Problem is we don\\\'t really see the city/town at all so we can\\\'t count on that. As far as we know, Canterlot High could be in the middle of a metropolis or an unincorporated town, or even just out in the country. We don\\\'t see the surrounding area, so we know nothing about the surrounding area.
We\\\'ve seen the size of Canterlot, and plus we\\\'ve seen that there are TONS of guards in it during A Canterlot wedding. (And before you bring up the changelings, you have to remember: The Changelings did have a significant numerical advantage of at least 3-1 at the very lowest (though possibly more like 5-1), and had the time to gather their army (more on that below) and on top of that the changelings were not mindless zombies with no real form of attack, they were actually semi-competent soldiers that were most likely trained and groomed for this exact thing. And that had both wings and magic to boot, along with the ability to use both proficiently.) Same goes with the Crystal Empire (which is HUGE, virtually a city-state.)

Again, as I said when I debunked the \
to:
Plus her implication to twilight is that she plans to invade immediately rather than gather up more soldiers first. (Which, ironically makes sense, since she\\\'s first of all on a strict time limit. I mean, there\\\'s only so many zombies you can make, march to the portal (on foot no less), and then file through the portal 1-3 people at a time before the clock runs out and you\\\'re stuck on the CLH side for another 2.5 years. Good luck not attracting the attention of the military during that time.
And speaking of which that\\\'s another problem with the whole \\\"Zombify the city\\\" thing: It\\\'s basically an open invite for the military to take you down. Yes you might be able to get away with zombifying a single school with no one noticing (if you leave right away). But a whole city? not so much. And yes, your magic might be able to help you in a firefight... at close range if you can see them coming. But on the other hand, get a sniper several miles away with a Barrett or a anti-air missile flying at you at mach 4 and odds are that crown won\\\'t help you much.) And call it guessing, but somehow I doubt turning into a demon-girl makes you bulletproof. Let alone missile proof. Let alone nuke proof (which is what it usually comes to during \\\"zombie invasions\\\")
@Peteman:
Again, as I said when I debunked the \\\"She has her own Celestia and Luna\\\" argument: zombies are zombies. In that state of (lack of) mind there is very little difference between a unicorn, an earth pony, and a pegasus. A slow shuffling zombie is a slow shuffling zombie.
And on top of that it does not really factor in the possibility that since equestria is more exposed to magic, ponies will have a higher resistance to these sorts of things (especially unicorns, and ESPECIALLY the more powerful ones.) and/or don\\\'t possess the means to reverse it.
On top of that, once you get your invasion in full swing, if you brainwash on-the-go pretty much all the attention will be focused on you rather than your minions, thus defeating the point.
