on the same concept it'd be fun if u saw barbarian kaijus (that doesn't destroy cities when atackin it) that would have the same power as a death mech spawn rarely in the world in any era

Mr. Noodle the zombie models were included in the Red Death scenario from the October 2020 update, moreover the Zombies Defense mode includes things such as the faith mechanic to control or repel zombies, and new defenses such as the wooden and modern barricades. Other than the zombies. Considering Firaxis created the assets and the fact that nobody owns the idea of a "zombie defense mode" Firaxis' own mode is fair game.

Wow. Firaxis or whoever mat have actually lifted this(?) zombie mod, messed with it, and added it to the game. This was posted oct. 2020 while their portugal pack dropped- which included the zombie mode- in march of 2021.
The zombie mode is... okay? but highly unrefined and can be blatantly unfair. Not what you would expect from an official release, but par for the course for Firaxis. I was looking for a "better zombies" mod to tweak the settings and found this. The similarities are uncanny.

Serious Nerf needed

Is it me or the Devs took this to add it as an officially mode?

@Red-Eyed thanks i'd definitely want to do that if grabbing this.

this came out before the zombie mode dlc? the models look really similar. i dont need the dlc to use this?

To make it also feel like a horde, edit the name of the "zombie" to "zombie Horde"
-File is located on Data folder ( Zombie_Units.xml using notepad++)
-edit name and description from "zombie" to "Zombie Horde"

For people who wants to make the zombie look like a real horde, do the following:
-Open the files ( SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2271162955 )
-Go to artdef folder and edit unit.artdef with notepad++
-Look for UNIT_ZOMBIE then scroll up
-Change the value of scale from 1 to 0.7 (RED style) and amount from 4 to 12
-save. that's it. they'll look smaller (compt for RED) and will look like a horde

entry edited should look like this:

<Element class="AssetObjects..FloatValue">
<m_fValue>0.700000</m_fValue>
<m_ParamName text="Scale"/>
</Element>
<Element class="AssetObjects..IntValue">
<m_nValue>12</m_nValue>
<m_ParamName text="Count"/>
</Element>

using this mod rn and barbarians glitch pls fix

I honestly just need a mode that makes zombies stop from spawning after come tech- in cities.
I can't have it always happening: 3 first eras it's fine and fun and then around turn 240+ it becomes an annoying CHURN.

Zombies are so powerful that I can't fight them in classical times

New Life in Jesus' Name, Amen

How to change spawn rate?

maybe Zombie start on Information Era?

[sshhh, stop giving the devs ideas for free]

Now we only need diseases.. and doctor units.. and the tech og vaccine. (like in the times right now)

Thought you should know there is a problem where the zombies start spawning immediately and it is very hard to play because they one shot all my warriors

Zombies aren't showing up on the map for me, the models that is - I see them, but just their icon

They keep spawning in classical era. Since they ignore Cities it is not unplayable but.......
Also they can be captured by an Apostle wich is why i steamrolled the entire Map with Zombies now -.-

Is there an option to increase their rate spawn as the game progress? Or make them spawn more and attack cities just like the typical zombies from movies and video games?

Can we play as a zombie empire?. let them swim

But zombies and unity are not shown

Zombies spawned in classical era with like 85 combat strength and decimated everyone lol

I've tried this zombie and you don't really see anything either the unit or the zombie group or the barbarians or anywhere, I've used it together with warfare reloaded, how rare, invisible zombies

this would be great with R.E.D hahaha

we have vampires, we have zombies, now we need werewolves :O !!!!!

I really want this love this mod, the more fantasy like mods, the better. However the mod does have some problems; see in my game they started spawning them classical era. While it was fun at first to have white walker threat to shake-up to the game, it ultimately rendered the game un-winable. I'd recomend balancing a zombies to be stronger, but balanced to the era they spawned in.

L4D mod actually covers zombies really well on an OP scale. This is sooo toned down compared to it lol! Thank you

Maybe buff the zombies a little bit to match its Combat Strength with Atomic Era Units (etc. Corps, Armies). They get 1 shotted all the time. . Just to give them a fighting chance. lol

This mod is awesome, thank you @Deliverator23. I've personally been debating about making a zombie civ mod but wasn't sure.

@Flactine: It can only be done by including the relevant Platforms files.

How to gain Red Death 2's textures? CIV6 SDK Assets has no Red Death 2's textures yet.

@Judgemental Soldier
Devs are too busy adding MP-only game modes that nobody asked for whilst breaking SP mechanics.

A lovely addition the devs should have tried.

@vincepirez: Unfortunately I'm don't know enough about making Lua code multiplayer compatible to fix this myself.

Can a version of this mod be made to include all eras?

Tried playing a multiplayer game with this mod, and any player who isn't the host constantly gets desync errors every turn. Tried disabling the mod and it no longer happens. Has this been tested in multiplayer? Would love to have zombies with friends :D

omg, thats amazing

yes! Real zombies

Brains!

nice touch this ... now to burn out the infected

Love it!

Well this is going to blow up.

This mod with L4D2 MOD has a very good effect. All zombies belong to this one. Zombies with 85 combat power on the map

otherwise very good

as i found out, this is sort of compatible with RED and warfare expanded
