SURVIVORS
Your survivors need food, water, safety and high morale. If your morale dips too low your survivors may begin to sneak off in the night. Boost morale by finding supplies and staying alive.
Other survivors roam around the map, moving only to gather more supplies when they run out. If you see a large group moving down the street that means they may not have much and just be more mouths to feed. Survivors staying put will have food, water, ammo, fuel, and maybe some weapons. You decide which will be easier to recruit / handle.
You also get a reputation based on your choices, survivors are less likely to join murderous thugs than good guys. But they can always be persuaded by sending alot of firepower to show off.
Be aure to assign/equip survivors based on their skills.

- Utility- General labor skills, carry this, carry that
- Medical- Heal your team mates

- Build- Construction of fortifications and buildings
