Previously on average a zombie player would spawn around 7.5 squads per minute at max tech not including zombies such as turned or carcass. This would lead to lag and the inability to advance because of so many units. Zombies will now spawn around 4 squads per minute on average.

Every 10 minutes there will be a large wave of zombies. This is to encourage defense and offense gameplay as you can defend waves and push during the lull. Lower tier units will also be phased out or have reduced spawn rates in favor of their higher tier counterparts.

Zombies are now capped at 25 squads for 200 popcap or 8 pop per squad. Zombies created through different means such as carcass and turned do not contribute to popcap. Explosive special zombies contribute to popcap but ignore popcap limits. The amount of lag was getting out of control. Especially on larger maps where it would take several minutes for the zombies to walk across it resulting in huge drops for frame rate.

Drastically increased performance through several avenues. This should increase FPS, especially during late game. From my own testing 50+ minute mark went from 5-20 FPS to 30-45 FPS. Lag from the sheer number of units of course is still present but currently the balance of effects to performance is optimized as best as it could be.

Fixed the issue where zombies would clump up at the nodes before the enemy base if you repaired or held out long enough. This is actually an issue present within the base game from what I can tell. Hopefully the fix I implemented works but I can't be 100% certain.

• Added some commander upgrades for units.
  
• Added custom icons for zombies.
  
• Changed portraits for zombies.
  
• All infantry for every faction now captures nodes instantly.
  
• Zombies can now repair bridges.
  
• Zombie hordes will now spawn around every 10 minutes. This is to prevent predictability of horde timings that made gameplay too easy.
  
• Timer on zombie HQ for hordes has been reduced from 90 to 15 seconds.
  
• Changed zombie names. List can be found in Unit List discussion.
  
• Added hotkeys to units without them or had duplicate hotkeys. Vanilla hotkeys should be unchanged.

• Fixed bug where assault sections icon and text were wrong.

• Titans can now be seen in the FoW.
  
• Penetration for T4 and above standard zombies has been reduced from 70 to 50. This should allow tanks to withstand more damage.
  
• Goliaths no longer instantly kill zombies. The default damage of 200 still applies.
  
• OST commander concrete bunker armor increased from 0 to 25.

• AT guns, RPGs, and TD weapons have been reworked. Previously these units were pretty much useless against zombies due to their reduced infantry damage and low AoE. They now fulfill a support role applying powerful debuffs against zombies. You shouldn't need more than a couple of them to make full use of their abilities.
  
  • AT guns now apply a 5 second debuff named 'Shredded' on zombies that increase damage taken by 30% and lower damage dealt by 50%.
    
  • Tank Destroyers now apply a 5 second debuff named 'Concussed' on zombies that increase damage taken by 30% and lower movement speed by 30%.
    
  • RPGs now apply a 5 second debuff named 'Jolted' on zombies that increase damage taken by 30%.
    
  • AoE has been increased proportionally to their damage. The calculation is damage*0.02. For example a Pak40 does 160 damage so its new AoE will be 160*0.02 or 3.2.
    
  • Damage has been reduced to 10% of the previous values. Between the increased AoE and damage debuff this will be an overall increase in possible damage dealt.
    
  • Damage taken debuffs do not stack. A zombie can have all types of debuffs active on it but it will still only receive 30% increased damage.
• Descriptions explaining these changes will be added to these units.
  
• Added critical icons for these debuffs.
  
• Fixed bug where sometimes turned would be spawned for non-zombie players.
  
• Titans will now spawn at the 50 minute mark.
  
• Changed Titan weapon behavior. Previously if you were to run away after it attacked nothing would happen. Now it will explode whatever target it aimed at.

• Removed the unit cap for the KV-8.

  • Technicians
    
  • Tesla Troopers
    
  • Generator Carriage
    
  • Teleforce Halftrack
    
  • Tesla Tank
    
  • Mechanized Knights
    
  • Dreadnought
• Technicians can build a new structured called the Tesla Tower.
  
