Zombie Crime Squad Design Document

Introduction

In One Sentence

Liberal Crime Squad with Zombies

Abstract

Starting off with just you and your wits build an army to reclaim the city from Zombies (might be more than one type), bandits and cultists. Secure your safehouses with defences, train your men in the skills they will need to survive and stockpile an un-needed amount of guns on your way to victory. All in muthaf**king ASCII!

Note: Being able to go the zombies/cultists/any other added factions is a planned feature but not a primary goal.
