As the epidemic begins, you take refuge in a small house, well stocked with food and ammo. And they come...

The characters in The Walking Dead are actually all already infected, they just won't turn unless they die, it was a plot point in season 1. I think it said the virus is airborne.

]]> /zom/res/4656.html#4669 >I guess it surely takes time for the infection to spread to your brain,
You'll still be infected from the first moment you're bit.

Just because you're carrying a disease that is dormant/incubating doesn't mean you don't have it. The logic to it is like saying someone who is HIV positive isn't HIV positive until they have full blown AIDS.

Well, it's true that they were generally zealots, but they also didn't just up and decide to go slaughtering people in the middle east on a whim. It was initially a political move to distract rival Christian nations from each other by having the church wave a holy bone at them that evolved into a 200 year old grudge match.

Without a recognized church authority ordering the knights to go kill zombies, it's just as likely they would decide discretion is the better part of valor and hoof it. Considering how large a social rift existed between nobility and peasants, and how cheap they considered lives back then, it's unlikely a group of crusaders would even put the plight of civilians into consideration while figuring out what to do.

Marines, on the other hand, are practically guaranteed to engage zombies to protect civilians, even without direct orders from their chain of command.

> The group more likely to survive is the one that chooses to avoid zombies altogether. Crusaders might be a bit more cautious with the limited range of their weapons, while Marines might be less cautious thanks to the accuracy and range of their rifles.

I agree with the premise, but I'd actually use it to reach the opposite conclusion. The crusades were a holy war where the knights, believed they were empowered by their 'one true God', set out to destroy anything non-Christian because heathenism was an affront to God.

They thought people with dark skin who refer to their same dickshitting God as "Allah" and wrote a bible sequel were satanic abominations who must be purged from this world in the name of God and all His Glory. And if you die in battle, in his service, then it just means that you've an eternity in His kingdom of paradise, chilling in the garden and shooting heroin with Jesus.

You think these zealous twats wouldn't blindly charge into the first herd of zombies they see?

The marines, on the other hand, are trained to use tactical awareness to engage intelligently, and (generally) fight for the preservation and prosperity of their home country. And I'd imagine every single one of them knows that you can't do that when you're dead.

The only situation in this whole thread where I see the knights getting an edge is with the "musing the mission from God to rally locals into a massive army"--but that would only happen in 12th-century, on friendly ground. If they're on a crusade, the recruitment conversation would go a little differently.

"Hey, you, filthy heathen child. Where is the man of the household?"

"You killed him last Tuesday, Mr. Knight."

"Oh. Right. Is your mother fit enough to carry a spear?"

"She was, until your army raped her half to death."

"Oh yeah, right. Uhh, we're probably going to blame you for this zombie apocalypse thing and burn you later, but you wanna fight some zombies for a bit?"

Take the test and shut up; You'll understand (hopefully); Otherwise, well forgive me.

It asks you question about your blood, your condition, etc.

I guess it surely takes time for the infection to spread to your brain, etc, in average (depending where you have been bitten and all the conditions asked in the quizz)

Exactly my point. It's subjective and pretty irrelevant. Their strength is obviously more than enough for survival if they are strong enough for their military.

]]> /zom/res/4119.html#4664
I mean, really, a knight or marine can fend off a dozen people by waving a sharp object around not because of skill, but because people tend to avoid having sharp objects opening up new orifices in them. Replace those dozen people with healthy senses of self-preservation with zombies that are completely unimpressed by sword-waving? A knight may be able to cut down a couple more than a marine before being overwhelmed.

The group more likely to survive is the one that chooses to avoid zombies altogether. Crusaders might be a bit more cautious with the limited range of their weapons, while Marines might be less cautious thanks to the accuracy and range of their rifles.

>1. They're used to living off the land, foraging and hunting for instance. In other words, they don't need to raid stores... For anything.

>>4333

>3. Their physical strength is much higher than the marines.
>4. Close combat is on a completely different level than that of the marines. Swords, spears, axes etc, that a marine can SWING but not utilize to near its full potential like a crusader could.

I'll address these individually.

>They're used to living off the land

That's pretty subjective. While it's partially true, in the military you are trained to live off the land to an extent. How far depends on your branch and MOS. Chances are there are plenty of marines out there who hunt prior to enlisting, I know several in my area that do (since I live in the country). That could be shared knowledge if this ever happened. Marines are also trained to raid, so that would be an advantage in some scenarios.

>They don't rely on guns for protection
This has been addressed many times already. I also think long-range could be an advantage in some cases.

>Their physical strength is much higher than the marines.
Completely subjective. I think there are too many variables to say for this one. Strength isn't the only thing you can rely on though. Marines are trained for stamina/endurance... Swimming and running for distance, that has to account for something. There are also bulky/strong marines that I know though.

>Swords, spears, axes etc
This is related to your third. This is counting on the fact that everyone would be using these weapons specifically to survive, and that no one already knows this or could train these skills. In this case, it's not so the point falls short.