• These units (except technicians) fire energy weapons with perfect accuracy. However they must be in range of either a Generator Carriage, Tesla Tower, or HQ in order to shoot. Being powered will also increase movement speed by 10%.
  
• These units (except technicians) will drain a certain amount of fuel.
  
• Added criticals for powered/unpowered for these units.
  
• Reworked zombie run speed. They should be around the same speed as before but now able to attack while moving which was not possible for the faster zombies.
  
• Very fast zombies are slightly faster from 6 to 6.3.
  
• Charger speed has been increased from 9 to 11.
  
• Titan speed has increased from 6 to 7.2
  
• Changed Shredded critical icon to make it read better.

• Added handbrake to the Tesla Tank.
  
• Added better descriptions to the new units.
  
• Fixed grenades for conscripts
  

• Changed behavior of idle zombies. 5 minutes after spawning they will enter "berserker mode" and turn red. They will then run directly towards a flagged player HQ at increased speed. If they encounter enemies along the way they will resume normal behavior. This is to help with some maps having bad pathing causing the AI to become stuck, it should also help with lag by reducing the number of units on the field. Usually on a good pathing map zombies don't live for 5 minutes.
  
• Edited zombie weapon cover multipliers to be more consistent. Damage bonuses for cover have been removed and light/heavy cover have been buffed. Overall this means that cover protects much more and infantry wont receive additional damage for being out in the open.
  
• Made annihilation conditions only for HQ buildings. For USF, the Barracks is the annihilation condition.
  
• Barracks HP increased from 1500 to 3000.
  
• The majority of the non-essential USF base buildings are now destructible.
  
• Once a HQ building has been destroyed, it will permanently lose its flag. If a team loses all flags the game will be lost. HQ descriptions have been updated accordingly.
  
• HQ buildings now have healing, repairing, fuel, and power auras with a radius of 30.
  
• Added Airship type units. These are available from the Experimental Weapons Facility and Technician build menu. These units are extremely fast with good damage but drain ammunition. They require more attention than most units.
  
  • Rocketeers. Fast-moving flamethrower squad. Can be upgraded with flame missiles and rocket efficiency.
    
  • Hover Tank. Lightly armored tank with incendiary cannon and 2 flamethrower turrets. Can be upgraded with a molotov mortar and rocket efficiency.
    
  • Airship Refueling Station. Static structure that can refuel airship units. Can be upgraded with a special sniper and repair technicians.
    
  • Auto Turret. Quick deploying turret with incendiary rounds. When hydrogen tanks deplete it will self-destruct.
• Airship units have a new refueling mechanic. These units have hydrogen tanks which are depleted slowly. Moving depletes hydrogen tanks faster. Once hydrogen tanks reach 0, the unit's movement is slowed to a crawl. They may refuel at the Airship Refueling Station.
  
• Airship units can retreat to the HQ or Airship Refueling Station. They will ignore any forward retreat points. Hydrogen tanks are not depleted while retreating.
  
• Airship units while fueled have 40% received accuracy, which most times results in 60% chance to be hit. AoE will still always hit if the unit is near the center of the explosion. Miasma will still always hit. Rocket efficiency can upgrade this to 40% received accuracy.
  
• Airship units have a fiery death. Be careful of where you place them.
  
• Technicians can partially refuel airship units at an expensive cost.
  
• New zombie type: Infected Tesla Trooper. This zombie is immune to energy weapons and will have +50% damage if within a power aura. They will turn yellow when in the aura.

  • Sledge and Maul will create Turned Maul.

  • OKW/OST: Fallschirmjaegars
    
  • Brit: Airbourne Commandos

• Increased effectiveness of SMG type weapons. They now use mid values for far range.

• Non-zombie AI can now build extended emplacements.

• Added more effects to Stormcall.
  
• Tesla Trooper squad pop cost is reduced from 12 to 10.

• Changed Fortified Mortar Bunker projectile behavior. It should now land shots much faster.
