TWD Communities RANKED

[@FUJIIDEW]

I honestly never understood why killing walkers on the fence wasn't a main priority in the prison. Sure, it sucks, but dirty jobs will always exist and especially one that important should have been carried out at ALL times. We see Rick farming and there's just a horde piled up on the fence with no one taking care of it, no wonder they got sick. Also, Alpha's camp was a joke, imagine being in the woods. There you go, that's it. How in the hell did anyone follow her? "Hey guys lets run around in the woods with corpses, smell like shit, treat each other terribly, and kill our babies" Psh yeah right.

[@SirIsaacClarke]

I'd like to think of the Prison is meant to be a lesson for Rick and the group not to get too comfortable and lazy within the confines of the home base. The relied too much on the fence for security and that hubris lead to them not constantly mopping up the hordes of zombies and getting rid of the corpses outside the parameters, which slowly weakened not only the fence over time, but their sense of danger outside of the fence. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it and it looked like a cool set piece to have in the back whenever they were outside.

[@izumi2165]

they followed alpha for 2 reasons: -they used to have another leader who may have run things differently -they never seemed to die from walkers or other stuff like the rest of the communities. when people can't fight or grow stuff, they're pretty much worthless so they can't really start a community themselves because they can't clear a building and they also can't help in any other meaningful way to put things into working condition, because they can cook or clean but a farmer can do that too, so they only serve a purpose in a well established setting

[@tetraxis3011]

@ Yeah. Those nurses and doctors were Terrible people.

[@S.pilgrim]

@@tetraxis3011 To be fair to the doctors and nurses, it was a very tough decision. Chances are they probably had their own families, loved ones, who they wanted to keep safe. Looking after the very elderly at that assisted living center was a gargantuan task. As well as those individuals being vulnerable, they were unable to contribute much to their own upkeep in terms of scavenging for supplies and defense. It was also a task that would be theirs for life. It was initially a job, they did it for money, but now due to the apocalypse do we expect them to do it for the rest of their life? The gang deserve admiration for their courageous and virtuous act, but I don't think we can particularly condemn the doctors and nurses for not signing the rest of their life away in a post apocalyptic society. After all, very few would make the decision the gang members did.

[@mistermath481]

Should be included, the Greene's farm is at the middle of nowhere with swamps around (making zombies *cough cough* WALKERS- get stuck), good farming and silent, so walkers would probably turn around and never break in if you keep the lights off... (Sorry any english mistakes, btw)

[@vardiganxpl1698]

Hershel's Farm is a pretty decent set up for a settlement on the apocalypse, one they have the advantage for agriculture where they can farm the land, and if they did well with maintaining their livestock, they have a reliable food source Plus the farm is far off isolated enough that most Walkers wouldn't really be coming by, with only the odd 1 or 2 or even 3 occassionally passing through, though they'll mostly be stuck in the swamps and streams, or deep in the forest. But still far enough that they wouldn't be a problem for long Really the only main downside of the farm is that it isn't exactly that well set in protecting them against potential hostile survivors and raiders The farm is too open to reliably cover, and they don't enough strong structure to defend from or hold out in. And made worst that it is a farm, any desperate survivor would recognize generally that a farm is a good location for food and supplies or basic shelter. So it is only a matter of time before a raider decides to plunder it for themselves But all in all, the farm is a decent settlement

I think the snowstorm caused irreparable damage.

[@izumi2165]

the water system failed because it was too old to repair and even then they didn't have any plumber or even proper parts, so a fire destroyed a big part of it. they lost agriculture because there was a pest they couldn't get rid of which caused them to burn everything and start from scratch. they only lost food because they didn't think of separating crops enough for them to not all catch that thing

[@SirIsaacClarke]

Honestly, I think the remains of each group should have just flocked to one place and set up a mega colony after the Savior wars. Every group lost people and infrastructure, alot of people, and they should have just looted what was useful from the bases not selected for all of them to live at. Granted, they would have to decide what place to completely fortify, and the tension between the remaining saviors and the other survivors hadn't simmered at all, but it would ultimately be the right choice. Dangerous to put all your eggs in one basket, but you'd have all the resources going to one location, not spread out between all the other ones.

