Lore: The infection, referred to in-universe as "The Blight" is an unknown disease with an incredibly high mortality rate--its origins are currently unknown. The Blight first appears in the late stages of the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812), as the war begins drawing to a close and Russian soldiers begin leaving the Caucasus, the Blight begins to appear in small controlled outbreaks amongst the ranks of Ottoman Janissaries and the Russian Army, although the outbreaks are able to be contained--these are attributed to other diseases, such as the Black Death, or Miasma. Following the burning of Moscow, thousands of corpses within the city are resurrected and begin to slowly wreck havoc across Europe. Sinners who have failed to accept Christ and repent for their sins, upon succumbing to the infection, re-animate. Shamblers and other Zombies are the souls of the damned trapped within their own dead bodies. Copenhagen's lore: With the Blight spreading across Europe, the Danish government ordered able-bodied citizens to join the army to fight against the undead. Despite these efforts, the blight reached the city, and the remnants of the army is forced to escape, all while the city was being bombarded and quarantined by the Royal Navy. Overview: Soldiers materialize throughout a barricaded apartment in the inner city, the very air trembling from the shriek and impact of Congreve rockets raining down upon Copenhagen. Upon arrival, they push past the barricades into a nearby alley—a scene of grim carnage littered with civilian corpses. Among the dead lie several infected, a set of wooden boards rigged to a rope pulley, and more shambling figures drawn by the sound. The unit must advance through this tight corridor to a locked gate leading into a flooded basement. The lock must be shattered, by rifle butt or bullet, granting access to the submerged cellar of a tavern. From there, they ascend to the tavern’s second floor, finding storage shelves, barrels, and a ragged opening in the wall fitted with a cargo hoist. One barrel is rolled to the lift, secured to the rope, and sent crashing down to the street below. The counterweight lifts a pile of wooden planks from the ground, which the team retrieves to construct a precarious bridge across to a neighboring apartment building. Their path leads through burning buildings and across crumbling rooftops. If the squad’s numbers have fallen below ten, they are forced onto an alternate, perilous route that allows for the early reintegration of fallen comrades—before they confront a blazing attic, blocked entirely by flame. The fire must be quenched. Soldiers equipped with water buckets battle the blaze directly, fending off attacks from shambling and sprinting infected. Those without buckets can find wooden pails and water pumps by descending a rope to the street, filling them, and hauling them back up to douse the flames. With the attic fire extinguished, the team traverses two more attics before breaching a large residential building by dropping through a broken ceiling tile. Descending the stairs, they plunge through a collapsed section of the stairwell into the building’s first-floor lobby. Here, they must hold their position for roughly sixty seconds against mounting pressure before they can break out into the main town square. Crossing the square, they find the central wooden bridge destroyed. As Shamblers, Runners, volatile Bombers, and electrically-charged Zappers assault their position, a soldier must snipe a gunpowder barrel spotted across the canal, next to an abandoned merchant vessel. The explosion ignites the vessel, severing its moorings and sending it drifting down the canal toward the broken bridge. Timing is critical: the team must leap onto the burning deck as it passes, then scramble to the far side of the breach before the ship clears the gap. On the other side, a small pier holds a moored Danish gunboat. The soldiers board and cast off the lines, setting the boat adrift. They must now defend their vessel as it moves, clearing the path ahead. A naval gun mounted at the bow is used to blast through a blockage in the canal, while swivel guns on each side repel infected attempting to claw their way aboard. Further on, the collapsed mast of a wrecked ship blocks the way, requiring precise fire from the naval gun to clear. The gunboat continues downstream until it passes under a bridge—and into the line of fire of a large Royal Navy brig-sloop enforcing the brutal quarantine of the city. The British warship immediately opens fire. To breach the quarantine and escape Copenhagen, the enemy vessel must be destroyed. The crew fights for their lives, serving the naval gun to pound the sloop with round shot, while precise rifle fire picks off sailors manning her broadside cannons to silence them. Once the warship is sufficiently shattered and begins to sink, the gunboat surges forward through the smoke - the quarantine broken, their escape secured. Zombies variants: 1) Shambler: Shamblers are the most frequently faced zombie, and the easiest to deal with. Shamblers attack The victim by attempting to grab onto them and feast on them. Shamblers come in a wide variety, including deceased soldiers, everyday citizens, and workers. These differences being solely cosmetic. Shamblers move in hordes, and will constantly close distance on soldiers. When a Shambler gets close enough to a victim, and a victim is able to be grabbed, the Shambler will grab victim and force victim into a struggle. and victim will be unable to move or use any items until victim pushes the zombie off of them. Victim can be saved from a struggle if another soldier (or zombie) damages or kills the attacking zombie. If a victim is grabbed by 2 or more Shamblers, or if a singular Shambler had grabbed them from behind, the Shamblers will begin to feast on victim, and victim will be unable to break free from the Shamblers themselves. While feasting upon a victim, Shamblers will deal 10 damage per second, and also apply 8% Infection per second (per Shambler), additionally applying the Bitten Debuff. Shamblers are one of the only zombies to be able to infect, besides the Runner and Viral Runner. If 4 or more Shamblers have grabbed a victim, the zombies will begin mauling the victim, and victim will be insta-killed and converted into a Viral Runner, Cuirassier Zombie, or Viral Zapper after 7.7 seconds. If a Shambler cannot grab Victim, the Shambler will instead attempt to punch victim, which will deal 10 damage per hit. And apply the Clawed Debuff. 