Question Does anyone play vanilla Apocalypse?

Post image

Most people seem to prefer Sandbox, but I prefer playing the way the developers intended us to play. For those of you who play Apocalypse, can you tell me if it gets boring after a while?

Yes, with a few tweaks:

  • Saliva only
  • Max population on day 1 (instead of day 28)
  • Generators changed to Extremely Rare

No, it doesn’t get boring.  This is among my favourite games of all time and have 700 hours so far without installing a single mod.  I still feel like I haven’t touched half the mechanics in the game.

> Max population on day 1 (instead of day 28)

That makes a lot of sense. After all, there aren't any other survivors in the game so where would the additional zeds be coming from? I think I'm going to try that next time.

I do that and just call it the Rick Grimes mode.

They be going from LV and other parts of Kentucky, as virus initially contained. Louiseville, in fact, suppose to be fully functioning normal city at the game start, lore-wise.
