The full game was officially launched with the addition of a "New Empire" campaign on June 18, 2019. Ports for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 followed on July 1st, 2019.In the 22nd century a Zombie Apocalypse has destroyed civilization and nearly the entire human population of Earth. Technology for those who survived has regressed to somewhere around late 19th/early 20th century tech in a Steampunk plus Tesla Tech Timeline. General Quintus Crane is attempting to establish a new Human civilization capable of withstanding zombie attacks and slowly reclaiming the planet. You are one of his field commanders, tasked with reconquering lands from the Infected and building new colonies.The game is noteworthy for the sheer number of Infected units on screen and their ability to swarm over base defenses. | |

Early Game Hell | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: You start each mission with only a command center and a tiny handful of troops, which you have to use to both defend your base and clear mobs for expansion. Since it can take a lot time to acquire the resources and buildings needed to recruit new soldiers and fortify your base with walls, it can be quite simple for a single zombie to slip past your few starting troops and set off a chain reaction among your buildings that will overwhelm your whole base. The campaign is very slow to start as so much of the technology is locked behind the tech tree. Attempting to do one of the colony-building missions before unlocking Cottages and Farms will result in a massively overgrown tent town just to meet the population requirements. | |

Human Resources: The lore on the 22nd century, two centuries before the game's present time, had Human Protein Processors, where the "undesirables" were turned into food products to cope with overpopulated Earth. It is implied that the "Zombies" are caused by mutated rabies-like diseases from food made from this process. | |

Crapsack World | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Well what can you expect from a zombified world? Even the pre-apocalypse Earth wasn't rosy either. The population of Earth by 22nd century has peaked around 90 Billion, majority of whom lived in crowded Mega City with increasing shortages of arable lands to feed the populace. As basic necessities became harder for the majority of citizens, the scientists turned to Human Protein Processors with criminals, infirmed, and the homeless serving as "raw materials". Three decades after the implementation of technology, a rabies-like disease—implied to have come from food sources made from Human Protein Processors—began to spread among the populace that led to the Zombie Apocalypse. | |

More Dakka: Your base defense tends to naturally end up like this as you add more and more troops and base defense Soldier units are armed with rapid-fire sub-machine guns. Titan mechs are armed with dual gatling guns. The Wasp is a automated machine gun turret that is very cheap to build and easy to spam in large numbers. The Executor is the most powerful turret in the game and mounts a truly massive gatling gun. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Top tier units and structures are spectacular to look at in action but also cost a ton not just to build but also to research, build the production structure for, and maintain. Most importantly, the versatile (and in campaign, powerful) Soldier is at the very start of the Tech Tree, and aside from the underwhelming Sniper, every more advanced unit type afterwards requires four more buildings and three technologies and the limited oil resource to even be able to produce. The Lucifer gets a double helping as its flamethrower is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, but it has extremely slow speed and inflicts a permanent -1 penalty on oil production for every unit in service. They can't fire from behind walls, making it significantly harder to use than most other units in a game centered around hiding behind your walls. They can also fry your own men with friendly fire, meaning they require significant micromanagement when working with other troop types. They are, however, very effective at holding gates and narrow choke points, particularly using more than one of them since they can't can't damage each other. They also serve as a very effective final protective line in the event that your walls are breeched. The Executor is the most powerful turret but it also has the highest maintenance cost at 50 gold, where the ballista it upgrades from only costs 15. Most players hold off on upgrading their ballista until the final wave to avoid tanking their economy. The Titan is hit particularly badly with this; incredibly expensive just to unlocknote you have to unlock and build an Engineering Center, itself expensive, and then research the Titan itself, which costs 6000 currency, hands-down the most expensive thing in the game and more money than you can even store without at least two Warehouses, it's expensive to build, has a high upkeep, and its damage output is not even close to high enough considering all the money and other resources you spent getting the thing. They can't even gain experience and become veterans like your other troops. The Mutant as just as difficult and nearly as expensive as the Titan, but it fights in melee instead of at range. To compensate, it deals splash damage and has the highest hit point total among the buildable units. The catch is that it's passive health regeneration isn't any faster than that of other units, meaning it will be out of action for several minutes if it gets too badly hurt. The massively expensive Wonders that can be built all have incredibly powerful effects (like permanently revealing the entire map, instantly promoting all current and future units, or providing a bunch of oil). However you'll need several warehouses just to hold enough resources to start the very long research, then you'll have to spend even more to actually build the thing. That being said, in the later parts of the game, especially at easier difficulties, players will often find themselves with tons of resources to burn anyways. The Silent Beholder gets an extra helping of this trope. It's built on top of the Command Center, which has to devote all of its attention to the installation. Meaning that you can't build any other structures while the Silent Beholder is building. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The most basic unit, the Ranger, is by far the most important unit in the early game. It is quickly and cheaply built, doesn't need special resources, is the fastest unit in the game and its silence makes it less prone to gather unwanted attention. They are also very useful for drawing mobs away from your walls during horde attacks or outposts during the swarm missions, since Rangers can easily outrun most enemies. Due to upgrades available in the campaign, the humble Soldiers are likely to be backbone of your army on every difficulty and every map. They have a fast rate of fire that prevents overkill, a very low cost, good single target damage, are among the easiest units to produce, and have exceptional durability for their cost. They also have a moderately good speed rating, enabling them to outrun most lower tier zombie units and rush quickly to reinforce parts of your city defenses at risk for being overrun. The Academy of Immortals turns every one of them into veterans, making them inflict twice as much damage per second. When filled with four of the upgraded veteran soldiers, the simple stone tower does more single target damage per second than anything in the entire game, including twenty foot tall Infected Giants and gatling cannons the size of trains. And unlike Balista or Gatling towers, the stone tower can't be infested, and will be fully functional so long as it has any hit points remaining. Wooden walls are available from the beginning of the game. They're not particularly interesting, but they're critical for ensuring that zombies don't slip in past your perimeter as even a single infected can snowball into losing the game. Also they are extremely useful during mob defenses even after you've upgraded your walls to stone. You can still throw up large amount of wooden posts in front of your main walls, presenting a very significant additional obstacle to the enemy at a cheap price. The Wasp is the cheapest defensive structure and the only one not to have splash damage. However, it is cheap to build, takes up a quarter of the space of other automated defenses, and has the lowest upkeep requirements of anything in the entire game. It is supposed to be useful against small numbers of zombies, but in terms of both cost and amount of space taken up it easily outclasses every other automated defense. | |

