UDWiki:Open Discussion/DangerMap Version 4

Let's get this discussion back on track and see if we can hash out a new DangerMap system.

Goals

• Make Danger Reports more relevant to the game's decreased playerbase.
• Make danger levels more NPOV.
• Build on existing system. Don't reinvent the wheel.
• Keep the map presented on Suburb uncluttered.

Relevant Discussion

• Talk:Suburb#NPOV_Suburb_Levels
• Talk:Suburb#The_ghost_town_problem
• User_talk:Zombie_Lord/sandbox1

Ideas

A few ideas have been put forward.

NPOV Population Based

Proposed by Zombie Lord on Talk:Suburb#NPOV_Suburb_Levels.

Cell	Level	Description
	Survivor Controlled	Zombie break-ins rare, Survivors hold practically the entire suburb.
	Survivor Advantaged	Daily Zombie break-ins, but Survivors hold most buildings.
	Contested	Many buildings ruined, ransacked or inhabited by Zombies but Survivors hold a significant area of control.
	Zombie Advantaged	Zombies inside most resource buildings, with small pockets of Survivor holdouts.
	Zombie Controlled	Most buildings wide open or Zombie inhabited, Survivors hold little to no ground.
	A Ghost Town	At least 2/3rds of the suburb's buildings empty of Survivors or Zombies.

NPOV Infrastructure Based

Another idea put forward by Zombie Lord after some discussion at Talk:Suburb#NPOV_Suburb_Levels.

Cell	Level	Description
	Survivor Fortress	At least 90% of buildings are Repaired.
	Survivor Stronghold	At least 70% of buildings are Repaired.
	Battleground	Ratio of Ruined/Ransacked buildings to Repaired buildings is 69% / 29% either way.
	Zombie Ruin	At least 70% of buildings are Ruined/Ransacked.
	Zombie Wasteland	At least 90% of buildings are Ruined/Ransacked.
	A Ghost Town	At least 2/3rds of the suburb's buildings empty of Survivors or Zombies.

EMR Based

A final version suggested by Zombie Lord after much user input.

Cell	Level	EMR Rating
	Infrastructure Intact	***
	Minor Structural Damage	**-
	Heavy Structural Damage	*--
	Infrastructure Wrecked	---

Cell Icon	Level	EMR Rating
	lights are on across the suburb	A
	several buildings with power	B-C
	no lights on down there	D-F

Cell Icon	Level
