    Playing as any of the Human Factions, you will need to seriously help the Other AI Human Factions. Otherwise the Zombies will capture them and gain more power.
    Please read the top list of additions and adjustments in the Game Update List included in the Download File.
    Also consult the Civilopedia.

    You may experience what seems like a slow or quiet period anywhere around turn 20 through turn 30+. This is due to the Zombies spread out fighting all Human Factions as well as building their Improvements.
    So don't be fooled into thinking it will all be too easy. Go for all you can because there will be Major Hordes to deal with.

    Because there will be many Zombie Units to deal with, you should gain at least 50 Great Leaders that you can Upgrade to Champions by the end of the game.

    The Zombies will have you spread out all over the Map, helping the other Human Factions but eventually you will gain Great Power.
    I am sure everyone will like the Annihilator Armed that now can Move/Shoot 50 times.

    Very Important to be in a Good Position by the Omega, Turn 112.

    Just to mention a few additions:
    The Steam Road Roller at City Utilities, can be Upgraded when you gain Do It Yourself and build a Machine Shop there. It can transport 1 unit and repair Roads as well as Run Over Zombies :)
    The US Marshal awaits your rescue at the Penal Colony.
    The Cargo Truck in the Warehouse can be Upgraded and Transports 8 Units.
    Each Human Faction has an additional Starting Champion.

    Zombies have several New Units and will be more aggressive over all.

    Your decisions and how you play will Affect the AI Game Play, so in that sense you are programing your Game from what has been programed :)

    I recommend spreading out your Cars and Trucks so they are ready to use when needed such as taking a Great Leader to a Building that has a Machine Shop for immediate Upgrade to a Champion and also to be able to transport many Lethal Shooting Units where you need them fast. Line them up in a Chain so you can use each of them to Transport Units long distances.

    Keep your Population as Happy as you can with as much entertainment you can apply... "We Love the King" will greatly help you.
    I always sell the Security Cameras in each Building when I build the Security System at the Detective Agency. This will provide you a Few Thousand Supplies if you have Many Buildings.

    Other Tips to Help:
    When you want to Build an Improvement or Key Location, you can see how many Shields your Building makes each turn then divide the Shield Cost to Build the Key Location or Improvement with the number of shields the Building makes each turn. Then set the Building to Make a New Headquarters. Before the Headquarters Builds, change it to Build what you want.

    Due to the way the Turns are set up, when it is your Turn and the Advisor Pops Up, go to the Situation Advisor Screen. Navigate to the Building where you want to Immediately Build a Key Location or Upgrade a Unit and Spend the Supplies to build it immediately. Then when you get out of the Building, your Turn Starts and You will have it that Turn. I do this on many things such as Sewer Tunnels and Mike's Auto Shop, etc...

    This technique also works with the Annihilator Armed.

    Time Matters... plan and take action. By knowing what to expect, you can plan better.

    By the End Game on turn 121 Play Testing as the Survivors, I Captured 3 Farmer Buildings, 3 Company Building and 3 Authorities Buildings... All Dead. Yes, I planned and prepared for a couple of turns before.
    The reason for Capturing all 9 Faction Buildings was because they all had Mutual Protection Pacts and I did not want them to gain more power as they were basically guarded by the position of my Buildings from the Zombies. I make this point to state that you will have Great Power toward the end and Extreme Power at the end so when you are overwhelmed at certain times during your game, hang in there. Vengeance will be yours :)

    Is this "elite" in the sense of radically increased difficulty compared to earlier versions? Or is "elite" used in the sense of it being more like a "director's cut"?

    I have started my first ever Farmers game. At first I have planned to be an Evil Farmer and take Human buildings for myself, but ended up taking over Dog Pound and immediately getting in war with Zombies due to Sam Hammer. Oh well...

    You're playing as the Farmers without taking back Human buildings? That's not how to play 'em, ma boy.

    I started a game... as the Authorities. Did a great job, very intense and fun. Only on the first few turns, the onslaught of zombies hasn't hit yet, so I feel confident, but it probably won't last long!
