Zombie Invasion - A possible bug?

Postby Herargon » Fri Oct 30, 2015 1:21 pm

Hi,

This is strange. In the Zombie Control part of the screen, when I attempt to push a few times on the 'Research Cure' button, the 'infected' numbers go down, but after a few times pushing on it, it goes up again. The same happens when I press on 'Exterminate Zombies'. I also see this effect in the 'People' I have; the numbers go up or down.
I haven't tested whether this is also the case with 'Embrace Zombies' yet, because I don't want my nation to get overflowed with zombies.

Could it be a bug?

It's all part of oh the game I think. You have only just started researching. It won't work instantly. The cure isn't effective enough, or widespread enough, yet to outweigh the infection rates. It's a stalemate. When you find a cure, which will be after X amount of time, based on how many of your region mates are researching cures. When you find a cure, it will go down rapidly.

This is what I think. It may not be fact.

In past years, it's taken at least an hour (maybe a few hours ... I forget) to actually have your cure missiles, etc., ready for use. In the meantime, your zombie population may fluctuate. And expect to see your zombie population jump up every hour or so, if memory serves.

Tried it three times what you said, Liberty and Alderney.

1, 2, and 3 represent the 'People', while 4, 5, and 6 represent 'Infected'.

1) 3,012,189,709

4 ) 260,901,856



2) 3,012,303,171

5) 261,167.739



3) 3,012,328,814

6) 260,980,905


1 – 2 = -113,462

2 - 3 = -25 643

1 – 3 = -139105

------

4 – 5 = -265883

5 – 6 = 186834

4 – 6 = -79049

Ah, okay thanks. Note noted. I will be more patient now :p
So, at the very beginning of most Z-Days, after an option has been selected, it could take a short while before you're ready to really use what you chose.

I believe that you're seeing the margin of error from your nation's pollsters rather than any actual change. And of course, don't forget that pollsters and news readers get infected too. Not really a reliable source.

Yeah, things (historically) have updated every "hour." i.e. now that it's been an hour since I selected "cure," my cure missiles are 68.2% developed, but I also had more of my people become zombies since the first hour.

Also, in the past, cure missiles "upgraded" throughout Z-Day, so your weapons gained more potency as Z-Day progressed. You'll see "levels" on the Zombie Control page as well.

The fluctuation is indeed part of the zombie infection estimator. When your nation is in chaos as people flee, combat zombies, or just run around their backyards with arms flailing (you know who you are...) don't count on highly accurate numbers.

Can I post a further report here?
On the pages of my neighbor nations, when I fire cure missiles at them I expect to see a timer showing me how long until the missile can be fired again, as such:
Kxcd is currently researching a cure.

CURE MISSILE FIRED

Superweapon ready in:
CURE MISSILE


After "Superweapon ready in:" there isn't a timer for how long until I can fire again.
Is there any reason for this?

to represent the interests of humankind to the other governments of the Galaxy;
to facilitate the perpetuation of the unity of human civilization and infrastructure between otherwise self-governing colonies;
and to promote technological advancement and scientific discovery for the perpetuation and expansion of the unity and empowerment of all human beings.
