Zombie Hoardz - Tower Defense

Hold the Pedestal against endless zombie waves: build traps and turrets, and raid the ruins past the border for loot.

A zombie tower defense pack for Forge 1.20.1. You start in a walled fort in a ruined wasteland. In its courtyard stands the **Pedestal**, the only thing the horde wants: every wave mob walks straight for it, not for you. Keep it standing.

### How a run works
- **You call the waves.** Sound the horn when you're ready. After each clear a timer starts, and when it runs out the next wave comes anyway, so use the gap to repair, restock and build.
- **Eight written waves, then no ceiling.** The first eight waves are hand-built. After that the hordes keep growing, and every tenth wave brings something worse.
- **Protect the Pedestal.** It has 300 health and a bar you can see from the walls. If it falls, the run is over.
- **The amulet and the border.** Craft the amulet for regeneration and damage resistance. While you carry it, the world border is a wall. Leave it on the Pedestal to head out into the ruined towns, cities and towers past the line, where loot stashes sit behind monster spawners. The further out, the better the haul.
- **Supply drops.** After every fifth wave a plane flies over and drops a crate. Look up, then follow the beam to where it lands.

### Defenses that grow with you
- **Early:** wooden stakes, stake walls, spike traps, and a Lure Block that pulls the horde where you want it.
- **SecurityCraft:** mines, claymores, Sentries, I.M.S. and electrified fences.
- **Powered:** Tesla Coils, Gun Turrets and Chemthrower Turrets from Immersive Engineering, run on a Flux Networks grid.
- **Heavy:** grenade and rocket turrets from Open Modular Turrets.
- **Guns:** TaCZ firearms for when the horde gets past the walls.

### Also in the pack
- A quest book that teaches as you go, in four acts that open as you survive longer, plus bounties and optional field tests.
- Loot bags from elite mobs, and loot stashes that are personal to each player.
- Your gear stays on your corpse when you die. Also waystones, backpacks and Refined Storage.
- Co-op: play with friends on a server or over LAN.

### Requirements
- Install through the CurseForge app. Allocate at least 6 GB of RAM.

The pack is built on the work of many mod authors; see the Relations tab for the full list. It also includes **Tower Defense Tweaks**, a small mod made for this pack.