One thing that always really bugged me is that they never went to mt washington or even discussed it. Their entire reason for going tk D.C. (after finding out eugene was lying) was because they thought it there was their best for finding safety. A good chance there was still some govt or they'd have a fortifide camp loaded with supplies. Mt washington is a fallout shelter for VIPs built under a mountain. Its massive and can hold thousands for years completely sealed. I get they found Alexandria, but mt washington should still be an option as a backup, or to get supplies or at least checkout. Deanna was a congressman, she'd know all about it. Its like an hour from alexandria. They could've at least mentioned it away somehow.

Woodbury is gold, but Prison is silver... this is insane. Ricks group snuck into Newberry once a week and had no fighting abilities outside of like 5 dudes. Yeah, the prison needed a stronger fence. The fence in the mean time was fine. Id just prioritize burying either scavenged 4x4's or just tree trunks in front of it and tie it to the fence, double reinforcement itd be like colonial forts. As they rotted they could just be replaced. Some extra chain link poles that you can find everywhere would've also helped. Also you can do a make shift sugi ban with a bonfire and old motor oil to drastically slow the wood rot. Sickness comes with every growing community, but you can limit with quarantine and mandatory cell lockups at night so if someone turns they can't kill the whole cell block. The only true critique about the prison is the optics, every scumbag in the state knows about the place and what it has and will think to go there. Its a good idea and so the PR would make it uninhabitable. Functionally, it's platinum tier though. Those things have workshops, infirmary, armory, kitchen, library, huge yards, isolation wards, plenty of beds, clothes, facilities, power generators, communication abilities, watch towers, fortifications, vehicles. But no, a 4 block town is better equipped...

[@Roshambo920]

They only managed to sneak into Woodbury because Michonne had used her time there to find a way back in. By the end of the next day they had found the weak point they used and reinforced it as well as other potentially weak areas. Rick and the group were also far above the capabilities of average survivors by that time. If the Governor had defeated the prison then his new training regiments would have seen the majority of Woodbury become capable fighters. They also had far more room for expansion and facility adaptability than the prison as they were already planning on adding new space in the town of Woodbury as well as their overall territory of influence.

[@marcushennings9513]

I'm still pondering where all the bodies from all those walkers vanished to once they received the jabs and in reality that fence line would have been so full of flies, maggots and vermin they alone would probably cause another outbreak but y'alls commander and chief Rick put his people up front and personal with them all day and night.

[@jacob41057]

God this is such a cool list. I think you could do a follow up of all these communities fighting each other & seeing who wins. I mean, it probably comes down to the Whisperers & Saviors. I know our boy Gold poo poo's on the Whisperers. And while I tend to agree with his points. In universe the Whisperers were a literal major threat to our fully formed coalition. It's even partially implied that the death of Alpha is the only reason our heroes survived. Seemingly if Alpha lived to lead the full war the Whisperers likely would've won. I still think the Saviors simply had the military might to beat the Whisperers. So my bet being the Saviors edging that fight. But still seeing where they all rank against each other in combat could be cool. Damn this was a fun video! I do want to see more! The Spin Offs offer some fun enough new communities. I think Fear had enough variety of communities that you could do a video solely based on that 1 spin off. But all the other spin-offs at most have 2 seasons & limited groups per show. It's like max 3 communities worth talking about per show so all the other spin offs could be covered in their own video. That would at least give you 2 vids to make & make this a 3 part series. 4 part if you dedicate a final video to the bigger communities like commonwealth, CRM, Maybe even the regular military as seen at the start of the apocalypse? I would also point out you missed the Reapers. While disappointing I think they were far better than anyone in shit or bronze. Also the Wolves, The Claimers & what not weren't mentioned. Maybe you can argue these groups are more nomadic raiders than communities which I'd tentatively agree with, in which case maybe a nomadic groups tier list would be fun?

Half the power of the US military? The CRM started as the philly national guard who opted out of operation cobalt. It was a city state that thrived with an effective army. Military command broke and resorted to mass bombardments instead of making dedicated strong points and arming it with an entire unit of NG.

