[JamesKer1]

Concise description:

• Zombie Spoils Medal

Specifics/Details:

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• Seriously, how cool would this be? A medal featuring zombies?

They already exist, but not many have been handed out and announce dpublicly.

It seems like we're holding off on more medals for some gameplay types. There was no medal for Parachute Reinforcements. There aren't any medals for Flat Rate or Escalating. I would say no, even though I love medals, but I don't have that strong an opinion on it.

They do. PM me if you need examples, this isn't the thread for that.

Chap- from my understanding, flat rate and escu are "standard" settings, just like sunny, no trench, etc. that's why there aren't medals for those... But I agree, para and zombie and everything other non standard setting should have a medal, would be awesome to roll those out with this one.

I disagree here. I'm generally in favor of more medals when they have a clear purpose, but I think that there are a couple of justifications for limiting the medals based on spoils settings as is the case here.

I agree with the idea that "standard" gameplay options are sufficiently covered by the standard medal. This includes, for me, all spoils (and "no spoils) except for zombie and nuke. These standard settings are not that far removed from the old board game, and don't really represent the diverse types of gameplay on this site, so I don't mind that additional medals are not issued.

HOWEVER, zombie spoils are different. BUT they are so similar to nuke that I don't think that a new medal is necessary.

I would propose a wholly different solution that really should be subject of its own suggestion:

Zombie spoils should be bundled with nuke spoils when awarding medals. The gameplay is largely similar, so I don't think that this is really all that extreme of a suggestion, although I sense that some people may be adamantly opposed to this idea. I also think that since the concept of nukes and zombies are serendipitously at least somewhat related, the nuke medal could be redesigned to visually incorporate both ideas.

Anyone who wants to post this as a separate suggestion, feel free, as I'm not sure if/when I'd get around to it.

Not true. I have had many suggestions implemented and have seen no medals. I'd like to see these examples.

Get out of my brain. I actually think this is a great idea for Zombies.

I feel too lazy to have to settle another gameplay objective when there is so much medal hunt left. There has been way too many new medals in 2013, let s give it a break!

I would like to voice my support for a zombie medal. I have found playing zombie to be quite different from nuclear for a couple of reasons. Nuking a region devastates it while zombifying a region actually strengthens it because players are less likely to attack a neutral stack. It's also more difficult to regain your bonus if a large stack is zombified within your bonus. A medal would encourage more players to try zombie and it would be a cool medal.

Yeah we need a zombie medal or else the many games Ive played with that terrible gameplay are in vain....

[iAmCaffeine]

If anything a new medal should be designed to incorporate nuclear and zombie. The differences aren't enough to warrant separate medals.

Exactly. In the meantime, zombie wins should count toward the existing nuke medal (if they haven't done that yet).
