They Are Billions: Mission 13 - The Lowlands

Excluding some of the Infected Swarm missions, The Lowlands is the biggest challenge in They Are Billions yet. The reason for this is a small map, which is why a lot of enemies, especially the "runners" are right near the starting location. In this chapter, you will find a walkthrough and tips related to The Lowlands mission.

How to unlock and mission objectives

How to start: unlocked after completing The Lowlands mission.

Mission objective:

1. Colony population: 1,500.
2. Restriction: the mission must be completed within 70 days.

The mission

Place a Sawmill and Quarry directly next to the base.

1. As always, start with building 3 Tents, a Fisherman's Cottage and Hunter's Cottage. Once you get enough gold, place a Sawmill. If you still have extra gold, spend it on more Tents. Quickly establish a Quarry on the stone deposit which is near the main building.
2. Clear the terrains around the base - be careful not to attract too much attention.
3. Build Soldier's Center as fast as possible and start training units - you need them because the first horde will come on day 18. Besides that, there are plenty of enemy units around your terrains.
4. Surround the base with a single-row wall before day 4-5 - this will stop the attacks on your base.
5. Start expanding your territories to the south - there, you will find fewer enemies than in the north. Thanks to that, the expansion process will go smoother.
6. Start building fortifications on the 15th day - the horde will arrive on day 18. The Infected Swarm will most likely come from the north - place as many units and fortifications as you can in that area.
7. After defeating the first horde, focus on the rapid increase of your population - reaching the 1,500 colonists limit is possible before the second Infected Swarm arrives.

Tips

Surround your base with a wall as soon as possible to prevent enemies from attacking the main building.

Below you can find a few tips for The Lowlands mission:

1. Don't go crazy with expanding and fighting the infected located around the base - a significant portion of them are "runners" who can rush towards your units.
2. It is necessary to clear the map in step-by-step by sending a large strike group, instead of spreading troops throughout the map. It is also recommended to start expansion to the south, where there are fewer infected.
3. Try to quickly surround the base with a wall - enemies start near your base. A single "runner" can infect a few buildings - when that happens, you will fail the mission.
4. The Wasp turrets are perfect for this mission - they are great for protecting the protruding points even in from several enemies. Also, their construction cost is not excessively high.
