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.

@amisianer.

I tried my best to balance each level of difficulty. It seems you are falling behind slowly. Are you using convoys? They are helping a lot.

If you still struggling that hard on this map on novice difficulty, I can lower the number of infected.

Thank you for your comment and let me know if you use convoys,

It's a pity, really, because I really enjoy the story and map design of this campaign. But I failed this one 5 times now and I'm about done. I think i'm just gonna skip it for now until I've watched the Kensei video.
amisianer 12 Oct, 2020 @ 3:46am 
Uhm, how to get to the wood workshop? There's just way too many taverns stacked on top of each other. I had 60 snipers and 8 Thanatos stationed and it STILL wasn't enough. And on Day 30 there's already 100 runners and like 10 chubbies in each wave, on Novice. Honestly, in general you could easily cut down your novice difficulties in all these map by half or at least a third and it would still be a challenge for anyone who plays under 500%. Heck, I do 500% sometimes and I still struggle way too hard on some of these maps.

I don't always wanna be the one guy complaining, but jeez. When I see that amount of zombies in the waves on only day 30, it makes me not even want to try anymore.

Hi @dr.nonsons5! Thank you for your comment!

NICE CAMPAIN MY PLEASURE:steamhappy::steamhappy::steamhappy:

I don't think the political murdering adds anything to the game, especially if you can't bring the chance down to 0. Also, I watched Kensai's run and he puts in 4 for the one who is twice the age of his brother and half the age of his sister, but they total less than 10. Shouldn't the answer be 2?
tw-runrun 13 Mar, 2020 @ 8:03pm 
that gas was unacceptable >"<
圣耀 2 Mar, 2020 @ 7:12am 
the clue is very easy to find , just at the beginning
Tangokillah 1 Mar, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
Has anyone found the clue on this map yet? Just beat it and not clue. KenseiTV didn't find it either. Strange...
KarEssMoua  [author] 29 Feb, 2020 @ 9:25am 
@martin_renneke, hopefully the bug save will be released at the end of march. I am sorry for this inconvenient

großartig :steamhappy:
martin_renneke 29 Feb, 2020 @ 8:13am 
nice level, but not possible to save. I'll stop playing this and wait until the bug is solved.

Here a run from KenseiTV

martin_renneke 29 Feb, 2020 @ 3:12am 
at the medium or hard level of cause :)
martin_renneke 29 Feb, 2020 @ 3:10am 
Please show a video how to manage the first horde.
KarEssMoua  [author] 28 Feb, 2020 @ 9:54am 
It might be because you didn't have enough Political Power to keep them elected :)
圣耀 28 Feb, 2020 @ 7:33am 
I have finished this map, but my politician always disappear(not be murdered),and always let me choose new politician.

Hi! Yes saving/reloading the map can break the map. Unfortunately, I cannot fix it, it's a dev problem. 😔
