ZOMBIE-XCOM

[luke83]

Its come to my attention that TFTD had once planned zombie troop sprites. Is this something that people would like to make it into openxcom?

IF yes , would we keep original xcom:eu zombie as "zombie version of xcom troops" and make new armoured zombies peronal and power armour? Also zombie civilians would also need to be supported.

Everyones thoughts?

If we do go ahead with this idea , i would do the rest of the TFTD units when that game gets supported.

"zombified xcom soldiers" would definitely be an improvement over "xcom soldiers magically turning into generic zombies"

uh-oh... I just realised, the logical consequence would be that they should also retain their armor values... just imagine a zombie with power armor... of course the armor needs to be destroyed somewhere for the chryssalid to implant, but the rest would still be heavily armored... ouch.
