How do you explain Necroa being this absurdly effective against modern states?
I’ve been playing the Necroa scenario a lot recently, and the more I play it, the more absurd it starts to feel when I compare it to how modern states would realistically respond.
Realistically, the first country getting overrun would trigger an immediate international security crisis. Borders and ports would shut down fast, major powers would intervene early, governments would impose quarantine and transport control, and armies would throw surveillance, armor, artillery, air power, and overwhelming force at the outbreak long before it snowballed into a planet-wide undead apocalypse.
But in-game, countries often feel passive until the zombies are already everywhere, international intervention feels far weaker than it should, and even major modern powers can end up looking like slightly tankier speed bumps.
So I’m curious how people here explain Necroa in-universe: do you just treat it as gameplay-first design, or do you have a headcanon that makes it make sense?
