28 Years Later - Phase 04 (A Tale of Two Cities)

Description
28 years have passed since a phenomenon known as the The Tempest engulfed the world. Kirkwall was until recently the last settlement in the region, but with your help they have cleared and expanded into most of Scotland. The last strongholds of infected in Scotland are in the once great cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. You’ve been tasked with founding New Sterling to the north and from there you can clear out the dead cities to the south. But in doing so will trigger every last infected in Scotland…

Difficulty: Challenging to Hard – this is the Chapter 1 finale and concludes the Scotland campaign. There are waves every 8 days with the final wave on day 56. You start with a Command Center, a couple of soldiers and rangers and Smith, the richest citizen from Kirkwall. He brings his Titan which is key to your survival early on. Infected arrive from the west, east and south every wave so learn the pattern and timing they arrive at your base and use the mobility of the Titan to fight them off.

This is the biggest battle so far this series and I’ve tried to design an epic battle without being too hard - you will receive various reinforcements and supplies from the colonies secured in Phases 1 – 3. The overall story doesn’t advance as much this map but there is still a lot dialogue and world building. This map isn’t designed to be defeated in one play-through, but if you are struggling let me know and I can post some tips. Phase 5 will be purely focused on the story and will be an RPG concept map with no traditional TAB action.

If you beat Phase 4 easily please try Phase 4X which is for 500%+ players.

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 - "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) – 29th Jan 2019
Phase 6 - "Tunnel Vision" - Dark Moorlands (Kirkwall underground) – 29th Jan 2019
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

Thanks for the understanding! If it helps for the sake of the plot, had you survived the final wave (which also empties the map) you get the text in my next comment (covered in spoiler tags).

Things get a lot more polished if and when you reach 29 Years Later :)

its fine, wouldnt even be shocked if it started to fall apart. updates typically do that to mods. thank you for responding. I think im just gonna move onto phase 5 because there is no real point to do it all again. love the scenarios!

@LCDC - sorry to hear you had a problem with the map ending like this; I've not heard of random failures on this map before. I've just loaded the map up in the editor and there are only 2 fail conditions on this map: the Command Center or Smith being killed. If neither of these happened then I don't know why it caused you to fail. The map was released 3 years ago so it's possible there is something since then that's corrupted it.

The final wave is day 56 so you were so close, and I appreciate how frustrating it is to have wasted your time like that so I can only apologise :(

ok so the town is named new stirling, but my command center never died. it was day 41, I was just cleaning up the wave and all of the sudden it just ended. max pop 1500 and only 9 civs dead... 9k infected killed. thats so dumb

@Nicol_Bolas - thanks and great to hear you enjoy the missions and variety!

Hello, I really enjoy your missions. These basically doubled my enjoyment of the game. They should pay you for this dude. These missions really force you to play differently then survival, each little bonus counts, you cant just take the map and spam executors + thanatos. Well done