2) Runner: Runners are one of the most common zombie-types, only falling short of the Shambler. Runners attack victim by tackling them and ripping their throat out. When a Runner spots a victim, they will immediately begin running after victim and will attempt to tackle them. When a victim is tackled, they will be unable to move or equip any items until the runner has been killed--unlike Shamblers, victim cannot push the Runner off of them by themselves--a teammate must assist. Runners blend into large hordes, only distinguishable by their glowing red eyes. They prove to be significantly more agile than other zombies, and use their agility in order to punish soldiers who find themselves split off from the main group. Their speed makes them difficult to hit with firearms, forcing a soldiers to resort to melee--where the Runner is within striking distance of soldiers. They tend to target making loud sounds as well, an example being the Musician’s Fife. If a victim is tackled, up to 2 additional Runners can join in, which will significantly speed up the insta-kill process. 3) Bomber: Bombers are one of the most commonly faced zombies, only falling short of the Shambler. Bombers will not directly attack soldiers, instead, Bombers will actively seek out the nearest victim--when human or building is within a short radius of the Bomber, the Bomber will begin its attack. The Bomber will ignite their barrel with the torch they are carrying, and drop it--which will make differentiating a Bomber from other Zombies harder, especially within a crowd. After 3.3 seconds, the barrel will detonate and any nearby peoples and/or buildings will be damaged or destroyed, based on how close they are to the origin of the explosion. Bombers wear one of two easily identifiable uniforms, either a red robe or a logistician uniform with a beige shirt and red vest. This--paired with the yellow lighting that emanates from their torch--makes the Barrel easily identifiable. 4) Zapper: The Zapper is an uncommon type of undead. They are heavy and slow moving,and have the second highest amount of health among zombie types after Cuirassier Zombie. However, they make up for their sluggishness with the ability to inflict massive damage to players. When a Zapper attacks, they raise their axe in the air and will lunge at victim, attempting to hit victim. When they successfully hit a victim, the attack will drain them for more than half their health and will apply the gash effect. When a victim gets killed by a Zapper's attack, victim falls backwards to the floor. When a Sapper dies and has 35% or more infection they will come back as a Viral zappers. 5) Igniter: Igniters will spawn as individual Zombies apart of a larger horde. Igniters stand out from standard Zombies with their distinctive yellow light, illuminating from their Lantern, and move faster than Shamblers. Igniters typically obscure themselves within hordes, and will maintain their distance from the players while they hold their Lantern. When an Igniter enters a 100 stud radius of a peoples, the Igniter will stop moving, wind up their arm and toss their Lantern at a nearby peoples, throwing it at a speed of 130 studs/second. When the Lantern strikes the ground, it will burst into flames, dealing heavy damage to Sapper constructions and burning peoples within the vicinity of the fire. Peoples who are burned by the fire will take damage, and who start burning to death will be afflicted with the Afterburn de-buff, which prevent them from fully healing for a short period of time. Igniters are immune to their own flames, however, other Zombies are not. If kill the Igniter before he throws the lantern, the fire from the dropped lantern deals more damage than when he throws it. Once the Igniter has thrown its Lantern, it will act as a standard Shambler, closing distance on the players; however, it will exclusively punch players as opposed to grabbing them like the Shambler. This punch will deal 10 damage per hit (same as the Shambler). However, it will not inflict the Clawed Debuff upon landing. Peoples can ignite the Lantern early by killing the Igniter before it throws the Lantern. If the Igniter is killed while wielding its Lantern, the immediate area surrounding the Igniter will burst into flames, and Zombies nearby will begin receiving fire damage. 6) Zuirassier: The Cuirassier Zombie is one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, zombie types, capable of rendering victim fully incapacitated and highly resistant to damage. The Cuirassier Zombie is capable of dueling with humans with several attack variations in close-combat: these being the Slash and the Thrust. The Cuirassier Zombie also sports several unique abilities that allow it to breach defenses and make way for other Zombies to pile on, acting as a significant threat to any defensive fortification. When the Cuirassier Zombie is between 30 - 85 studs from a peoples, and has both a clear path and line of sight, the Cuirassier Zombie will initiate a charge. It will first raise its sword and howl, signaling the beginning of the charge, and then will begin rushing the player at a speed of 24 studs/s, increasing up to a max of 42 studs/s at a rate of 5 studs/s/s. During this charge, the Cuirassier Zombie can only turn within a 60 degree cone of its original charge direction, and can charge for a maximum of 5 seconds before ending its charge. If the Cuirassier Zombie misses its target during its charge, it will decelerate at a rate of 30 studs/s/s and end its charge. If the Cuirassier Zombie hits a victim during its charge, it will impale them. This impale deals an initial 35 damage on impact, and an additional 40 damage upon removing the sword. 