Number Of Zombie VS Number Of Heroes - jlafan2001 - 10-27-2015 05:34 PM
I was thinking of running a scenario with 16 heroes. 8 from LNOE, 4 from GH and 4 from Hero Pack 1. 4 players will be playing with 4 heroes each. I was wanting to run the scenario with Zombie Horde (35) which will be 14 from the core game, 7 from GH, 7 purple and 7 black from the web store. I will either have one zombie player play them all or split them between two players. I will also be using 8 L-shaped tiles and a center tile. Is 35 zombies too much for 16 heroes?

If anything I might say 35 is not enough. The necessary balance is in the cards though - typically Event cards, Scenario Search Items and Weapons - vs - the number or Zombie cards available in a round. With 16 Heroes potentially drawing cards during a round versus the Zombie hand limited to 3 or 4 the weight of the card effects will quickly stack up against the Zombies.

I didn't think of that. Do you think that 3 or 4 zombie players would balance things out a bit? Perhaps one zombie player for every four heroes?
RE: Number Of Zombie VS Number Of Heroes - ATOEtalGeek - 10-27-2015 07:25 PM
Yes, it would. You have to keep the balance in the available cards somehow, as well as the ratio of zombies.

I will use all the cards from LNOE, GH and the hero pack. I can keep the zombie player's card hand to 4 cards each instead of narrowing it down to 2. Do you think that would balance it a bit more?

Go for it. It will be an apocalypse. Let us know how it goes. Maybe do a game report with photos.

Do it with 4 separate zombie players, each with his own "normal" limits (cards, zombies) and counts only his own for spawning new. Maybe stagger it ZP1, HP1 (with 4 heroes), ZP2, HP2 (with 4 heroes)...

Just curious, if you use all 16 survivors, what happens when a hero dies? I'm assuming they won't get replaced?
RE: Number Of Zombie VS Number Of Heroes - jlafan2001 - 11-02-2015 06:25 PM
A hero won't be replaced when it dies but it will still turn into a zombie hero regardless of the black zone. The player will still have three other heroes to control

I think the others have offered helpful advice on how to keep this balanced. I will just say that I think this sounds AWESOME! I wish I could be part of giving this a try. My gaming group isn't typically big enough to accommodate that many players all at once. At least not enough to make this manageable for both the Zombie and Hero side.
