Where there is no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the Earth...
Introduction
The Land of the Dead takes place in the forests of Karth. 25 years after a deadly virus spread throughout the Human Lands, destroying all civilisations in its path. With only a few safe havens left in the lands, the Humans have bound together to survive the mindless zombies that wander the deep forests of Karth. In this dynamic 10 player Open World RPG, you choose what you want to do, who you shall be and whether or not you shall help your side, whether that be the Undead horde or the Human survivors, dominate the forests of Karth. Both sides have a Main Quest which can be followed together, and a huge array of small jobs and mini quests which can be completed to earn you gold, and aid your empire.
The Mindless Undead
Introduction
The virus spread quickly throughout the cramped human empire. Past on through bodily fluids, the virus altered the genetic code of its host, making them more aggressive and blood thirsty until the host died from suicide. It would then send an electrical jolt to the brain, reanimating it's core features. Devoid of emotions and thought, the Undead wander aimlessly searching for their next meal of flesh and brains.
However, the humans have joined together and a direct assault would be impossible as their is no leadership among the Undead. The concept of a Hive Mind is possible, and although it may take time, a sole Hive Queen of King may be implemented to unit the Undead and destroy the last Human City.
Resources
The Undead Horde use Human Flesh and Brains to fuel their armies. The collection of these materials should be left down to the Players, who then contribute them to the Undead Hive Mind, if created. This will allow the production of more Undead creatures and abominations, and also the ability to improve the Genetic altering of the virus to increase speed, armour and even unlock the forgotten power of magic.
PVP/PVE Fighting Tactics
The Human Survivors have guns. Lots of guns, however you can use this to your advantage. Because of their wide array of guns, they have invested in fire power instead of defence. The undead deal a lot of melee damage, and as the entire map is pretty much a forest, you can ambush them and stay out of the line of view, getting close easily and quickly however you must watch out as the military units carry flares which will allow them to detect you.
The war machines, which are hard to create but are very powerful, should be left to the stronger zombies who can take a lot of bullets before dying as the war machine will take a long time to be destroyed. Whilst keeping an eye out for Peacekeepers, the Human's only melee unit. They can take a lot of damage and deal a lot of meele damage too, however they are expensive to create so don't expect too many of them.
As a Virus carrier, you have the ability during the game to change your genetics in your chosen way to suit your playing style. You can become fast and stealthy, slow and strong or mystical. You can also delve into more then one style, being strong and fast (you won't be as fast or as strong if you choose just one spec).
The Human Survivors
It's been 25 years since virus crept into existence, and it's been 25 years of blood shed and tears. A vaccine was created for the virus, but it was too late as the majority of the population had already succumbed to the infection. Those who were clean were herded into small enclosed areas where they were leaded by the Military Forces, who had already received the vaccine before they were sent to cull the infected. One by one however, they were destroyed by the sheer mass of the Undead bodies that wandered the deep forests of Karth until only one main city and a small number of outposts survived. Unable to produce any more of the vaccine, the majority of the survivors can still fall ill to the virus which lies inside each and everyone of the Undead.
The only hope for the Humans is if they can restore a hierarchy and instil a King to command the forces and restore the broken Radar station on the other side of the Lake. With this, the King shall be able to communicated directly and unite all the scattered forces and finally wipe out the Undead horde that wanders the forests.
Resources
The humans need food to support their empire, and because of this Hunters, Fishermen and Scavengers are paid highly as it is a dangerous job. Contributing scavenged supplies, meat and fish to the empire will increase the King's gold and allow him to produce more infantry to cull the undead and reinforce the Cities defences. The land is filled with timber, which can be harvested by Wood Cutters for lumber which can be contributed to the City for the King to be able to build war machines, however the Forest is filled with Undead who lurk in the shadows, and so it is encouraged you have hired guards with you.
PVP/PVE Fighting Tactics
The humans rely on Guns, with only one meele unit (Peacekeeper). The Undead are fast and deal a lot of damage if they reach you, so because of this, and the lack of body armor, the Humans use rapid firing guns to destroy the Undead horde. The Humans biggest weakness however is the forests, for vision is limited and the Undead can ambush you easily. Because of this, Wood cutters are in great demand for destroying the forests and clearing a large open space for long-ranged firing.
Enemy Undead Players can be skimmed down into three classes, although they may have aspects from more then 1 class. The 3 classes are: Fast and Stealthy, Slow and Strong or Mystical.
The Fast and Stealthy are the most dangerous as they can reach you in no time at all, and will ambush you in the forests. Every soldier is given flares which light up the forest and will show the Undead.
The Slow and Strong are... well... slow and strong. They will eat a lot of your bullets but more at a very slow rate. Don't let them get near you or they will kill you in 1-3 hits. Just keep firing at them until they are down, but be warned. They may explode and spawn a lot of smaller, faster zombies to attack you.
The Mystical Zombies are the most powerful, the the rarest as they have such high requirements to become. They will use the Virus to infect their enemies, causing them to loose control and attack their allies. They can summon undead out of the gorund and resurrect the recently dead to fight for them. Be warned, they should be shot down as soon as possible.
