What if you build a stone wall around each tower? This would give the towers more time to kill the ordes without being knocked down.

[@aaroncork3698]

Mediaeval castles are a great source for learning how to make great zombie defence. Chamber gates that extend from the main walls give a vital range advantage. Which is simply a gate positioned further out from your main walls protected by a second gate behind it. It gives added range, draws the zombies too the closest point of attack, and can minimise the use of excess materials. Ultimately there would be 16 gates for a square structure. 2 on either side of each corner depending on the size of the base.

[@arjunamirzada3688]

28:28 the x and z button chilling on the bottom: ah yes i wonder how can i rotate a building without placing it

[@arjunamirzada3688]

@zreset1554 ah yes for the sake of engagement

[@Extronic06]

The group of infected that hid in that building south of your HQ, didn't actually make it in the building, they got stuck and died in the daylight, you didn't understand what happened to them, now you know, you can see them die earlier in the episode

[@METALFREAK03]

14:09 also can do that with them being your adapted buildings. It's also a "free" tower in some ways as you can put a squad in each building.

[@travispluid3603]

I mean, you can also put squads inside of abandoned buildings as well, pretty sure. Maybe only after searching them though.

[@METALFREAK03]

@@travispluid3603 I believe it gives them more bonus dmg when it's your own building. But generally what I was saying was you can use those buildings as well as being your walls. As the adapted buildings (aka the "player's territory") are attractive to the infected, more than walls.

[@aaroncork3698]

My advice for Defence. Chamber gates that extend from the main walls give a vital range advantage. Which is simply a gate positioned further out from your main walls protected by a second gate behind it. It gives added range, added backup, draws the zombies too the closest point of attack (theroy) , and can minimise the use of excess materials.

[@Nashfanfl13]

Charlie you have made me so hyped for this game cannot wait for April 11th

[@nathanmorgan5543]

The difference between "let them go" and "release them first" is this. "Let them go" is forceful response such as "let them go or else". "Release them first" is a passive response is more or less trying to avoid conflict. He seen you as weak because of said response and ended up as worm food

[@RompinDonkey-bv8qe]

Enjoying the play through so far - 2 hours and counting on the EAR on steams page. Only learnt of this game this morning and my gaming taste buds were instantly moist 😁Thanks for helping to pass the time whilst waiting for the release to drop 👍

[@Diesal3]

Just in case you didn’t know, you can use Z to rotate before placing buildings. And the zombies can and do swim.

[@CharliePryor]

Yup

[@expensiveego]

Too excited to play this when it comes out! Thanks for giving me something to watch until then!

[@son_of_caesar8908]

Same here! Can't wait!

[@saisonblue]

love how your building and having a kill zone. BRAVO!

[@harrymitchell2713]

I'm loving this so much glad things seem to be flowing smoother then the first run. Excited for more to come. Stay safe and enjoy Char

[@CharliePryor]

Might be partially the rebalance, and partially just the fact I’m scavenging more aggressively in the beginning and going less on farms early.

[@METALFREAK03]

@@CharliePryor scav'ing is the most important part of the game for sure. I think your first try you were thinking way way into the future (which is good don't get me wrong) but you got tied up doing the future stuff instead of focusing on your local area. Once your local area has dried up, you should be then in a position to build for the future. (a little before total clear out of local area obviously.) Then expeditions just become a "bonus" scav'ing for items. Rather than the early game which is more scav'ing as if your life depends on it.

[@son_of_caesar8908]

Thank you for putting out multiple videos in a day. I love these videos you make. Scratching the itch until it releases on April 11th

[@Blend3rman]

Love this game! I agreed with a lot of your qualms/feedback, especially the need for "drag to select multiple squads" and the janky camera controls. I did feel like the rifles could be used more, I get that you don't want them to be locked up in a kidnapping event or something during the day, but having just one rifle in the squad could help you mow down the hordes during the night.

[@barredok]

They added box trucks to the game. It can hold up to 40 items. The HQ changed depending on the building you can have 4 to 8 squads. Having the box truck makes things easier early game because after the first combat in expeditions your squad never gets attacked. I've left them gathering for days until they filled the truck. The expedition to Fort Knox gave me 20 food, 2 AR, 1 sniper, 5 tools and 12 ammo

[@proape6052]

I'm surprised it was possible to actually lie to them and ambush them with a squad.

[@dimitridaenen4889]

If you put a squad in each building they act as an hq ... meaning you can pull the hordes across more buildings wich will constantly be shooting In the future its the same ... build your walls near you buildings ... big swarm coming? Fill your buildings near the walls and you will have a big defensive line

[@dimitridaenen4889]

Also ... the push to talk button in the bottom right should have a "recall all squadd" button

[@CharliePryor]

Every single building aside from HQ will fall in seconds, and need full resource repair or demoed forever when it happens. They all have less health than a single tower does. HQ is the best defensive structure in the game.

