Graveyard Keeper 2 Combat

Combat is a major sequel pillar. As Grand Inquisitor, the player fights alongside an undead army, builds towers and fortifications, crafts weapons and armor, trains troops, and reclaims The Town from hostile undead. Exact damage, defense, unit caps, and encounter routes are not yet safe to publish.

FIELD DECISION / 01

What to do with this information

  1. Prepare by understanding roles, not copying a fictional loadout.
  2. Observe what a fortification controls before assigning value.
  3. Treat worker and combat zombie advice as separate until role switching is verified.

LEDGER NOTE / 02

Combat serves restoration

Official material ties battle to restoring peace and rebuilding The Town. That makes combat progression part of the city loop, not an isolated arena system. The most useful launch guide will track what each secured area unlocks outside combat as well as its enemies.

LEDGER NOTE / 03

A safe preparation model

Before numbers are known, players can still plan categories: personal survival, troop readiness, gear supply, fixed defenses, and post-battle recovery. The field-order diagram uses those categories without assigning imaginary values.
