Would Kryal Castle be the best place to hold out a zombie apocalypse from?

  No, those walls are largely ornamental. It isn’t an established garden, and to the best of my knowledge lacks a water source.

    Sounds like you’ve looked into this before…🧐

      Bro! Even somebody who’s watched more than two zombie/end of the world movies knows this stuff!

      Just a tiny bit

  You’ve got walls around most of the perimeter, requiring very little effort to fully close off. The inside is extremely spacious with enough room for growing foods, a forest with a decent supply of wood.

  I think this could house a decent survivor encampment, is there anywhere better?

    • Where’s your nearest water source? How easy is it to protect?
    • Having enough room to grow vegetables is a moot point unless you have enough additional supplies to support you whilst you wait for the food to grow.
    • What’s the soil like? What can you grow there? What’s the climate like?
    • It takes about one acre of land to support one person, how many people are you supporting?
    • The walls might keep shambling hordes out, but what about raiders and the like? Will you have enough people to secure it? Will you be able to feed and water those people with the space you have?

      And speaking of water sources, how good at not pooing in it are you?

    Hanging Rock would be defensible with a little work. Good visibility of any approach, too.

    I suppose small islands off the mainland are cheating, we would have to embrace Curse of the Black Pearl rules to keep it challenging.

  Fortresses make you a sitting duck in any apocalypse. The best defence is building a community of like minded people who can help support each other.

  If you’re set on a fortress though the best place is actually a prison, assuming the inmates have left.

  Fast or slow zombies? WWZ hyped up Windsor castle. Some of the Dutch fortifications i.e. Fort Bourtange seem good.

  It sounds like it would be terrific fun. 🧟🧟‍♀️

  I’m not familiar with the features of this castle but off the top of my head… Probably not. You run out of food and water very quickly under siege, and close proximity with poor sanitation would lead to disease.

  Zombies tend to be attracted to humans and would pack themselves closely in masses around the perimeter and they don’t need to leave for any reason. Can’t be scared off. Don’t sleep. Pouring down boiling water or oil would only do superficial damage to the undead as it wouldn’t necessarily destroy the brain.

  Could try tunneling out for a supplies route but good luck if zombies breach or opportunistic humans find it. The people would be trapped inside and basically fish in a barrel

  That wall on the left side looks trivial to climb.
