The Following - State 8 - The summits of madness

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.
