Would anyone reckon if a simple square walled compound, with ramps going down several blocks lining the outside that bring to zombies to a multi block thick wall where I can shoot down on them from above, and with towers on all 4 corners (with my main living quarters in a structure in the center of the compound) be a realistic base option for A18?

lol. I'm kinda hoping to get an answer from Madmole why no children because you never really see kids in any game that you can hurt. I always assumed it would be extremely bad PR. I'm more curious as to why the gaming industry does not go down that road.

Because parents and politicians would be screeching at game developers for allowing gamers to "kill virtual children". I don't think the answer lies any deeper than that.

I just searched the forums. 0 answers from madmole regarding children zombies and I looked through over 600 results that popped up on my last search. I even tried using verious words...still no answer that I am looking for. Not sure where to find these thousands of answers at...?

anyways this is was way more effort I put in than I wanted for an answer to something I was just curious about lol.

not sure. I am gonna try dart traps in the ceiling pointed down with pressure plate activators below them along the walls in strategic locations.so while they beat on the walls, they get shot whether crawling or standing... cheaper than bullets.

 
Even better would be something super creep like these! This game scared the crap out of me!

Another way is placing dart traps in the walls, set several blocks in, with several layers of arrow slits placed in front of each one.

But forcing the zombies into a closed area and having hell rain down upon them would be very effective as well, I'd imagine.

Edit: Also, unless this has been fixed, I would advise you NOT to use pressure plates. The last time I checked, they cause a lot of lag.

perhaps in MP, but in SP, the 1x5 trigger plates work fine so far only have 10 of em tho. and they only turn on when a zombie is actually on it, so it doesnt waste power or ammo like a switch would do.

the reason from above is so that 1 dart would get crawlers, animals, or standing. remember cant cripple certain zeds, so leg shots are a waste

IMO because there would be outrage. Violent Video games already get a bad reputation from the uninformed and are often blamed for crimes and mass shooting (USA) despite numerous studies which debunk the myth, Media (especially American) always fall back on gaming as the cause.

 
What psycho would want child zombies in the game jeez.

I don't see any problem with dwarf/gnome zombies with really err... thin voices however.

 
If its about a Threat in Form of a tiny, fast Enemy, why not mutated Spiders? Not from the US, but i guess around Arizona etc there are spieders (or scorpions ^^) too.
