Temporary storage for suggestions not quite ready for public discussion, while I expand and refine them, and verify facts concerning them. Feel free to comment.
Loud Zombies
Timestamp: | REMEMBER TO FILL THIS IN WHEN POSTING THE SUGGESTION |
Type: | New Skill |
Scope: | Zombies |
Description: | I suggest a new skill that would allow the zombies to shout with a one block range, meaning it could be heard in the eight neighboring blocks in addition to the zombie's current block. It would cost 2AP and the maximum length of the message would be 50 characters. This would be another text-box that is visible even if there are no characters in the same block as you. It would be next to the regular speech-box (if the regular speech-box is visible), similar to how survivors have separate boxes for normal speech, radio transmissions and spray-painting.
The voice would only carry on the outside, or inside large buildings, not from inside to outside or vice versa. It would still have the maximum limit of 50 listeners, starting from the current block. In the neighboring blocks the game-message would show the direction where the speaker was. The profile of the speaker would not be included, but zombies could still recognize if the speaker belonged to their group. Multiple speeches with the same content would be combined into one, while keeping their place of origin as shown below:
* You heard a shout from the north-west saying: "ZMAZH MRH MAN HAZ!" (10 pies and 35 rats ago) ...and again from the north ...and again from the north-east (10 pies and 30 rats ago).
I believe this would help ferals concentrate their efforts as they would be able to convey messages other than just "Food here!" further than their current block.

Modify Revive Observation Message
Timestamp: | REMEMBER TO FILL THIS IN WHEN POSTING THE SUGGESTION |
Type: | Interface |
Scope: | Wording |
Description: | My zombie was standing in a wasteland when someone revived a zombie. The message read: "Survivor injected a zombie with a syringe and it slumped to the floor."
How can someone slump to the floor when they're outside? I suggest giving the message a little variability, so that in different places it gives a different message:
