I feel like this really cheapens the "zombie effect though". One of my most hated things (of which there is a lot of) about the walking dead, is that the stupid "slather yourself in guts and walk slow" shit actually works.

I prefer the world war z (book) version, where they just always know. otherwise its just extraordinarily easy to beat them.

Well realistically, it WOULD be easier to beat them. They "always just know" is the problem you're having. If they know, it's for plot purposes and so they wouldn't attack humanoids. But if the plot doesn't specify otherwise, they would very likely attack humanoids. They would be subject to whatever senses, abilities, intelligence the setting gives them and usually they aren't given much because they are corpses. The very concept of a zombie is a bit nonsensical. If they are limited in what they can do and they have a physical body to target, they'd be wiped out very quickly. Some might even die to an animal. If they don't attack back just because it's not human, they are letting themselves get eaten.

I just want to restore this world back to the natural. Bring order to this broken reality. To the way it should have been, all those many years ago.
