Introduction
Zombies in Urban Strife are governed by a dual AI system unique to the game. The Horde AI moves entire groups of zombies in a single turn, eliminating the tedium of traditional TBS zombie games. Meanwhile, individual zombies react to their own sensors — sight, hearing, and nearby alerts — creating organic and unpredictable encounters.

Core Mechanics
The Horde AI system is the game's signature innovation. When a horde moves, every zombie in it takes their turn simultaneously, dramatically reducing combat time. Individual zombie AI means each zombie has its own detection range for sight and sound. Alert propagation causes zombies to call nearby zombies when they detect a threat. The Day 20 Atlanta Horde siege is the game's premier challenge event.
Advantages
Understanding zombie AI lets you manipulate detection and alerts to your advantage. Noise traps can lure hordes into kill zones. Stealth elimination prevents alert propagation. The Defense Tracker helps you prepare for siege events by tracking fortification and weapon readiness.
Challenges
The Day 20 siege is brutal if you are unprepared — without the radio operational, you may have no warning. Zombie crowds can overwhelm defensive positions through sheer numbers. Alert propagation means one careless shot can draw every zombie in the area to your position.
