Proposal: Clever Pun Involving "Brains"

Repeal rule number 11, Horde, and replace it with a new rule entitled The City:

The Hordes are shambling about in a city full of yuppies, angst-ridden teenagers, and other urbanites. Specifically, the Hordes are seeking the brains and limbs of the city dwellers in one area of the city at a time, as they can't stray far from the Overlord without losing the energy that binds them and keeps them from falling apart.

The population of the area (ie. the number of fresh Brains available) is listed in the GNDT under the Brains field of a Horde named "Humans," although it is not actually a Horde for the purposes of any rule. The population is initialized at 1000; whenever it reaches zero, it is reset to 1000, to symbolize the movement of the Hordes to a new area.

Once a day, a Horde may attempt to attack the Humans for their Brains. The Horde does this by posting a comment consisting of "Attack Humans: DICE:" to the GNDT. The result of the dice roll is subtracted from the Human population and added to the Horde's Brains.


This lays down a basic framework for a lovely zombie march through the city, while simultaneously opening the door for whatever else we come up with. Human retaliation and tactical nuclear strikes are a couple of ideas that spring off the top of my head.
