Last update: 24 July 2019
The El Dorado mission is one of another rather unusual stage in the campaign in They Are Billions. During the mission, your only goals will be to get a sufficient number of colonists and gold production - no need to knock out all the enemies on the map, destroy the Villages of Doom, or survive up to a particular day. In this chapter you will find the walkthrough guide and tips related to the Eldorado mission.
How to unlock and goals
How to unlock: unlocks after completing The Broken Land mission
Mission objective:
- Colony size: 1,800.
- Gold production: 8000.
The mission
- As soon as the mission begins, pay attention to the fragment of the open map in the upper right corner. There you will find huge deposits of gold, the use of which will greatly facilitate the passage of this mission, but which are protected by a ridiculously large group of enemies.
- Set up 3 Tents, 2 Hunter's Cottages, and one Fisherman's Cottage. When you collect 300 gold, build a Sawmill.
- In the west, you will find stone deposits, in which it is necessary to build a Quarry.
- Consider building walls on the west and east - there are a lot of enemies who need to be held back. If you have the opportunity to deploy one free Great Ballista, it is worth doing so - this machine will easily cope even with a large group of infected.
- Build Soldier's Center as soon as possible and begin recruiting them. They will be useful to deal with large groups of enemies that are waiting for you here. As soon as you have the opportunity, recruit snipers-they will cope with special infected. It is desirable that the proportion of Soldiers - the Sniper was here about. 3:1.
- Carefully explore the southern part of the map - there are huge groups of strong enemies. It is necessary to first erect the walls on the South side, and only then begin the elimination of local infected - this will protect the colony from too large a group of infected.
- Once you are able to (i.e. you have about 30-40 Soldiers and 10-15 Snipers), start the expansion towards the previously mentioned gold deposits. Build a Quarry there to significantly increase the amount of gold mined.
Tips
There are a lot of enemies guarding the gold deposits, however clearing this site is key.
Finally, we present some tips to help you complete this rather short mission, namely:
- Plan the expansion of the colony accordingly. It concerns, first of all, the southern side of the map - there are huge groups of strong enemies that are very easy to provoke, which will quickly complete the mission. Build at least 1 row of wall on the South side before you start cleaning these areas.
- You don't need to clear the whole map - during the Eldorado mission you don't need to destroy all the enemies. There are thousands of infected here, it is necessary to focus only on those who are directly by the colony, and those located in the gold deposits.
- Don't even think about cleaning up a group of enemies in gold fields without a proper army. 30-40 Soldiers and 10-15 Snipers will allow you to cope with them without any problems, without the risk of provoking large groups.
