Hello dear zombie-lovers!
I'm coming back to you, to introduce a new gameplay part of Z-Collapse: Special units.
In addition to armed forces and refugees, other units will be at your disposal to allow you to go through this crisis. And even to take the upper hand on your neighboring countries. Those units will generally be available at the mid-game, when the player had previously secured a part of his population and ensured a relative resource supply. At this point, he can invest on those options that bring him more strategical possibilities.
The first of those has already been introduced: the ambulances. Sent in cities and refugees camps, they are used to lower the infestation level. A mandatory cure to don't watch anymore your population turning into zombies.

The second is the infestor. You heard right. By using technological research, you can learn to create your own infestor squads, that are totally under your control. You desperately need resources within the neighboring country, but it is too strong for you? You waited for too long for its collapse? So, give a hand to the fate by pushing your own infestors on its cities, and spread the disease there.

The third one is the agent. On the same style, he can destabilize other countries by spreading fake news and encouraging revolts. Send him on other countries' cities to make their panic to rise. And, as you already know, from panic are forming bandit groups.

And the last one is the hook. This brave unit can catch nearby hordes attention, that start to follow him rather that other units around. It only lasts a time, but this allows you to divert hordes from your vital structures. And even better, once hordes are following the hook, he can lead them on any other place (foreign countries, bandit camps, ...). The horde will then attack the designated place and destroy it... The perfect weapon for cunning players !
