Changes: Farm House

Revision as of 20:44, 9 September 2019

The typical farmhouse is a solitary building, often surrounded by fields of crops or livestock, and relatively far from major population centers. Some farms do have high fences built around the perimeter. Also farmhouses with a large open surrounding area can be a snipers dream location. A farmhouse can be secured with relative ease and often with a great deal of discretion (important if the people securing the building do not wish to attract other survivors).

A farmhouse, if properly constructed and secured, can be a viable alternative to venturing into a town or village hoping to find a secure building. For farmhouses near wooded areas or areas with rolling terrain, these areas provide their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Proceed with caution.

The disadvantage is that crops surround the farmhouse, and zombies can sneak up to the house without being seen. Makes sure to However, this could be an advantage as zombies might have a hard time cutting through the grass.

-The typical farmhouse is a solitary building, often surrounded by fields of crops or livestock, and relatively far from major population centers. As such, a farmhouse can be secured with relative ease and often with a great deal of discretion (important if the people securing the building do not wish to attract other survivors). Concerns regarding the farmhouse as a base include the distance from any other hiding places, the lack of a proper perimeter fence, the open nature of the terrain (which allows ghouls to spot any movement in the upper windows from a long distance away) and the lack of supplies readily available within walking distance. Thus a farmhouse, if properly constructed and secured, can be a viable alternative to venturing into a town or village hoping to find a secure building.
