Standing orders
Every wave, three phases.
01
Prepare
Open the supply depot. Buy weapons and ammo, place barricades, turrets and traps in the bands outside the core, and patch up whatever the last wave broke. Your backpack only holds so much.
02
Fight
The wave comes in surges from every side. Climb the stone stairs to the wall tops and fire over the parapet, throw grenades, and call in an airstrike when it gets ugly. Zombies can still reach up at you.
03
Count
Every kill pays, and clearing the wave pays a bonus that grows with each one. Prices climb too, so spend it well. Then the quiet ends.
The fort
Build it. Break it. Fix it.
The fort is three concentric rings with four gates, then two, then one. Zombies have to chew through the barricades; you walk straight through them.

Know the dead
Five kinds of trouble.
Walker
From wave 1
Gaunt, hunched and relentless. The bulk of every wave.
Runner
From wave 3
A sprinter in a torn tracksuit, bent low and clawing.
Bloater
From wave 4
Swollen and boil-covered. It bursts at your gates, and the bursts chain.
Armored
From wave 5
Riot gear. It shrugs off bullets but not fire or electricity.
Brute
From wave 9
Hulking, shirtless and shackled. Smashes barricades with both fists.
Battlegrounds
Six places to make a stand.
The original battleground
Civil War Fort
Three brick rings with stone stairs, fire lanterns on every wall top, cannons on the ramparts and a ruined, burning suburb all around.
Offset gates and baffle walls
Foundry Yard
An industrial yard with snaking baffle walls and an inner furnace hall. Same waves, a very different fight.
1775
Bunker Hill
The redoubt on the hilltop above the harbour, with the Royal Navy firing broadsides from the river below.
1917
The Trenches
A zig-zag firing trench, plank bridges and the HQ bunker. Trenches slow the horde, so it heads for the bridges.
1836
The Alamo
A moonlit mission compound. Hold the plaza walls, fall back through the Long Barracks, make the last stand in the chapel.
1942
Stalingrad
A ruined factory in a snowy, burning city. Rubble-choked streets funnel the horde onto three north gates.