7) Viral runner: The Viral Runner is a variant of the standard Runner which is more volatile, and a far larger threat to you and your team. Viral Runners do not appears naturally--instead, they are the result of a people succumbing to the Infection. The Viral Runner sports twice the health of a standard Runner, and 2 unique attacks: Rabid Clawing, and Vomiting. When the Viral Runner performs its clawing attack, it will jump onto victim and begin immediately dealing damage (at a rate of 15 damage per 0.5 seconds), as-well as inflicting infection (a rate of 5 infection per 0.5 seconds). If the Viral Runner instead performs its Vomiting attack, the Runner will jump onto victim and begin vomiting onto their face and after 1.4 seconds, inflicting the Impending Madness debuff, which will fully infect a victim and can only be dealt with using the Chaplain's Mercy ability. The Viral Runner can spread the infection fairly quickly as its attacks can fully infect its victim and turn his victim into another Viral Runner. 8) Viral Zapper: The Viral Zapper is a variant of the standard Zapper, which is more volatile and a far larger threat to soldiers and their team. Viral Zappers do not spawn in naturally--instead, like the Viral Runner, they are the result of people succumbing to the Infection. The Viral Zapper has increased speed and swing rate compared to the Standard Zapper, but its damage output and debuff--"Gash"--are still the same. The Viral Zapper's increased speed and swing rate make it more difficult to outrun compared to the normal Zapper. The Viral Zapper has a different swing compared to the normal Zapper, using a side, making it difficult to time and dodge its attacks. Additionally, if a person is dueling against a Viral Zapper, at times the Viral will stand still and brace with its axe, very similar to the Sapper bracing with its axe, blocking any oncoming attacks. Sappers who are using the Siege Engineer Armour will become Viral Siege Engineer Zappers, the armour makes them more resistant to oncoming attacks, making them even more dangerous. Similar to the normal Zapper, Viral Zapper's can take down Sapper buildings very quickly, so if one does spawn, and due to its quicker swing speed, it can take only a few seconds to destroy a barricades. Denmark soldier's clothes: Headgear: A black shako hat with a tall, cylindrical shape and a slightly curved brim. The hat is adorned with a decorative plume (sultan) made of horsehair, attached to the top. The shako is reinforced with golden trim along the edges, adding a touch of elegance and regality. A chin strap secures the hat in place, ensuring it stays firmly on the head during combat. Coat: A striking red double-breasted coat made of woolen fabric, characteristic of Danish soldiers in the Napoleonic era. The coat features long tails at the back, giving it a formal and distinguished look. White crossbelts crisscross the chest, serving both a functional and aesthetic purpose. The coat is fastened with brass buttons, evenly distributed along the front. The red color of the coat symbolizes bravery and valor, while the white accents highlight the military precision. Facings (collar, cuffs, and lapels): The collar and cuffs are trimmed in white, creating a bold contrast against the red coat. The lapels maintain the red base, with white piping along the edges. This combination of colors not only enhances the visual appeal but also signifies regimental affiliation and rank. Breeches & Legwear: Grey woolen breeches extend to the ankles, providing both comfort and mobility. The breeches are snug-fitting, designed to allow freedom of movement during battle. Black leather leggings are worn over the breeches, offering additional protection and durability. Footwear: Sturdy black leather boots are worn with the trousers tucked inside. The boots are designed for long marches and combat conditions, providing both protection and mobility. The high-top design ensures the ankles are well-supported. Accoutrements:

• A black leather crossbelt supports a musket with a bayonet, slung diagonally across the body for quick access.
• A white leather shoulder belt holds a cartridge box, positioned on the opposite side for balanced weight distribution.
• A sword is attached to the belt, with the hilt visible on the side, ready for close combat.
• A small leather pouch is attached to the crossbelt for carrying essential tools or ammunition.
• A rectangular black leather knapsack is carried on the back for personal belongings and supplies. Additional details:
• The white crossbelts contrast sharply with the red coat, enhancing the visual impact of the uniform.
• The golden trim on the shako and buttons adds a touch of sophistication.
• The overall design reflects the military fashion of the Napoleonic era, blending functionality with a sense of pride and discipline.
• Rank insignia may be present on the epaulettes or collar, though not clearly visible in this depiction. Infection systems: When a Shambler grabs the victim from behind it will start to bite him and will receiving Infection at a rate of 8% Infection every second, and will continue receiving infection until the Shambler is attacked, killed, or people has succumbed to the blight. Infection Decay is only active when the people health is above 35%. Otherwise, infection decay does not occur. The rate of infection will increase with the number of Shamblers that have grabbed the player. Shambler’s clawing deals +4.35% infection every hit, while its bite deals +5%, in hardcore, claw deal 6% and bite 8%. Bite will also add the status effect "Bitten". Shamblers biting will not reset the timer for the "Bitten" status effect for balancing reasons. Runners, however, will reset the timer for "Bitten" due to how long the interval is. The "Bitten" status effect also has an unwritten rule where people will receive additional infection from Shambler clawing (about +5%).
