My thinking about this problem was such, takt i am a commander of small group of soldiers and have to save some civillians, wait with them for the help, for example bigger troops, which can pick us up and take far away from here.
And best place for waiting i could imagine is - garage.Off course there are places which are smaller, with only one entrance, so you can defend them much more better, but as you said, it is borring. I didn't beat it yet, but i am in the 25th round and i have not many dead charracters and i still have some ammo, so i thing i'll beat it.

Hi Petr, Really? You beat the game useing the garage? I always thought of the garage as a death trap, lol. I am constantly surprised to find players finding new solutions to things I thought was impossible, so that is great!I like to try to hide out in the den. There is only one entrance and it is easily defended, although I was thinking my poor zombies might need a little help...al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Petr Bláha To: ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 2:38 PM Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: The new Player Okay, with doors, it just needs practice, no problem. I play TB actually for one day, so i can't thing that i am great familliar with it. Have to learn a lot - smiles. That problem i described bellow is annoing a bit, but on the other hand game is playable, so that's not such a urgent problem which should be solved in hours or so. My strategy in playing this map is that i put all my characters in to the garage while civillians are hydden and soldiers protect them and themselves offcourse. Maybee it is quite borring way of playing it, but with my actual experience it is only way how to beat it. When more experienced i would probably send soldiers around the house as an attack unit against all the zombies they will meet with,. But that's very pretty you can try many ways how to successfully finnish this kind of maps and i guess that more than one can be succeeded. Dne 5.4.2013 19:49, Allan Thompson napsal(a): > Hi Petr, > Yes, I did notice that. Essentially what happens is that the AI is looking for a place to stick a zombie, but for some reason it is trying to do it in a space that isn't considered available, or from what I culd figure. I don't know how to fix it, only Ian really knows what is going on with it, but hopefully it doesn't ruin the game play too much. > > The doors are tricky if unfamiliar with them. Essentially what you do, just for the sake of clarity, is that you use the actuate skill on the door. > The door has a kinetic point from that, which allows it to move. > Now the trick is seeing where to put the door. Some doors are considered closed, blocking the room behind it. This is most notable with the bathroom door and the back bedroom door. > If you hit the player unit cycle button, and get to jonny who is in the bathroom, , you can tell the door is closing him off from the rest of the house. So you do the skills I mentioned above, and all you need to do is move the door to the left or right along the wall. > There is another , more realistic way to do doors using terrain, but the problem with the terrain doors is that they cannot be busted down by hungry zombies, and so you would just sit in the house killing zombies trying to enter thru the one entrance, and that is no fun...or maybe it is, lol. > > So essentially you have to make sure the door is either blocking or considered open. For instance, the garage doors are a good example. Both are wide open, and they can be closed to block the garage off from the onrushing brain eating zombie horde. > > I hope I explained that accurately for you.

That was a tough one to do.
