Hey Alan, I noticed the chainsaw does the same amount of damage as
attacks when an item such as a bat or broom handle is equipped.  Since
the chainsaw uses fuel, don't you think it should do more damage?  And
maybe it should only use 1 instead of 2 fuel per attack,.  I've also
got a suggestion, don't know if you would want to implement this, but
how about using craig's transform script to turn your people into
zombies when they die?  Instead of putting death in the at_zero flag
on health, use an effect that transforms the unit into a zombie.  It
could be a regular zombie or maybe a more powerful one; this would
encourage you to keep your survivors alive.  Although, this would then
need different healths for the survivors and zombies, otherwise
zombies would just become other zombies when you kill them.  So this
would probably be too much work to put in at this stage, but just
thought I'd mention it just in case you can think of an easier way to
implement it.
