[IDEA] Zombie's Spawn Outside of Cites

[barnard401 0]

I am very sorry if this has been posted before, but I really need to break away from this great game and get some sleep; I cannot summon the effort to scan the previous pages of threads with my blurry eyes.

The way I see it, nobody at all likes having zombies spawn on top of you 10 seconds after you have just cleared the earlier populace. I have thought that a good way to fix this would be to have zombies spawn outside of towns and cities and gravitate towards them.

I believe this will help in two major ways:

1. Players don't have to worry about zombies spawning literally two feet away from them and ripping them to shreds.

2. This can mean that zombies do actually spawn in the wilderness, which is what quite a few people do want, and will mean that there won't have to be double as many zombies that spawn inside cities and some that spawn outside; they will all just spawn in the forests and slowly go towards the cities.

There are, however, a couple of flaws that go along with my idea:

1. There will have to be a kind of 'story' to fit in why the zombies don't all start out in the cities which is what one would expect as those would be the populated areas. (Perhaps all the residents were chilling at a massive rave in the forest when the 'infection' struck :D) < That ain't a serious suggestion but I'm sure some others could come up with much better stories to fit in.

2. The idea would not work with the current spawning system, as by the time the zombies get there the survivors will be long gone. I believe that perhaps all towns start out with a small population of 'infected' so when the survivors arrive there will already be some there, and then more start eventually coming from the wilderness.

I'm sure there are more pros and cons with my idea and I would greatly appreciate it if you could post them below. :)

Thanks!
