The fact you can save Garson and get specific dialogue from doing so, has made this the GOAT of all the custom Campaigns I've played. Immaculate attention to detail.

@pcgamebeer

Sorry to hear you had problems. I spent so long on this map trying to fix the issues a few players like yourself encountered, but I could never re-create them myself, hence why I made the 2nd route as a work around. I think for most it works fine hence the stars, but for a few it just generates differently. For some reason TAB works in mysterious ways, such as the map generating tiles differently for some, but the devs never made much effort to look into this or fix the bugs in the game (such as the wave music bug). All I can offer is my apology and maybe watch this streamer play the map so you can see how it is supposed to progress:

the worst and the most problematic part of the series. after the titan run the north to the hiding spot at the beginning of the game, if it comes back to the south after the wave there will be always a lot harpies waiting for. there is no way you cannot pass. if you proced to the furher north walkers keep entangling your way. the mission will fail either way. this part doesnt deserve those stars.

@megamilze if you look further up on this page there is a link to the 28 Years Later collection and it's in there. Or try this direct link to Phase 8 normal difficulty:

I can't find part 8, there's just the harder version on the workshop

@ADVENT thanks for your feedback, really happy to hear you're enjoying it :)

That is so cool! I never imagined that a campaign could be so much fun in this game!

@AdamusTheGreat - the map hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years! I think a few players either couldn't follow the instructions or had a bug that I couldn't re-produce to fix. Glad it worked for you though and you've enjoyed my campaign :)

Some other custom campaign recommendations which you can find on the Workshop by going to Browse > Collections:

>Quintus Crane: The Following (a finished 12 map campaign, really great series but quite hard!)
>Wings of the Phoenix (a superb series but only half the maps are out)
>Aidan's Journey (again another nice series but only half way complete)

@Bruza - thank you and it would be nice to help on future official campaigns if they ever do any more :)

After reading so many people stating how hard it is to pass this map I expected trouble, but managed to go trough it at first attempt, on harder mode. Has it been cheesed down lately? I found that a key was to follow all your brilliant tips and I guess a bit of luck helped too.. BTW I wanna thank you so much for an amazing campain, I love it as much as original one, or even more. The game makers should hire you to help them and create a sequel :-) Could you kindly recommend any other custom map campain makers for this game? I trust your judgement considering how great your maps are. Thank you so much!!!

This series is great, thank you very much POBmaestro.
I wonder how creators at TAB are feeling, when a player, on first attempt makes a better campaign than theirs without a complex behind him??

I am going to play through 29 years later for sure. :)

@Varel - fair enough, there might be white walkers or something to the north xD

Great to hear you enjoyed the other maps though! There is an editor update coming at some point, though we've been waiting nearly a year now. Hope you make it through to the next set of 12 maps in the 29 Years Later custom campaign; I had a lot more experience when I made those so I've done a lot with scripting to recreate the train plus much more :)

It's fine just one map skipped isn't gonna be a problem anyway. It is a minor issue compared to the quality of your maps so far, but yeah I skipped it anyway XD. I just finished the phase 08 one where I am to build a base with smith after this harpy map. After all I really wanted to go south, not north :p
I wish devs would make it easier to mod tough, I suppose that's the reason we can't have custom portraits heroes, talent trees, new units etc , and that game could become endless with real mods potential.

@Varel - sorry you encountered the harpy bug. For me and my testers it does not happen so it is hard to know how to fix it. The alternate route simply bypasses the harpy problem. It doesn't ski anything else. It is not broken as you say if you choose to ignore a perfectly viable route around...

Decided to delete that map from my campaign.
I don't want to take an alternate route, i want the original experience but armies of harpies spawning south after the horde passed make it impossible and a broken map.

@kolomangal - I haven't heard of this before and I've been unable to re-create your problem - I loaded the live Steam version and the Titan always loads...can you take a screenshot and link it please? Also perhaps try unsubscribing and resubscribing in case it didn't download properly?

please help

I cant play because titan didn't load on the start of game

@JimmyJimmyJimmy - did you not read any of the in-game text? The outpost is under attack and you have to flee North with the Titan. You cannot beat the wave that attacks.

