Gameplay: ZOMBIES

[flukeman]

OK JUST for the month of october there should be zombies.
easy to kill but hard hitting zombies.
the empires would be forced to unite and so everyone counts as a friendly (i would love to see alliances between the empires build up yet in the back-ground we would still be trying to secure territory for the aftermath).

the amount of zombies that appear in the area would depend on how many kills happened there over the past year (the crown is gonna be fun).

the zombies would take over adjacent hexes and "infect them" this turns the hex black on the map no resorces can be gained from and more zombies start to spawn there. (until an empire reconquers it through capping it normally).
the aim of the empires would simply to survive.

i feel this would be very fun to do and it would break up the otherwise monotonous battles with desperate alliances. (just imagine a NC force being nearly overrun by the dead only for the to be saved by a TR battle cruiser and a Magrider column that were sent out to ensure the NC don't fail to defend the territory.
