## Plot

The plot of TDoM: Coreopsis takes place in 2024, at the same time of The Death of Mankind. The game takes place during the Trade Conflict, a war between two major North American Union remnants that seek to dominate the American Terra Nullius trade. These groups in question are The Coven and The Fallen Valorant, with The Spiked Pillar being another major contributor to the war. This conflict has found itself in Cape Coral, where a terrorist cell group known as the Hunters have established themselves in the city. On the other hand at the same time, the Hope of New Living, a nomadic wastelander group, has established themselves in an abandoned area of the city, where the city authority is trying to run out the group.

All the while, Cape Coral is in a serious danger unbenknowsnt to most people: the Green Viscidation has exploded in the area just a little before the bombs dropped on July 16th, 2022. The HNL, while favor a settlement for themselves, are spreading the diesease throughout the city as they try to establish themselves. The People's Viscidation Response Team was deployed in late 2023 to help combat the zombies.

Despite the state of Cape Coral, which is to say that the local government fails to help, many people have taken different sides on the political state of the city. The power grapple has lead to many independent groups forming to also seize power. The local government wants to establish a grip on the city like it had before, but it lacks support from the federal or confederate government. The trade guilds wish to formally make Cape Coral their capital city, however lack the strength need to topple the local government. Independent groups wish to simply live with no government controlling them, however much like the trade unions—lack manpower. The NHL wishes to keep the peace, and live in a section protected the government, but lack civillian support to encourage government intervention.
