Ultimate goal of zombie fortress?

What is the ultimate goal of a zombie fortress match? Surviving x days is ok but are there any purpose to go underground? Is there a huge altar with a necromancer boss or something like that?

 

Nope, strictly bragging rights for ZF mode.

 

Well and to get alot of gold for your fortress which is invincable to everything except wraiths exploding near it

And to also destroy zombie spawners (if their is one)

 

The main goal in zombie fortress is to survive for as long as you can.

 

To play until the zombies derp and stop spawning.

 

Well i stop playing after they dont spawn it really gets boring

 

This exactly. I quit after they stop. (Doesn't happen on hard servers though! They never stop on those.)

 

The OBVIOUS and real goal is to find a portal as quickly as humanly possible in order to screw everyone on the server.

 

MOTHER OF GOD, I'VE BEATEN IT THOUSANDS OF TIMES , HOW DID I NOT NOTICE?

 

Number 3 goal, to see a migrant fly,

Number 2 goal, "Herro",

Number 1 goal, to hear a migrant scream when it can't climb a ledge 2 blocks high.

 

acctualy its three blocks high, the more you know

 

ZF servers not having a clear goal never bothered me just like Minecraft doesn't need a goal. Now that you've mentioned it though I feel like ZF mode needs to have some real goal. Purhaps diamond should be added and you can make diamond armor and then a portal to another realm, lets call it the End, and then you fight a zombie dragon...

 

I'd quite like it if you could mod it so a limited proportion of people could be on the zombie team and could play some of the beefier zombies ala left for dead, and maybe have some input of portals and have some system for choosing where zombies spawned and what kind and whatever, then give the human team the objective of obviously wiping out the zombie horde, so the whole thing had more of a deathmatch feel. No matter how much better the AI might end up been there's still certain buildings that make zombies totally useless, and a bit of human influence would make the whole thing alot more challenging.

Even if there wasn't a game winning for the humans, having actual players dictate what the zombies do to some extent would make it alot more fun anyway.

 

the ZF its too easy on multiplayer, need more zombies bosses, and another "totem"

 

The fuck is a totem?

I came up with an end goal for Zombie Fortress MP, and with enough cooperation and someone handy enough to keep score, it will give you something to work toward and gives gold a use for a change!

You could actually implent that when the easier modding stuff comes out.

 

Too much Minecraft :D
