You think that this massive wall protected by a plethora of Executors and Ballistas will be enough? Think again. (Image credit: rovery) Layer your defenses Internal walls can help when the horde breaks through. Map hygiene might make all the difference. It's important to clear as much of the map as you safely can before the final wave, where any spare undead will join the finale. You can hit the C key to command these units to 'chase,' or seek and destroy any and all zombies on the map, though you'll still want to micromanage your forces, as they won't do much to arrange themselves intelligently. I like a mixture of Rangers, Snipers, and Thanatos, and a Titan or two if you're economically booming.

Once you've built up a reliable defense, put together a mobile fighting force for clearing the map. Be especially careful around a Village of Doom-the ghastly haunted houses that contain a large but finite amount of undead-as an early army will not prevail. The Sniper is also a viable option, but they generate much more noise, and will eventually attract lots of undead if they're firing often.

Armed with a bow and arrow they deal with the infected threat as silently as possible. Thankfully, humanity have given you the perfect tool for this job: the Ranger. In the early game you don’t want them banging at your door and so you want to make as little noise as possible. Some of them can run, some of them can hop over walls, some even spit splash-damaging acid. Zombies look so inoffensive with their low pool of HP and slow shuffling, right? Wrong! They are lethal death machines that will swarm you. Tiptoe in the early game but be ready to rumble in the late game. Most of the time their steep upkeep cost will only hurt your economy. Markets also let you sell excess resources and though they'll do so automatically, it's more efficient to do so yourself.ĭon’t build advanced buildings if you can expand and find resources elsewhere. You can only have three such districts so plan carefully on where you will put them for maximum efficiency. The Bank increases the gold output of surrounding buildings while the Market reduces the food cost of anything in its radius, and you should build a massive, dense housing district around them. The Market and Bank buildings should literally be at the center of your housing so plan for that from the start. Make sure to leave room on the green grass for Farms. Follow that by dropping seven Tents to get your worker numbers up, and also so you hit the first mayoral election as soon as possible.

The very first thing you want to build is either a Fisherman's Cottage or a Hunter's Lodge, depending on your starting position.
