Haunted levels: A new "random level" idea.

Well, we have stuff like treasure rooms and arenas, which occur as random levels
throughout the clockworks. The concept seems at first somewhat similar to a graveyard, but
is actually quite different. You see, most of these will contain a basically empty landscape.
Or so it seems, at first. Although wolvers, spookats and devilites may appear, the real star
of these freakshows are the zombies. Well, zombies aren't particularly tough, are they?
Well, how's an INFINITE number of zombies sound to you?

As you go through the level, zombies of a corresponding elemental type to the level
will start randomly spawning out of the gound. And spawning. And spawning. AND SPAWNING.
The more you kill, the more they come. At first the max number of zombies randomly spawned at
once is at a manageable 6. However, every 12 zombies killed (or every minute spent there by default),
the max count goes up by one, peaking at up to 35 of them at once. They will also despawn far enough
offscreen to allow more of them to spawn by the players. To avoid exploitability, these infinitely-spawning
zombies will NOT drop anything. So, the best idea would be to just get thorugh as quickly as possible, right?
Well...that depends.

You know how I said that the maps are vast in these levels? Well, not only are they
huge, but they contain a ton of treasure boxes and random crowns scattered around. A good
party could easily scrape 7,500 crowns out of even a tier 1. Not only that, but at least ONE
of the red treasure boxes is guaranteed to drop a random armor, shield, gun, sword or
helmet of at least 3* quality! And you might find MORE than one! But the question is, how
long do you want to spend looking? As the horde grows, so does the danger. Will you be
prudent and take the safe, easy way out, or will greed snag you by the ankle and draw you
into the jaws of death?

Shivermist and oh easy money!

Shivermist and oh easy money! 2k would be reasonable also maybe with all the boxes it could be a 10% chance that would be a lot less OP as far as the payout.

So you're proposing a new level that will be the only kind of level worth doing by far.

And what's more, you want this level to still be all about zombies.

Oh boy we don't have anything like that!
