* CarryABigStick: The top-tier melee weapons are all sorts and kinds of bludgeons, concluding with a railroad hammer, which out-damages everything else by a pretty large margin, but it takes extra AP and Strength to even swing it.



* CreepyBasement: Several of these on various maps.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowItTheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The game opens with ZombieApocalypse already ongoing. By the time your character wakes up from a coma, the complete collapse of any order has already happened, and it's getting only worse from there.

The time and resources spent on fixing the fence you will be re-building soon anyway are a considerable drain on early-game resources and your qualified workforce.

to:

* SleptThroughTheApocalypse: Played with. Doug and the Player.Player were unconscious during the worst part of it, but the world was already going down the drain before they had their plane crash.

* AntiHoarding: Fresh food spoils over time, even when refridgerator is running, so hauling back more than daily consumption is pointless. Various luxury items have different weight to them combined with varied value, so if their weight more than they provide, they are the first thing to be left behind (highlights include [=CDs=] and cutlery).
