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

This is the same map as Phase 4 but much much harder…

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: Nightmare – this is the same map and story as vanilla Phase 4, but Phase 4X features 50% more infected, 2 giants and the same number of waves in 49 days instead of 56 days. I usually win 500 - 700% survival maps and I just about managed to clear the map and survived with 1 wall left on each defence. I recommend only playing this version if you can beat the game at 500% or above.

This is by far the biggest battle so far this series but 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. Phase 5 will be purely focused on the story and will be an RPG concept map with no traditional TAB action. I’ll be releasing Phase 6 at the same time (end of Jan 2019). If you find Phase 4 too easy and Phase 4X too hard and would like some tips I can post some, but I hope you enjoy learning the pattern to success (like an old fashioned boss fight).