[@barredok]

Early on you can use buildings as part of your walls. Remember to garrison your important buildings in the large horde attacks or you are going loose them.

[@lemon14141]

You can easily get more people by pressing the push to talk and broadcasting the welcome message

[@CharliePryor]

Duh

[@tiraus]

You popped up on my home page and I’m hooked. I really want to play this game as soon as possible. Keep up the awesome vids, can’t wait for the next one 😁😁

[@CharliePryor]

Welcome aboard!

[@undercoverboomer9692]

spoiler alert, this is what's known as a "classic charlie": charlie queues a massive list of buildings without securing the resources needed to complete them, then assigns all the people as builders so they wait around for resources that never arrive.

[@adikius2326]

yes you can save a lot of time and recources by just building segments of walls between the empty buildings surrounding your base . this way you can have a bigger base with muss less effort 😉

[@tomhavenith2330]

Research option Listening post or radar tower or somesuch to get a better understanding where hordes are and from where they're coming. Seems like an easy addition to me. The idea would be: On day the infected are weaker so it's better to killsquad them over day then to let them roam freely at night.

[@gratmccall]

Yeah, you definitely punched thyself in the ballz by having a thirty person start.

[@SchwarzerWolf1000]

One time they got my squad and went out to fight zombies and die, my squad got free :) Free stuff

[@Vivademort]

I believe your guys can shoot from any building not just HQ. So when the 6 hordes came the defenders could have all been in a corner building one car could kite the hordes past.

[@CharliePryor]

HQ health is like 2-4X all other buildings. Hordes can invade structures that aren’t HQ too

[@Vivademort]

If kiting them by the building do you think they would change priority from car to people inside the unclaimed structure? Also will they go inside claimed structures? Could you claim the corners and use as towers? Looking forward to it coming out so I can answer these questions myself, lol.

[@erikmac182]

You can shoot at zombies from the cars so you don't need to get people out of the cars and you canset squads in building other than your HQ to have them use them as watch towers

[@nikman1979]

You can use tab and select where you wanna go in pause, then all squad will go at same time

[@coinman1972]

I recognize the friend's voice. It's the guy from The Hunter, Call of the Wild game. :)

[@CharliePryor]

I'll have to check that out. He makes for a great character.

[@strokemondeo]

OMG ... I've timed it perfect today , finished work ,got home n I have x2 episodes to watch ...get in there . Loving the new start up ....keep em coming . Also what about looking into weapon production ?

[@bryonelsberry3506]

How do you rotate your camera when your building a wall? I cant figure that outm (btw loving the video's)

[@Mr.0s]

Finish other episode. Start with a new one in same day. Love it. :D

[@Vivademort]

In reply to your reply.....If kiting them by the building do you think they would change priority from car to people inside the unclaimed structure? Also will they go inside claimed structures? Could you claim the corners and use as towers? Looking forward to it coming out so I can answer these questions myself, lol.

[@CharliePryor]

They will go into unclaimed structures and directly attack, yes. However, if the door is inside your walls, they cannot get into the building until they get into your borders. But at that rate, it's no different than just standing by the wall anyways.

[@Beardedbacon71]

The dude who calls you on the radio sounds a bit like trevor from gta

[@dieseljester3466]

So it makes me wonder; does this game follow the local climate and geography for whatever place you choose?

[@CharliePryor]

Not in my experience.

[@Taldoz]

Imagine an entire wall made of nothing but gates

[@testi2025]

Could you have intentionally open path that has towers behind walls, like a kill box?

[@CharliePryor]

This isn’t like Rimworld where pods will ignore your defenses and navigate to the path of least resistance. Here, they’ll destroy your stuff to get to you in a straight line, unless you find a way to distract them or pull them somewhere (like I do with the cars). Even then, they’ll still attack a wall they are close to.

[@ravenlore6745]

put a squads in the empty houses procting the wall and gates never have them fightin on foot outide

[@saisonblue]

good job. that what i meen on vid 1, on my question, you saw as i did.

[@Tsuna_II]

When placing a gate, press Z/X to rotate before placing it. Says at the bottom in the instructions

[@CharliePryor]

Yup

[@Brooke-bc2iq]

Just finished the episode that came out three hours ago, going to finish this one too all in one sitting. Nice video man!

[@CharliePryor]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@clairejenkins2834]

Is there a way to uncover more of the zone like the white parts on the map

[@Snowyscales]

oh. i kinda thought the giant swarm was lured to you *by* the military

[@charlesingram9471]

According to general chat in the official discord, attacks wern't coded into the game yet (prior to the latest patch)

[@shaneglasgow6267]

For the ice , would the off road option allow you to drive on the frozen lakes ?