The one thing that gets me about the later episodes, where we run into the Commonwealth and especially the CRM, is a complete lack of any tactical thinking by the people in charge. We see the CRM hauling shit around in Chinooks. All they need to do is locate a herd, ferry in a few sturdy cages that can hold ten or twenty troops, and drop them on the edge of the herd. The dead would swarm the cages, be unable to do anything, and just get butchered. When there's enough of them dead, hook the damn cages up to a chopper and fly the troops inside out. Better use of resources than gassing people to death for no reason. I guess they just had to go OTT for the big villain in The Ones Who Lived but it was ridiculous. Even the smaller communities could have done something similar by luring herds into a pre-prepared kill zone with an easy escape route, like a river, or the damn ocean with the settlement beside the sea. You'd clear so many dead. Then again, it was always about humans being more dangerous than the zombies.

[@topsdaily_productions]

Can't think of zombie apocalypses in a strategic way otherwise the whole story falls apart.

[@izumi2165]

the kingdom is barely gold. the plumbing was too old which ended up making it fall, and the crops died from a single pest they couldn't get rid of because they grew stuff too close to each other, which is a fatal mistake that didn't happen to hilltop or alexandria, who were taught to farm by actual farmers

[@TheRealCaptainGold]

It was mainly the plumbing issue and the boilers breaking, causing fires at the worst time. The Kingdom fell to a series of unfortunate events, not due to anything inherently wrong with it.

[@izumi2165]

@TheRealCaptainGold having all the crops near each other is clearly a big issue and it affects them even without a pest around them, which is one of the two main reasons they fell, and the plumbing/boilers breaking is an inherent flaw to a place. you wouldn't buy a house that needs to be half torn down to be repaired so it doesn't destroy the whole building in 10 years or less, and it's even worse in the end of the world because you can't access the parts or the knowledge to do the swap. this wouldn't be an issue if the place itself could be rebuilt with chimneys and better insulation, but that would've been too hard and the place already had fire damage so there was no time

[@TheRealCaptainGold]

@ That’s fair. I’m just saying what happened within the lore - those were the main reasons for the fall. The fires caused from the boilers breaking and the pipes rupturing left the kingdom ruined. You could argue the crop situation could be worked around via trade. All the communities after the Savior War tended to help each other. For the most part. Things got less cordial after Rick left for some odd reason and they never expanded on it.

for the prison i always thought that their best bet was to just use a method to attract walkers away and then have a large team dig a trench like if they would have and it was big enough that would have stopped the cars hitting it or like maybe even the tank if its wide enough but like legit they couldve just made a big trench and have the only exit be towards the forest

If you recall though, the truck itself didnt actually breach the wall. The wall only got breached because the tower next to the wall collapsed onto the wall.

the walking dead could capitalize on the simulater games, imagine you could build in and survive one of these specific places, like i just keep imagining the prison but in the style of the forest but with like more stuff so like imagine just finding or making brick to then build up along the gate fences and next a layer of cinder blocks like ahhhhh ahha- idk

As a military force I would consider the whisperers to be one of the best. For the time they were in the show they were well equipped and their tactics are what kept them from being instantly annihilated by the communities.

[@stevekook-xw3is]

I dont remember much of their equipment but their defence vs zombies was 2nd to none. Exsausting to think about the fact that others had to run from them when fuel ran out or transport broke down.

[@onlyalisaawilliams]

I knew you were going to put the Kingdom at the top, because they had the best thriving community when introduced . If Negan wasn’t Negan , which caused damage , and then the whispers they could’ve survived indefinitely, once they got their water situation together.

[@gerardmcquade9102]

really good list with great points, i never noticed terminus had any crops in it, the only thing i would say is you down played the hospital a bit because they had crops on the roof and in the dump im sure they all had shipping containers to sleep in, and you were Right about the whisperers they could be taken out by some non lethal weapon of some kind because you just need to let the walkers do the work for you after that then you can do your redirecting tactics to take care of them, they probably did wild food foraging mostly and some hunting to stay alive and taking from communities that they beat

[@Powergenetic]

Tbh I think he downplayed the whisperers just a tad. Okay they're a bit weird and don't have a great standard of living but their ability to deal with and even control zombies is second to none. No other community except maybe the commonwealth and civic republic come anywhere close to their effectiveness and in the latters case it's only because they have an experienced, large and well stocked military. The whisperers walk among and control the herd at their disposal. Realistically nobody is getting close to their camps as to do so they need to go through thousands of zombies to do so. Their philosophy isn't too great, sure, but its worked well enough.

