How to unlock and goals
Unlock method: It gets unlocked after completing The Narrow Pass mission.
Mission objective:
- Colony size: 2600.
- Survive the attacks of all hordes.
The mission
- During the mission, as mentioned in the introduction, you won't come across a single enemy, except the final hordes - so you can expand without worrying about fortifications.
- Use the units to discover the entire map - this will allow you to plan your expansion in a proper and optimal way.
- Start the colony expansion as usual - build 3 Tents, then Fisherman Cottage and Hunter Cottage. Then, use the surplus of gold to build several more Tents. When you get the next batch of gold, build a Sawmill.
- Start your expansion to the south - where you will find a stone deposit for the Quarry. You will find iron deposits west of the starting point. Several additional deposits are scattered throughout the map.
- It is worth building a lot of Sawmills here - wood will be useful for building numerous fortifications and improving houses. Use a large amount of green space to build Farms.
- Extend your influence to the whole map - this will be useful for building fortifications as well as for building a sufficient number of houses to reach a population of 2600 units.
- Start constructing fortifications around 45th day of the mission. Due to the lack of significant narrowing and terrain obstacles, it is worth to surround the whole colony with a wall - you have a lot of time for this (same for unit recruitment).
- When it comes to defense units, it is worth focusing on the recruitment of Soldiers and Snipers, in a ratio of about 1:1. If you have free funds, it is also worth building a few Ballista, which will enhance your defense.
Tips
A few tips related to The Oasis mission in They Are Billions:
- It is not worth recruiting Rangers here - their main advantage is the speed of movement and noiseless elimination of enemies, but both of these features will be useless here.
- Build at least a double-layered wall while constructing fortifications. In front of the wall, it's worth setting up several rows of Stakes Traps and, if your resources allow, placing several Wasps at close intervals - the cannons will help you defend against infected attacking the walls.
- If you have this option unlocked, it is worth improving at least the outer layer of the wall with Stone Wall. It has much greater durability (almost 3 times) than a wooden wall, so it can withstand the pressure of enemies for a longer time.
- It is worth to build the Inn as early as possible. In addition to offering you a substantial bonus on population growth and gold, it will allow you to recruit additional units - Scouts, Soldiers and Snipers of Veteran rank, as well as higher level units such as Thanatos, Lucifer and even a Titan. Their presence will significantly strengthen the defense.