[@juneangel7221]

Is this game only pc ? Can i get it for xbox?

[@williamkidgell]

It lits says rotate buttons on the bottom right... but i had the same issues. But use the rotate keys. Way easier

[@voltanaares2408]

Quick question. When you place a gate between buildings why do you bother with walls to close the gap? if a hoard is shoot they will engage the gate anyway . So why bother with the wall in the early stage with low pop? For estatics later in the game sure , totaly on your side . But in early game just placing defence gates sould be fine for hoards and raiders , right?

[@CharliePryor]

Hordes have a bit of a Hierarchy they want to attsck, and it’s not always what you want them to. Let’s say, hypothetically, they are attacking the gate, and I have a squad on the other side on the ground shooting them too. It’s completely within their coding to stop attacking the gate, and go after the easier target they can see (the people on the ground. The walls stop them from doing that and cost me a mere 1-3 bricks in most cases. Easy.

[@voltanaares2408]

@@CharliePryor ok good point . thx

[@Smokey0284]

You should've brought the dude 2 loads of food to see what happens.

[@CharliePryor]

Did it last playlist just to show it.

[@Smokey0284]

@CharliePryor you brought 1 load then he asked for more and you went in with guns.

[@bradleyc543]

can't wait to play this

[@-scorpion-3485]

the military event didnt function before newest update, they wouldnt have come to claim the resources, the event triggered, but nothing more

[@CharliePryor]

Well that’s disappointing. I like our story better. ;)

[@saptor7641]

Cool another Episode 🎉

[@bradley7674]

Any way to use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit for the temp?

[@CharliePryor]

Yeah the option is in the settings.

[@ErmikGamesCZ]

The pepole in the cars can shoot too

[@CharliePryor]

Correct. That's why they are in there

[@videos30s]

big fan ya brother, keep going :)

[@terrymckerral4104]

Luv'n it!

[@charonnisis]

Looks like fun

[@Cody.mcdougal]

You live stream this at all? I’d be interested

[@CharliePryor]

Haven’t been able to live stream for a few months now. My daughter makes “consistency” impossible.

[@realSarge]

ooo ep2 already

[@Elwirfy]

Wait... You can only have 6 squads? Why on earth is there a squad limit if you can have 100+ people?

[@CharliePryor]

Balance. A lot of decisions in games relate to balance.

[@Elwirfy]

@@CharliePryor I know but... Don't the hordes get bigger? I would think that if you can't scale yourself then we'd eventually hit a unclimbable wall?

[@CharliePryor]

@@Elwirfy that’s what base defenses are for. Colonists in towers and gates shooting too.

[@Elwirfy]

@@CharliePryor I see, so the game isn't like a clear the map endgame, is there an endgame?

[@SchwarzerWolf1000]

so funny lol

[@connor.2.1]

Impossible to have enough food, even on easy I have 110 people and can only deploy 5 squads impossible to bring enough food back to keep them going and I had 10 farms

[@CharliePryor]

Sounds like you aren’t: 1) using fertilizer for your farms 2) managing barns to produce chicken, and fertilizer 3) using a cookhouse with meat, from the chicken. Should be able to feed a lot of people with ten farms.

[@connor.2.1]

Will retry and see how that goes Thankyou

[@MohammadRz_]

EP 2 already 😩😩😩

[@rileyragnick9008]

You do Know that you can't build new buildings right?!? Just adapt the ones that already exist in the game, so everytime you destroy a building specially the ones close to your HQ you're lowering your productivity, since they have to go further out. If you need to destroy buildings which I find useless really do ones that aren't closest to your HQ

[@CharliePryor]

I like my line of sight not to be obstructed right next to the area I’m shooting. Pretty confident I know what I’m doing. Have fun in your game though.

[@Fjleon7]

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN SEND SQUAD TO YOUR CLAIM BUILDING AND USE IT LIKE TOWERS THEY CAN SHOOT FROM THERE TAKING NO RISK

[@CharliePryor]

Claimed buildings have a quarter of the HP that HQ does. It makes very little sense to promote them attacking it

[@Fjleon7]

@@CharliePryor They wont attack the building because you are kiting with the car and you will have more range and stop kiting with a full squad inside the car they never shoot because or you are in pause or car is moving or out of rage kite with one citiz and no weapons and you can forme another squad with guns and kill faster

[@RobinPortnoff]

Don''t events have randomized outcome? Ugh... Big turn off.

[@bugoledussy]

nah that camera thing would annoy me so much