[@gerardmcquade9102]

@@Powergenetic Henry was in there, Daryl was in there and Maggie Daryl and Negan learned how to control them and Elijah

[@AntonioRecio-s8f]

​@@Powergenetic The greatest advantage they have is stealth among zombies. If enemy targets 1 of them and that person gets hit he or she is done but rest can move on. The issue with them is that what they do isn't living. They merely survive. They do not live like humans and at some point they will be more like animals than humans. It is great to be able to control zombies ngl.

[@Powergenetic]

@@gerardmcquade9102 Tbf to Daryl and the main cast like their plot armour is so thick that they would survive a massive explosion using nothing but a wet tarp ... Wait a second ... Controlling zombies was always something that annoyed me though post whisperers. They knew it worked, they'd seen it work, they had a veteran whisperer among the community in Lydia but rarely ever tried to employ those methods for herding zombies. It made ZERO sense. Like, if you're on a looting run why wouldn't you just loot somewhere while disguised as a walker? Or at least clear said area with the disguise?

[@Twd_fan439]

But the whisperers do their business out of their camps as Alpha said when Negan went up to her and apologized she said that it was for hygiene purposes not privacy but yea everything else was really bad and it also doesn’t make sense that the people from terminus decided to just change to agriculture or some other way to get food after all that time also great vid

[@Coproquim]

the prison would have been prefect if they'd just taken the time and effort to dig a moat/berm around it. Even a dry one, unconnected to the nearby lake, would have been more than sufficient to guard against anything short of one of the mega herds that you see in season 8 onwards, and even the tank would have had trouble breaching the perimeter

[@stevekook-xw3is]

Yeah. After all i found out that tanks are not that much 4 x4 vehicles. Their pressure on ground is smaller than that of a man. Yeah shocking but 1 has to consider how much they touch the ground with their massive chain tracks. So a good ditch could become a problem for a tank as the pressure on the ground will become disproportionally large if tank doesn't find a sufficient soil to go through. There is this topic of Russian tanks being much lighter than western made tanks in the Ukrainian war so. I think we got to see an impressive size horde while the group was at Alexandria in its earlier days. U might remember they lead that horde through barriers on their road and lead them to their doom in a massive hole. I thought that was not great due to the risk. The horde was on the bottom in a valley and trucks had blockaded its access north. Sure something has to be done as the zombies managed to go through blockade in tiny quantity but the horde was huge and things went out of control before managing to sort it out.

[@stevekook-xw3is]

Hershel's farm is defenceless joke. They will not survive a horde going their way. Dont remember any sort of fence. Barbed wire may be present but not enough. Other than that they are too few living in just a house and having a barn if not 1 more shite building. These cannot hold on for long due to the materials they are built with.

putting the sanctuary over alexandria is nuts imo

[@gingeranagram2467]

I loved the Whisperer arc, but i struggled to understand why tf anyone would want to live like that - other than just being insane like Alpha and Beta

[@stevekook-xw3is]

Its bad when u think about the matter of their extreme potential over others. This group could make its own safe heaven since it could control zombies. Smelling like them allows the humans to get close and investigate their numbers to then just butcher them all. Look after a big area and lead the horde around that safe heaven. Outside we live like shits and smell like shits but once at base they could live so fine. No other group thought of that defence. Jee they do not have to run from zombies. That is a huge plus. No need to waste bullets for nothing.

[@RuzzyID]

What if Dawn's group was the one that wiped out the Vatos, cuz yk..? As for the prison, if you took the guys from Alexandria and put em there too with the original group (with characters such as Merle etc) and their supplies, I honestly think the prison becomes OP, it could be cleaned up, new fortifications, repainting here and there and honestly look better

[@stevekook-xw3is]

New forward fortifications are key to saving that community. Its food and water is outside solid defences so a rival community may starve it out by shooting at it from forests.

[@farright118]

I agree with everything, but the bar maybe swapping the governor and the prison

[@petersmythe6462]

I think for whisperers to work, what you want is for them to be nomadic but somewhat more affluent (like real nomads who have universally had a better standard of living than the agrarian farmworker masses until the 20th fucking century). Though to be fair, their propaganda partly relies on living like the dead being the only sustainable way, so deliberately avoiding luxury is probably kind of to their benefit. Oh yeah, and having better leadership would probably help. Like actually caring about keeping your population of humans up.
