The reason it seems overpowered is because it isn't being put in the right setups... It needs to be put with Doctors and Role killing roles. Zombies are overpowered without any opposition.

Overpowered, and stupid. town was going to win in a game, but then zombies infected the damn tree (which IMO shouldn't be allowed) and they wouldn't have won if the jailer could have jailed the zombie. Which was the plan.

Why does everyone like this role so much? It's way too overpowered, pretty much as soon as you know a Zombies in the game, they've won.

I disagree, they can have a hard time winning ESPECIALLY since they have to infect everyone in the game and it can be hard to tell who exactly has been infected and what not with Docs saving people and those that were infected being lynched by the town or killed by the Mafia. Plus Zombies die off pretty fast just like any other role while playing.

Needs to be heavily nerfed or outright removed. The only way to beat them is getting lucky with a doc/quack, in combination with killing off exisiting zombies during the same night/day period or gunsmith/mafia/lynch combinations, killing the infected and the zombies in one go.

FUCK YEAH! CONVERTION ROLE!

Wait they can talk to each other during the night? NOOOOOO! They should have had a meeting together but be mute! Now they're super cults!

But the lower one sucks! Sure you get a way to survive easier if town's up to you. But... you might end up shooting yourself with the virus just as well!
And even that aside, adding the random factor is just outright causing a game's status to change completely to, well, random factors.

How about this, similar to yours but less chance-based, and a less bland win condition, also not another killing role: Can bite someone to infect them every other night. During the following day the infected will occasionally say "BRAAINS". The following night they become a zombie. Zombies retain the powers and win conditions of their old roles, but can only use their power every other night instead of every night. Zombies are immune to night death (except by non-gunshot, such as werewolf), and spread the zombie virus if they visit anyone. Sided with the werewolves, and other future monster roles (needs moar vampire). Infected zombies do not count towards majority for win condition.

i say the virus can spread... say you infect a pr, the pr visits someone that person will be infected as well.. then wins if everyone is infected

i would like to see the top D: hopefully it is put in

Since Lucid's said the top one isn't happening, the second option is just a less-useful Killer (since it takes 2 nights for its shots to kill). We've already got Monk/Warlock being WAAY to similar, don't need any more D:

"- Wins if all living people are infected, not everyone has to be turned into a zombie." That is alien. ______________________________________________________ "- Wins if it can survive till the end of the game." That is Survivor.

Yeah that can be the winning condition, I agree it needs to be made.

I think the win condition should be if "all living people are infected" but that's just me.

Good role, needs making

Yes Zombies win if they outnumber the rest of the town/mafia.

Fun. Do they win as the masons and cults do?

We need zombies.

I don't think so, your Plague idea is good, but it would only apply to visiting roles. Zombies can apply to anyone except for Doctors, Quacks, and Survivors.

role 1455 is better :)