Baseless Mission | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_4642edbd | comment |
Baseless Mission: Campaign mode features two different kinds. In the first, the player controls a single Hero Unit delving through a pre-apocalyptic ruin for valuable artifacts and information. Some of these missions have you rescue a handful of other units, while you'll only have your Hero for the rest. The goal is collect a specific Mission Artifact and as many Research and Empire points as you can find. The second type are the result of mobs of Infected crowding the roads between mission areas. In order to reach the mission on the far side, you'll set up an outpost and requisition forces based on how many Empire points you've accumulated. Once the mission starts, you can't buy anything else. If the Outpost falls, you lose. If you kill all the Infected (and all but the first few of these missions sees them numbered in the thousands), you win. | |

Hit-and-Run Tactics | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_4f23179 | comment |
Hit-and-Run Tactics: A preferred way to clear out the map is to send a small raider group to aggro a bunch of zombies from the main horde, fall back with them pursuing you, than halting and wiping out the pursuers. This allows you to thin the massive hordes outside your walls without getting overwhelmed. Rinse and repeat. | |

Elite Zombie | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_52cd5b94 | comment |
Elite Zombie: The game will soon start throwing increasingly tougher varieties at you as time goes on. Some examples include: Infected Fresh and Colonist Infected, which are faster. Infected Executives, which are both faster and tougher than normal Infected. They have a nice suit, too. Infected Chubbies, which are massive and extremely durable. They hit very hard, of course. Infected Venoms, which have a powerful area-of-effect ranged attack. Infected Harpies, which are extremely fast and can jump over walls. Infected Giants, which are the strongest of all the Infected. | |

Tactical Superweapon Unit | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_53c74613 | comment |
Tactical Superweapon Unit: The two end-game units the Titan and the Mutant. The Mutant has the highest health of any controllable unit, along with a high movement speed. It also inflicts Area of Effect damage to any units in melee range, making it capable of devastating hordes of Infected. However, it's not as suited for holding of the Special Infected for long periods of time. The Titan is the most expensive and time-consuming unit available to the player. Best described as a mobile Executor turret, the Titan has a good movement speed and inflicts Area of Effect damage at a good range. Its high health also allows it to act as a temporary wall and physically hold back the Infected if only for a few seconds. A small squad of Titans is easily able to clear an entire map of the Infected. | |

Fragile Speedster: Rangers are the fastest infantry unit you can build early on but are by far the most fragile of your units with only 60 hp. Harpies, considering what they are expies of run extremely fast, can jump over walls, and have very deadly attack. However, they are only slightly tougher than an average zombie, 2 shots from your snipers will put them down for good. | |

