Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of non-military routes to supremacy. Games can take a long time to complete since the amount of micromanagement needed to sustain an empire increases as the empire grows.
Shambling undead humans who died after being infected by some sort of virus and are now "alive" again, commonly known for the desire to kill living human beings. Commonly paired with the (post-)apocalyptic genre.
