thirsty drive me crazy!

[xorms]

at the last 10 hours, I find there are too many people, they make me no enough water. finally I lost the game because thirsty makes my men to weak to fight..........
is there any way to control the population or some way to gain more water?
PS: All the building is under my control, and full of people to defend them.

Hey xorms,

Water can be a tricky resource to manage. Just when you think you have enough, you find a couple more survivors and it all goes pear-shaped!

Part of the strategy of Zafehouse is to be proactive about your survivors needs, rather than reactive. If you start looking for water when you only have a few hours of supply left, chances are the game is already lost. A good idea is to capture the Store first, so that you're producing water right from the get go. Also, don't be afraid to set water as your second, or even first search priority. Look at it this way - if you have a massive supply of water at the half-way point of the  game, then you don't have to worry about it again and can focus on survivors and weapons.

If you're finding you have too many survivors to manage, you can leave the Church undefended and let it be taken by zombies. You don't need to have every building held to win the game, so just focus on the ones that supply you with what you need. I recommended the Store and Warehouse early on, as water is crucial to stockpile early, and barricades will make sure that your buildings can stay defended with only a couple of survivors.

Hope these tips help. :)

PS. You'll be happy to know Zafehouse 2 has no water!