Due to upgrades available in the campaign, the humble Soldiers are likely to be backbone of your army on every difficulty and every map. They have a fast rate of fire that prevents overkill, a very low cost, good single target damage, are among the easiest units to produce, and have exceptional durability for their cost. They also have a moderately good speed rating, enabling them to outrun most lower tier zombie units and rush quickly to reinforce parts of your city defenses at risk for being overrun. The Academy of Immortals turns every one of them into veterans, making them inflict twice as much damage per second. | |

Herd-Hitting Attack | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_7cb1cbb5 | comment |
The Mutant as just as difficult and nearly as expensive as the Titan, but it fights in melee instead of at range. To compensate, it deals splash damage and has the highest hit point total among the buildable units. The catch is that it's passive health regeneration isn't any faster than that of other units, meaning it will be out of action for several minutes if it gets too badly hurt. | |

They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Mighty Glacier: Lucifer troops, heavily armored soldiers armed with powerful flamethrowers, have a large pool of hitpoints (600) and a powerful area-of-effect attack that allows them to kill multiple zombies at once very quickly. They are also extremely slow. They are best used as a slightly mobile base defense force to be deployed in front of your defensive lines when dealing with horde attacks. Thanatos troops have slightly less hitpoints than the Lucifers (250) and are not much faster but they have a powerful long ranged missile attack and are capable of meleeing any zombies that get too close. Caelus, one of the two Hero units chosen at the start of a campaign, is this. He one-shots most basic Infected, but attacks and moves slowly. Contrast with Calliope, who is more of a Glass Cannon. | |

Luck-Based Mission: Survival mode can go very well or very poorly depending on a few factors. The resources that are available near the starting point have a huge impact on how quickly you are able to gain access to higher tech trees. Local terrain features may or may not include several natural choke points, which can greatly improve your ability to defend against large hordes. The choices of mayor that are made available at each population tier are completely random. Some of them come with amazing benefits that will benefit the entire play-though such as reduced build times or reduced research costs. Others offer small bonuses like a few units or resources. | |

Mega City | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_aa8db5e2 | comment |
Even the pre-apocalypse Earth wasn't rosy either. The population of Earth by 22nd century has peaked around 90 Billion, majority of whom lived in crowded Mega City with increasing shortages of arable lands to feed the populace. As basic necessities became harder for the majority of citizens, the scientists turned to Human Protein Processors with criminals, infirmed, and the homeless serving as "raw materials". Three decades after the implementation of technology, a rabies-like disease—implied to have come from food sources made from Human Protein Processors—began to spread among the populace that led to the Zombie Apocalypse. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Unless one your combat units aggro some infected, their default behavior, once they make a beeline to your colony, is to attack the nearest unit or building, even if it is a wall or an empty tower. So it is possible for zombies to stupidly strike your walls and ignoring the very obvious gaping hole nearby. Even the Infected Venoms will stupidly try to attack your walls rather than a building behind it. Your actual combat units aren't much better. They fire at nearby targets, but will otherwise just stand there and let the infected kill them Likewise, zombies who wander the open world will always attack the closest human, with no concern for anyone else. Thus the player can use a ranger to literally run circles around huge mobs of zombies, drawing all their attention while soldiers behind the ranger safely gun them all down. | |

Hero Unit: Introduced with the campaign mode. Currently there are Caelus, a Mighty Glacier, and Calliope, a Glass Cannon. Unusually, they are only somewhat stronger than basic infantry and are completely outclassed by higher tier units. This is not a problem, as they only appear in exploration missions where you can't produce units anyway. | |

They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_c1105f41 | comment |
Hold the Line: The objective of the survival campaign is for your colony to survive for a certain number of days, with 100 being the default setting, against waves of undead hordes. Alternatively, defeating the final horde will automatically count as a win. Note that difficulty is increased by reducing the number of days, as it will just spawn the same hordes, faster. The campaign has more variation in victory goals, but many missions include the goal of surviving the horde attacks. | |

Cycle of Hurting | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_c121be7b | comment |
Cycle of Hurting: Losing part of your colony to a horde makes surviving the rest of the mission that much harder. All the resources from the lost section are unavailable until you repair them, but if you lost something vitally important to restoring services, such as enough colonists to man the Tesla Coils, this process can be agonizingly slow. Rebuilding is needed to start advancing again, but by the time you're recovered odds are good it'll be too late to fight the next horde. | |

Scoring Points | |
They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: Survival maps have a final score based on a number of factors including: Number of infected killed; maximum colony population; and number of colonists infected. An overall score modifier is applied to this score based on the difficulty settings. Campaign mode tracks Victory points. These are tracked independently from Empire points (used to clear Infected mobs from the map) and Research points (used to improve the tech tree). Unlike the other two, Victory points have no practical application in-game. Failing a mission permanently reduces your score on that mission by 10% per failure, but the amount of Empire and Research points don't change. | |

