28 Years Later - Phase 02 (Seeds of Change)

Description
28 years have passed since a phenomenon known as the The Tempest engulfed the world. Kirkwall, the only remaining settlement in the region, recently established a foothold on the mainland. This new settlement, called New Thurso, was founded with help from native sniper hunters McCauley, McKenzie and McKraken. However, these actions have been noted by the local infected population and beyond...

Difficulty: Accessible - waves every 7 days and the final wave is after 28 days. It helps to clear as much of the map as possible. There is no iron or oil on this map but it can be bought from the market. If you are a more experienced player then please try Phase 2X.

This is map 2 of a planned 12 map story campaign, with the difficulty going up as the campaign progresses. I draw inspiration from some of my favourite games and films, with elements of my own imagination and of course bundled in the great world of They Are Billions.

These are my first ever TAB maps. I hope you enjoy them and I welcome all feedback!

Without spoiling the story too much this how the campaign is shaping up:

“Chapter 1 – Wait it Out”
Phase 1 - "One Foot in the Grave" - Peaceful Lowlands (Scotland) - Out Now
Phase 2(+X) - "Seeds of Change" - Peaceful Lowlands (Scotland) - Out Now
Phase 3(+X) - "Highland to Hell" - The Frozen Highlands (Scotland) – Out Now
Phase 4(+X) - "A Tale of Two Cities" - The Frozen Highlands (Scotland) – Out Now

“Chapter 2 – Hide and Seek”
Phase 5 - "Welcome to Kirkwall" - Peaceful Lowlands (Kirkwall) – Out Now
Phase 6(+X) - "Tunnel Vision" - Dark Moorlands (Kirkwall underground) – Out Now
Phase 7 - "March of the Titan" - Desolated Wasteland (Yorkshire) – 3rd Feb 2019
Phase 8 - "Passfire" - Desolated Wasteland (Liverpool) – 10th Feb 2019

“Chapter 3 – You Know Where to Find Me”
Phase 9 - "Lily of the Valley Pt 1" - Peaceful Lowlands (Wales) – 23rd Feb 2019
Phase 10 - "Lily of the Valley Pt 2" - Dark Moorlands (Wales underground) – 23rd Feb 2019
Phase 11 - "Bridges over Troubled Water" - The Peaceful Lowlands (London) – 1st March 2019
Phase 12 - "The Tempest" - (Secret!) – 7th March 2019

Maps 1 and 2 were released together as a test of concept. Thanks for all the great feedback which has made me want to complete the campaign. There should be a new map every 7 - 10 days.

When I'm gifted a free unit by the mayor, how do I actually obtain it ? Great level - I can't seem to beat it because the third phase just wipes me out, but it is fun.

How do you save during each scenario? I failed right at the very end of phase 2... Do I have to replay the entire phase 2 from start? I don't see an option to save or load during the game.

Very nice map, rather easy, but not boring. In game advice and story telling is great, gives more depth to the game other than plain old zombie slaughtering.. A good example how this game can still be good without Titans and Giants, simply by good scenario design.

Отстой а не компейн. Лучше Новый Феникс возьмите

@POBmaestro - My apologies; it appears that the crashing was due to my PC's GPU hardware issues rather than your map. I have completed the map and really enjoyed it. I look forward to trying your other maps :-)

@Conan Nemic - sorry the game is crashing for you. This is a rare bug for all custom maps. If you have any crash logs or anything you could post them on the discussion forums under bug reporting. Hope you are able to enjoy the rest of the campaign without the crashes :)

This map has caused my game to crash once and my PC to crash twice.

Apart from that I do like the map. I will check Phase 3 . . .

I have added 2 conversations with Ava, a loot truck to the south (with lore) and hints to the game over screen. Phase 2X is also now out for those that find this map too easy :)

@AmmarBanyzahr - thank you. I think you will enjoy the rest of the series! Phase 3 does a lot more character and world building, Phase 4 is is a longer map and Phase 5 (ETA end of Jan) is all about the story and the hero personalities :)

Nice job, I have enjoyed phase 1 and 2. However, I think you need to add dialogs between the heros so we may know more about their personalities. giving more depth to the story.
