Ooh, look, a birdie! 
Anyway, zombies with actually infecting bites may be too much for me to handle because I'm a noob, but I'LL PLAY IT ANYWAY!!!!

I suggest building a wall first off. That'll keep out all the zombies. And remember to make a 2 part gate house, so you can atom smash enemies who try to sneak in.

Remember, use your advantages! You have range on your side. Dig a ditch, make some fortifications, stand on a wall, etc. Just don't let them touch you, and you're good.

First Thing I ever do is try and build a wall asap, summit I learned from playing Genesis mod a lot ^_^

I learned it from Civilization II and III. So I had a head start 

Tbh i never actually built walls in Civ II and III untill late game ^_^. I normally just built Libraries and Granaries instead LOL

Time for my Next review ^_^

***ONGOING REVIEW OF FORGOTTEN REALMS (NOT A D&D MOD) BY NARHIRIL***

INITIAL REVIEW AND THOUGHTS

This mod has a different concept which I havent seen before in any other mod so far, in the ways of the whole Artifact weapons being a completely "new" weapon type. There are over 60 different weapon with the majority of them being only usable if made during a strange mood. Another cool thing about this mod is the Alchemic reactions that can occur, sometimes u can set fire to the whole map, if u mess up and are UNLUCKY. Lastly Narhiril has tweaked a lot of the weapons to allow dwarves to wield duel handed weapons, like they should, and also given them new ranged weapons.

 Other than these few things the mod is fairly similar in most regards to the majority of other mods, for example there are new Civilizations - different in each mod but still more civs - more plants, workshops, beasts and new materials to use.

Narhiril themselves (not sure whether they are male or female and I dont want to be sexist so a lot of the time I will say They, Them etc. instead ) seems to be a very kind person and busy as well. They have took a lot of time out of their lives to make this mod meet the demands of the public and please people. Narhiril Also seems to be constantly adding new things to the mod and adapting so that it performs better and "outshine" other mods, which is incredibly difficult in such a large market IMO.

I believe this mod has a very good future, especially if Narhiril gets a lot more feedback and a lot of ppl saying wat they would like of the mod. Me personally I would like castes, but am a sucker for castes , mainly because I think that dwarves SHOULD have a caste system always.

So wat do I have to say about this mod? Well it is very well looked after, pretty extensive and seems to be pretty well developed, considering Narhiril has taken time to even write lore behind all of the civilizations ^_^. I really enjoy this mod, it is missing some things and I havent played it much to give a complete review, but with wat I have read and seen it is pretty "fun" and tbh not the most difficult out there atm.

Ratings
Originality - 8/10 - A huge amount of original ideas in the form of new weapons and Alchemy and weapon usage but other than that similar to other mods

Modders Involvement - 9/10 - Narhiril seems to be consistently on the mod forums looking for new ways to improve the mod and what ppl would like and asking questions etc.
Modders Perceived Kindness - 9/10 - Very happy to allow ppl to ask them any questions and will happily answer any questions and will gladly allow ppl to LP their mod ^_^
Integration of Ideas - 8/10 - The whole concept of the mod is very well integrated into DF and works well with DF, but I am sure there are many other things narhiril would like to introduce into this mod
Difficulty - N/A - I do not know how hard this mod is as of yet, there hasnt been much talk on the Thread about this subject either
Overall - 8/10 - Overall I think this mod has a very Bright future and I will be playing this very often ^_^

Lol Dude I aint all that great at the game either but I am REALLy looking forward to this, specially since I <3 and </3 Zombies at the same time

OoooOOoooOOO I cant wait for the Infected to be able to "infect" others

Thanks you 2 ^_^ It is very much appreciated. It was actually Deon's Idea for me to do the whole Review thing and post it onto here. I was already doing the whole Mods thing but was gonna do it for youtube and not for bay12forums. So thank him for it ^_^

DUDE looking forward to this mod . Please let me be the first person to LP/First look it?

I know how active u were in the DFA thread and I know u helped Kipi out a lot. So I can see this mod being very well made, if u can make it.

So far I have read the first few lines and the IMMENSE dwarven Caste system really makes me giggity ^_^ I love castes and believe they should be introduced into all mods heehee
