Quintus Crane : The Following

Description
Quintus Crane : The Following is a fan made sequel of the official campaign made by Numantian. Finishing the official one is not essential as you are starting the campaign on a new continent: Ashguard.

The Ashguard continent was a haven of peace and is the newest continent on the planet. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, this small continent was born of a gigantic volcanic eruption that upset the ocean currents during the global warming of the years 1900-2000. Ashguard was discovered by a team of explorers. Here lived people from all over the world. Conquered by new riches to explore and exploit, in less than 100 years, Man has occupied the whole island and brought the fauna and flora of many countries, as well as the construction of many infrastructures. The island was subject to several epidemics due to the incompatibility of some species, before finally having a stable environment.

Some times later, Ashguard was recognized as the best place to live on Earth for its cultural blend and unprecedented biodiversity, before sinking into chaos, with the infection that quickly spread.
Estimated population before infection: 110 million inhabitants.

After defeating the last infected stronghold, you have been covered in glory by the citizen of the New Empire and by Quintus Crane himself. After a few years, Quintus Crane is already planning to reconquer new lands and ordered you to cross the ocean in the east.
But a part of the population disagrees this decision and deep tensions appeared inside the New Empire. A group, called the Humanity Defenders, rapidly grew and forced Quintus Crane to create a government with two distinct parties :

- The Humanity Defenders, which is for the strengthening of border security. To do this, they increase your resource productivity and carry out propaganda campaigns to create a baby boom and increase the population quickly. Their will is centered on the construction of large defensive walls and turrets in order to avoid any overflow or intrusion of zombies within the colonies. However, military training will remain at your expense and the units enrolled will cost you more in up keep.

- The Will of Quintus, on the other hand, is based on military enlistment and the conquest of new lands to the detriment of the economy. For this party, only the expansion of the New Empire and the extermination of zombies are important. In fact, the colony’s economy is reduced for the war effort and important military propaganda are made to enlist soldiers at an early age.

You will have to manage your own politics by interacting with random events where yourself, politicians and even colonists will force you to make choices. Your political management can be carried over maps with a starting setup at the beginning of each map.
Also, Quintus Crane wants you to find clues about the recent appearance of the Mutants, and find if possible, the responsible of these mutations. Nobody knows what Quintus Crane has in mind, even you.

Quintus Crane : The Following campaign is divided in 12 missions, called “State”. Each map will be released 2 weeks after the previous map. It’s only an ETA and, as I’m taking my free time to work on this campaign, it could be earlier/later, as real personal life is more important.

State 1 : The cursed city (13th January 2020)
State 2 : Lands of ice and blood (24th January 2020)
State 3 : Bridges to hell (10th February 2020)
State 4 : Graves of sand – Part 1 (24th February 2020)
State 5 : Graves of sand – Part 2 (7th April 2020)
State 6 : The Great Wall of Ashguard (20th April 2020)
State 7 : The swamps & The Fortuneteller (8th May 2020)
State 8 : The summits of madness (Mid May 2020)

last part of the riddle is non sense

Hello Fahilan!

My apologies for the late answer. Unfortunately, I don't remember where they are. I can not support the map anymore as I don't have the map files anymore.

I'm so sorry :(

I can't find any clues. Can you tell me where it is?

Ok, I got into the HQ area, and am facing the riddle, I have the answer; however the wording is confusing. I believe it should read. "He is twice as old as his brother and half the age of his sister. The youngest is older than 1, but none of them are older than 10" my reasoning is that without including "None of them are older than 10" the age of the sister becomes irrelevant. The wording "twice older than his brother' might imply that he is 3 times as old as his brother as the difference between their ages is twice the age of his brother and similarly with 'twice younger than his sister' - if the younger brother is 2, he is 6 (as 6-2 = 4 which is 'twice older than his bother') by this logic the sister would have to be 18 (as 18-6=12 which is 'twice younger than his sister') similarly his younger brother could also be 3; anything more than his age would be greater than 9 which is the limit of the available choices for his age.

The first part of the riddle I didn't quite get, had to use ChatGPT to find the answer. All the other parts were good and clear riddles (to me at least) but using 'he' made me think all the riddles were talking about the same person, rather than independent statements. You could substitute 'it' instead of 'he/him' for the middle parts of the riddle (2-4), the last part of the riddle must be 'he or she'. Alternatively, you could say 'You will be faced with 5 riddles' - Overall nice addition, also it's good that this is not the only way to complete this stage :) Once again, lot's of fun, challenging (but not impossible) on novice. Thumbs up, would play again :D and Thank you for all your effort in creating this campaign <3

Did I forget to mention it was fun :D

Played this on novice, no save, with politics. The convoys are very helpful. Established a defensive line, got to the wood workshop. Survived the day 62 horde ... wanted to get the HQ, sent a ranger.. No3 would not trigger, all others did. Crossed the line, gas released. :steamfacepalm: Going to try again, I'll be back if No3 doesn't trigger again :/

How are you supposed to pass the gold line without setting of the gas? It has killed me several times. i have activated all 3 panels but it still releases gas.

I find this map to be really tough at the beginning, but not that bad once you settle and managed to repel the first waves.

I loved the fact that we start with an up and running base with some nice truck choke point.

The introduction is fantastic, but does get a bit in the way of many retries (git gud I guess)

The enigma at the end was fantastic, never expected something like that in They are Billions. Even shared it with my friend on discord :steamthumbsup:

Overall, another great map, amongst my favorite of the campaign.

I did use convoys, but after watching Kensei, I guess I was too slow in expanding and should have used half my army to attack earlier, instead of keeping them back to defend. So yea, I was falling behind.

But overall, I'd still reduce the amount of stacked taverns, at least in the wood workshop area a bit for novice. There's just a huge difficulty spike on this map, compared to the others, I feel.
