Well um, I think the population signs are pretty cool, could tear them down for wood and nails and plastic maybe, I live in Sydney, Australia, and there are signs saying ‘here is X-ville’ but no population ones. Would just be an estimate using the number of houses and buildings etc. with a bit of noise like they use to make the city sizes, maybe that very same fuzz could be directly linked to the signs number, honestly I don’t care how it works, I just want it.
Don’t GPS systems work with satellites and other stuff that might not work since, well you know…
Hacking into police systems might be cool, especially if they were just connected to some sort of federal, military, whatever system which had info on every city, but locked the police out from everything but their town, and you could hack into it with a higher level to find out a, once again, ~number of the next cities population, but there would need to be like town names in the world gen, that would actually be pretty cool.
You guys just gave me another thought too, I might make a new thread for it, but what if most of a city was empty, and there was a football field in the middle of it with every zombie locked in because it could have made a good disaster plan, and there were terminals hooked up to the military or federal system of every person ever, and it could tell you how many were in there and if you could hack into it, check out the next cities population, using the same system as above. Kinda off topic, kinda still on topic.
I certainly think that the police terminals and population signs are great ideas though. Support.
