Thanks for the clarification.? My assumption was based upon my understanding of version 1.0.
In the discussion thread for version 1.0, you said that your “over-arching theme [has] to do with the costs of mankind?s mindless destruction for the sake of progress.”? ?That is a theme well worth exploring.
But I don’t see how the moral geometry of your proposed plot lines up.? How does the protagonist gain redemption by fighting for the people who have engaged in mindless destruction, fighting against?the people who have been resurrected to avenge the destruction or who are agents of the people (Native Americans) who have been the victims of the mindless destruction??
Or to phrase it another way:? If you? are deploying zombies in service of your theme, on what side of the thematic argument are they?
Regards

If it's a Native American curse, then I presume the dead who are raised are also Native Americans.?

I say this as someone who was born? in the American West,? whose forefathers squatted on and stole land from Native Americans, who plundered and exploited the natural resources (water, timber, gold, silver) without any thought of Native American rights:? that configuration of good guys vs. bad guys just doesn’t play anymore? in? American movies.? The? zeitgeist? has evolved; the cultural mythos for the Old West has changed.
IMHO, the gunfighter is seeking redemption? by fighting for the wrong side.
My 2.5 cents worth.

I find the moral geometry of the premise somewhat confusing and unsatisfactory.
