The zombies have a group-combine algorythm just to keep the overhead down; one NPC can be up to 80 zombies, and while the theoretical limit is much higher when you go more than about 80 it just looks silly. There are already a few different types, I just can never remember what numbers I assigned them - but there are fast ones as well as the swarmers, and there will be Boss Zombies that have unique powers and are harder to kill but spawn much slower; Granfaloon (nickname) is a giant zombie made up of lots of regular zombies, can absorb other zombies to heal itself, and can throw its component zombies for an instant grapple, allowing it to cross impassable terrain; there will also be an infilitrator mage and a nearly unkillable engineer. Exploring the ruins of the city is a fair way to gather supplies, but unlike Classic it's not the focus; every moment you're exploring is another moment outside the safety of the walls, and when you die, you're dead. Granted, you immediately spawn a Next of Kin and inherit your predecessor's weapons, and your Next of Kin probably looks just like you and has the same name, but still - your former self has become a zombie!
