So how do you specialise in knowledge about zombie behaviour and using their behaviour to your advantage? You can't just specc into int for that, it is your own brain doing the work :cocksure:

Or you read the patch notes.

Your killin' me man! I'm genuinely excited to see what skills you invested in for your build and the tour of your base. I think the last time you did a tour of your base was, with a castle if I remember correctly.

nah I wouldn't want them doing all the work. just to get a bit of a feel for using them to justify the cost for making it. like I think it's 4 forged iron for the metal spikes and yes it's not a lot but when making enough to go around a 7x7 base and watching them break as fast as the wood it almost made them pointless to use. at least from what I remember when using them in alpha 17.

If I look into the xml:

Iron spikes have 4 times as much damage output as wood spikes, but also the radiated zombies have nearly 4 times as much HP as the basic zombies.

One wood spike damages 3/4th of one basic zombie. That is how much swings of an iron axe? Compare that to the work to mine and scavenge the equivalence of one 7.62mm bullet.

Hi guys, I've been lurking lately because I'm moving from my old apartment to a new house and I don't have a lot of free time. I have a question tho.

Where is it?

Your new house or your old? You should ask your landlord. :cocksure:

 
Wow, I have a treat for you guys.... I recorded day 77 and it was super intense! Sorry no behemoth spawned, but I promise you some crazy action. I will need to farm 2k rounds for the next horde and have another m60 on my belt :) Uploading now.
Here you go:

Is the dynamic music system turned off for the horde, or was it just random chance that it wasn't playing?

I'm lovin' the new hi res icons! The +1 hp +1 stamina per level is very interesting. has the perk, I cannot remember the name, that adds max HP been removed?

-still watching base tour part

EDIT: just seen the garage door, yes yes yes!!!!!!!

A18 is looking good, hell yeah! This might be to premature but it looks like A18 will bring back the joy of looting. :)

Thank you for the video, that was greatly greatly appreciated.

The shooting then he blows up is the problem. Is he holding a (un)dead-mans switch? If he reached your last door, what could you have done? Your chests were two meters away, is the blast radius one meter?
I plan playing the game vanilla, at least twice. But the Demo man feels trollish to me. I'm pretty sure he will not be apart of my game for long.

He might be your buddy, let him get clogged up near his friends, shoot and boom, free rocket to blow up a bunch of nearby zeds.

I'm assuming that you will get the experience for killing the group?

I don't remember but A16 was so boring this is all the further I got:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DC8qAorVwAEJpji?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

A18 is by far the most engaged I've been in the game in years, and is the best version ever. Of course take that with a grain of salt I always say that (the latter part). But this time the whole team feels this way not just me.

Nice! :) Wouldn't mind if you did a walk though of that castle.

Easy. Same way as how you spec. into not being a smartass. :p

Joking aside, I dont think there is a perk/skill/attritube for zombie behavior analysis....yet....get to working madmole! 😅

 
Yeah I'm glad tower defense got some major improvements, I had a blast last night. The funny thing is I go to all the vending machines and buy out the dog food so I can craft grandpa's learn'n elixer :D Might as well level as much as I can on horde night, leveling is a female dog at level 60.

You could always make it so leveling up past 60 isn't so bad. :)

Also, if you want better stopping power, you could always put down another set of iron bars in front of the first.

You could hold out twice as long.

@Madmole I just got done watching the full video. If I may make a suggestion, this is my ocd kicking in btw, for the iron spikes you should be able to do advanced rotation and stick them to the walls of your base instead of stacking them up. They look much more natural this way, just sayin'.

I'm pretty sure I stuck the spikes to my base walls in A17 but I could be wrong.

Also what inspired your base design? I get a feeling of Italian or Spanish architecture when viewing parts of the base.

I just had an idea....it would be cool if every 7th horde night is more intense somehow. would add another layer of terror, especially if you don't math.

Long deleted, but I might rebuild it someday.
