I did it! Sure, it took 40 days. But I have finally cleared the last remnants of the siege! The LMOE shelter is mine!
The final push was a dawn raid. It finished at 3pm.
Final results of the siege:
Over 1000 kills (my kill count is 1462, but there were some kills I made from stragglers in the city to the east. Also, I don’t think fire deaths count, and there were at least 100 of them)
Attack launched at 8am, with a reinforced z-hander (can’t spell it), reinforced ornamental plate armor, a reinforced kabuto (japanese head armor), kevlar boots, light leather gloves, miscellaneous undergarments, 2 pipe bombs, and 2 molotovs, and tons of medication.
My vehicle was the killer bike, a minimilist completely home-made bicycle with a headlight, solar panels, and a tiny battery. Oh, and an M2 browning mounted at the front. It had 205 bullets.
Consumed both molotovs, one pipe bomb, and 120 bullets. Also consumed a first aid kit.
The final push left my ornamental plate armor dented (it took two hits every time I was in an acid pit), my socks torn, my right leg ‘yellow’, my right arm and left leg ‘light green’, and the rest of my body slightly injured.
What I learned:
Molotovs are pretty brutal, but are pretty hard to make (in terms of finding a supply of glass bottles)
The M2 browning doesn’t shoot 5 bullets a turn. It fires 5 bullets a burst, and up to 5 bursts a turn. Also it has reasonably low range, and poor accuracy at the edge of it’s range. It also prioritizes a skeleton over a shocker brute >.> Probably best for crowd control, rather than taking out large targets.
Being heavily armored is really useful against the ‘mundane’ zombies, but you don’t want to get surrounded. The z-sword doesn’t do the ‘wide strike’ very often, even at high skills
In combat, listening to MP3 keeps your focus at 40-50, instead of locked at 0-10.
And cool loot I got:
Tons and tons of food of varying preservability. Not that I need it. Wheat + quern + fungaloids = billions of biscuits, which allegedly are healthy!
Basic power armor! (Unfortunately, it is quite badly damaged, but I have the electronics skill to make my own UPS)
Tons of ammo and guns, of varying types
An advanced tailoring skill book!
And an integrated toolset CBM.
And more importantly, I can survive as long as I want now! There are no dangers roaming near my farm that could pose a major threat for me. I will have to seek out threats!