Cannon Fodder: Your Soldier and Ranger units are the only units available without further research and will make up the bulk of your early game army. Rangers in particular can be produced cheaply in huge numbers. Even in the end game where the extremely destructive high tier units like the Thanatos and Lucifer are available, Soldiers remain so cost-effective in comparison that it’s a good idea to keep training them in significant numbers. | |

Mercenary Units: Once you've constructed an Inn, mercenaries will occasionally show up available for hire. They are significantly more expensive than regular troops, but they start out as veterans and are hired instantly with no training time. Sometimes elite high tier units like Thanatos and Lucifer will show up, enabling you to purchase them without the cost and time of researching the required tech or constructing their required buildings. However, the negative penalty inflicted on your oil production for maintaining them will still apply. | |

Faction Calculus: Crane's forces are Powerhouse. Their forces are nowhere near as large as the zombies but on an individual basis they are much stronger. A handful of even basic rangers can clear an entire horde given enough time. They also have far stronger ranged attacks (with most infected having none), and can build bases with walls and enormous fixed defenses. The zombies are the Horde. They are all about having massive numbers of weak units to overwhelm enemies through sheer numbers, with a few special units mixed in to take advantage of any gaps in the enemy defenses. | |

Construct Additional Pylons: Somewhat more justified than many other RTS games. Your goal is actually to push back the infected and establish a new Colony, not a military base. Most of your structures will be generating food, wood, stone and power used to construct a bigger and better city. Of course you will still need military training grounds and defensive structures to protect your growing colony. | |

Lightning Bruiser: The Titan mechs pack a hell of a lot of firepower, are extremely durable, and are almost as fast the Rangers. On the infected side you have the Infected Chubbies which move as fast as Fresh Zombies and are also the most durable Zombie unit. Despite their huge size, zombie giants have a speed rating of 4, the same rating as the player's rangers. This makes it extremely difficult to deal with in the open world, as they can outrun almost all human units, and can even catch up to Rangers unless they start running as soon as the Giant is in visual range. The one human unit that can outrun a giant is the mutant, which has a speed rating of 6. This, combined with their high survivability and damage output, makes them extremely effective for for performing crowd control duties when dealing with big mobs. | |

Fog of War: Of the standard variant, with the map being completely hidden until you map it out and any zombies only showing up when units or buildings can see them. Lookouts remove larger portions of the fog than standard buildings, while Radars reveal even more; this is useful for last minute unit adjustments when a horde arrives. If you have the time and resources, the Silent Beholder Wonder puts an observation deck on top of your Commander Center, revealing the entire map for the duration of the current mission. | |

Disaster Dominoes: Even a single, slow-moving zombie can destroy a building, turning the people within in to more, faster zombies. Since space is at a premium, building also tend to be built packed in as tightly as possible. As a result, the horde will typically spiral out of control far too fast for early game units to possibly control. Losing the game to a single zombie slipping in before the player has walls surrounding their colony is easily the most common way of losing. | |

They Are Billions (Video Game) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
The massively expensive Wonders that can be built all have incredibly powerful effects (like permanently revealing the entire map, instantly promoting all current and future units, or providing a bunch of oil). However you'll need several warehouses just to hold enough resources to start the very long research, then you'll have to spend even more to actually build the thing. That being said, in the later parts of the game, especially at easier difficulties, players will often find themselves with tons of resources to burn anyways. The Silent Beholder gets an extra helping of this trope. It's built on top of the Command Center, which has to devote all of its attention to the installation. Meaning that you can't build any other structures while the Silent Beholder is building. | |

Ambidextrous Sprite: The game has 2D, sprite-based graphics that are essentially a high resolution take on the original StarCraft. All sprite are ambidextrous, but it's hard to notice because most depict symmetrical characters with two-handed weapons. The Hero Unit Caelus is where it's most noticeable, since he wields a Hand Cannon with one hand, so his shooting hand switches based on what direction he's facing. | |

Tesla Tech Timeline: In addition to the overall Steam Punk tone, there are also hints of Tesla Tech. Tesla Towers transmit wireless energy to all buildings with their range. The Shock Towers also look closer to a Tesla invention than Steam Punk. | |

Dead Weight: The Infected Chubbies move as fast as Infected Fresh but are massive in comparison. They are also the second most durable type of zombie. | |

You Require More Vespene Gas: The game has a bunch of resources. Gold, Lumber, Stone, Iron and Oil are gathered over time by various buildings. Power, Food and Workers are added to a static pool whenever the appropriate buildings are finished, so if you need more you'll have to build more of them. | |
