How the AI generates extremely large swarms in the latest version of Infection Free Zone - Part 1

(New Insane Difficulty) (All setting to max, no cheats / no reloading) (written commentary provided)

This series of videos will be focusing on the known factors that influence extremely large swarm generation and then the requirements for destroying them. This video series also features the Japanese Self Defence Force Hospital as an ideal starting location (for an adapted HQ).

Prior to v0.24.7.31 7 horde size (and by association swarm size) depended on the following factors:
1. Hordes difficulty setting at the beginning of the game.
2. Your progress and losses.
3. Amount of buildings on the map.

After v0.24.7.31.7 horde size factors were changed to the following:
The amount of hordes, immigrants, and bandits that we encounter will now be affected by the total volume of the buildings on the map, rather than the total number of buildings on the map.

After v0.24.8.21 15 this was further refined as followings:
The number of the infected in swarms has been adjusted to be even more dependent on the "hordes number" setting in the game customization.

The one thing that the developers never gave us in any of the updates is which cities to now go to in order to find and destroy the largest possible swarms. Hence why I decided to make these series of videos. Some of the maps that will be shown are so large that my previous computer was not even capable of loading them.

この一連のビデオでは、非常に大規模な群れの生成に影響を与える既知の要因と、それらを破壊するための要件に焦点を当てます。このビデオシリーズでは、日本の自衛隊病院も理想的な出発点として取り上げられています(適応されたHQの場合)。

v0.24.7.31 より前の 7 の大群のサイズ (および関連付けの群れのサイズ) は、次の要因に依存していました。
1.ゲーム開始時の大群の難易度設定。
2. お客様の進行と損失。
3.マップ上の建物の数。

v0.24.7.31.7 以降、大群のサイズ係数は次のように変更されました。
遭遇する大群、移民、盗賊の数は、マップ上の建物の総数ではなく、マップ上の建物の総数によって影響を受けるようになります。

v0.24.8.21 15以降、これは次のようにさらに洗練されました。
群れの感染者数は、ゲームのカスタマイズの「大群数」設定により、さらに依存するように調整されました。

開発者がどのアップデートでも教えてくれなかったことの1つは、可能な限り最大の群れを見つけて破壊するために、どの都市に行くべきかということです。だから、私はこれらのビデオシリーズを作ることに決めたのです。表示されるマップの一部は非常に大きいため、以前のコンピューターではそれらを読み込むことさえできませんでした。

About the game:
“The Mad Virus” has spread throughout the world with the speed of jet planes. The infected are highly aggressive, fast and strong.
In a couple of weeks, society collapsed. Cities are empty. There is no electricity, no water, and no food. Yet, there are a few survivors...
Type in the name of the city or town, download the map and start playing! Thanks to OpenStreetMap’s real-world data you can choose any place in the world for your survivors
Establish a new “Infection Free Zone” wherever you choose. Set up shelters and production facilities. Adapt existing buildings to new needs. Build new farms and power houses. Establish defenses with walls, gates, and towers.
Utilize your knowledge of the city. What is the best place to defend? Where were the grocery stores, where were the pharmacies? Where would you look for weapons?
Remember that it’s dangerous to search the old buildings, there might be some infected lurking in the dark!
Each night your settlement might be attacked by large hordes of the infected. Fight them off with every tool available - melee and ranged weapons, vehicles, walls and light. Research a vaccine or a cure for ultimate victory, or just enjoy rebuilding entire cities!
Your Zone is not the only one that exists. Your survivors will surely find other surviving groups. Some will be friendly and willing to trade, but others will be extremely hostile. There might be some fighting involved!
