Plants vs Zombies: A Post Mortem Analysis

After many many games of turf takeover I do think the zombies do have the upper hand in close range combat. One example was about two days ago I was playing a game of Zomburbia as plants. My team surprisingly managed to make it all the way to the finale and almost achieve victory. From past games on this map I had noticed one room in the finale that the zombies always have a good chance of defending. The gallery has been the one room zombies are capable of defending unless the team is very uncoordinated. I feel the reason is this room is somewhat medium-small size and the plants have to funnel in from 2-3 entrances and engage in close combat. The plants have a easy time getting all the other rooms since one is close to the plant spawn and the other can be acsessed from ground level and the ceiling. From this game the zombies managed to defend one painting and to describe how they did was so simple but difficult. Before reaching the finale our team was steam rolling even 75% of the finale. The zombies managed to defend by placing dummy shields and sticky explodey balls next to the painting. They also had two pylon imps in mechs placing mines everywhere. Then they had all stars and super brainz guarding all the entrances with prates ready with their cannon rodeos. Even with my team steam rolling they managed to win at the finale. All in my opinion because the plants must engage in close range.
