Zombies, Friendly Fire Realism

October 25, 2022

The image is a frame from a video titled "They are Billions - Impossible Map 20 - 900% No pause." It displays gameplay from the strategy game "They are Billions." The scene is set on Day 36, Hour 20 in the game, and the player's units are engaged in a battle against zombie hordes. The screen shows a cluster of red indicators representing enemy units approaching from the north, while a group of green indicators represents the player's soldiers positioned defensively. The interface at the bottom highlights a "Soldier (Vet)" unit, describing it as "disciplined and versatile" with heavy armor and a submachine gun. The player appears to be managing resources and unit health, as indicated by numbers like 117/120 for the soldier's health and other statistics for resources. On-screen text notes that "A Sniper unit is now veteran," indicating progress or achievement within the game. The setting is a dark, eerie environment with muted colors, characteristic of post-apocalyptic themes. Structures, possibly defensive towers, are seen to the right, while the player seems to be strategizing to fend off the approaching threat. The interface elements and strategic gameplay indicate a complex, real-time strategy challenge typical of "They are Billions."

I want to see more games, which are realistic. Where if shots are fired, more friendly fire. Such as over here, friendly turret can kill ally troops by mistake. I think this is a good direction for realism. You end up with more no man's land game dynamics which I would argue is more realistic.
The video frame is from a gameplay video titled "They are Billions - Impossible Map 20 - 900% No pause," capturing a strategic moment within the game "They are Billions." The scene showcases a defensive setup against an approaching horde of enemies, indicated by the mass of red symbols on the right side of the screen. Central to the image is a fortified area with multiple green-lit structures and Great Ballista towers strategically placed to fend off the attack. The text box at the bottom provides information about a Great Ballista, describing its function as an attack tower that shoots large arrows at nearby enemies. In the upper left corner, a warning message states, "Our defenses are being attacked!" The gameplay interface includes various status indicators and resource counts at the bottom right, showing values for gold, wood, stone, iron, oil, and workers. The dark, moody lighting typical of the game creates an intense atmosphere, emphasizing the urgency of the player's defensive efforts. The map in the bottom left corner highlights player-controlled areas in green, juxtaposed against the impending red threat. This frame effectively illustrates the game's core mechanics of building and defending against overwhelming forces. - Title: "They are Billions - Impossible Map 20 - 900% No pause" - Captions / subtitles: "Our defenses are being attacked!"

I like zombie base building survival games.
``` The image is a screenshot from a YouTube video titled "¡MIRA! 😳👌Como yo hago agua fresca de coco 🥥🥥 para que salga CREMOSITA," hosted on the channel "CocinaConAdela." It features a person demonstrating how to make creamy coconut water. The scene is set in a modern kitchen with white cabinets and a light-colored backsplash. The individual is focusing on pouring or mixing ingredients into a container. The thumbnail and surrounding interface indicate it's a cooking tutorial, with related video thumbnails on the right. The person is wearing an apron with the design and text related to "Salvador," likely indicating a cultural or recipe theme. The video has over 689,000 views, suggesting its popularity. Captions are visible, displaying text in English, translating a part of the host's dialogue. The overall mood is educational and engaging, designed to instruct viewers on making a specific beverage.

I like this.
This image depicts a scene inside a car with a woman reading a book titled "The Prophet." The lighting is warm and casts an orange hue, suggesting it might be either early morning or late afternoon. The woman has short brown hair and is wearing glasses, which add an intellectual touch to her appearance. She is seated in the backseat of the car, and her seatbelt is visibly fastened across her chest. The background outside the car window is slightly blurred, indicating motion, with trees and a building passing by. The atmosphere inside the car feels introspective, enhanced by the subtitle "I was incapable of reading feelings," which suggests a theme of emotional disconnect or introspection. The woman appears focused and absorbed in her reading, contributing to a quiet, contemplative mood.