Broken- no power at the start and get overrun in 15 seconds or so

@fjc098 - the easy mode gives +6 oil at the start. The first gasoline is in the hiding spot (see picture 3 above), the second gasoline is on the other side of the truck. To get there, after the horde has passed (1 day 6 hours) you can either follow the power lines north and around the Village of Doom (Burley) or go back down through the Outpost - after you have passed it take a left into the mountains and then go up. Hope this makes some sense. Try and follow the path where there is less infected

@POBmaestro Thank you for your advice. I have been playing your game, which is very interesting, better than most designers.
Unfortunately, I cannot open https://www.youtube.com in China.Can you show the location of the gasoline on the mini-map, or the easy mode can cancel the shadow？

fjc098 - the text in game helps guide you, but of course it is in English. This video might help you until the game text is translated / 游戏中的文字有助于指导你，但当然它是英文的。在翻译游戏文本之前，此视频可能会对您有所帮助 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzwJZO12t1I

求攻略，这一关好难啊，一开始躲到北面的小路中，然后等僵尸大部队走了再杀出来，往北是一大群僵尸，南走也是一大群僵尸，汽油根本不够用

You can now watch the legend that is ImKibitz playing this map! https://youtu.be/NwGjPs92JfA

phase 8, wow :)

@base222222 - yes, then play Phase 8 :)

@base222222 - not a problem, glad you finished and sorry you could not understand the English. Hope you still enjoyed it :)

I'm sorry but everything is here to do?, find the oil?

Oh yes, I finished it, you have to apologize but I do not speak English and with google I can not translate the instructions you give during the game :)

You have to run north in the Titan. You can't win. See a run through here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzwJZO12t1I

sorry but how do you survive in the beginning? I put it easy but immediately arrive a lot of harpies and I die :(

@ {кян} Tim - thanks, you can see now why I wanted to release 7 + 8 together! Hope you enjoy 8X.

I've just uploaded a significant update that hopefully fixes the frustrating issues that some players have encountered. This update was only just released so you will need to restart TAB and ensure the workshop content has updated. One way to tell if you have the updated version is the gate to the top left of the Outpost has been removed.

Got to the oil platform on the second try. I can appreciate the effort put in as I can see the complexity of building this with the scripted waves etc. However it was over very quickly! Made it to the platform with 2 oil left on day 3. Looking forward to 8x

denisfrankovic045 - nice glad to hear that. Both routes are dangerous. The north route is a bit easier (especially on easy) and shorter. I didn't really want to make this obvious though as it is more a plan B for those that have the Harpy problem.

thank you i tried it now with the video and had no problem this time
and no i didn t take the north route as it did say it was dangerous and i was afraid i ll just get into the swarm that just passed

@denisfrankovic045 - sorry you had the problem with the Harpies on the way back south and thanks for your honest feedback. Did you try the north route that is suggested in-game as an alternative? I made a video of a play through here: https://youtu.be/gzwJZO12t1I

sorry i loved all your maps but it quite shit when you die 4 times because all of the harpys have not passed i once got throught to the part with the waves and i have no idea how to get past that since infected are everywhere no matter if you got past the waves or not
i was on easy and it wasnt because it was hard on challaging it was because i thought there wont be these kinds of problems
its not really your fault its more to TAB not liking these kinds of maps

@RomanticSeason - oops! Glad you found it in the end. It's surprising how in the panic it is easy to forget to check the mini map where you can see where it is :D

ROFL!!! After first 5 tries I thought this map is difficult AS F**K, but then once I found the oil platform. I was like OMFG I spent so much time trying to find you and you were in front of me the whole time...

I cleared in 3 days... with Garson alive.

New update is out which adds an in-game difficulty option to make it easier. Easier mode has less harpies, more oil and more time with running through the waves. Please let me know of any issues :)

Thanks, man, I'll try it out! But i guess that old colonel is not such a runner as a Smith. Anyway, learning phase 8 more careful must help with phase 7

10 oil should be plenty of oil to get you from the town of Buxton (building supplies) to the Douglas Complex. The key with the waves after this point is not to stop! I am adding and now testing an in-built easier difficulty. The wounded man gives you 1 oil and there should be a barrel there as well. For a couple of reason I wanted to give 11 oil but the game only allows barrels to give 10 so I chucked in a not so secret script that gives the extra 1 as well ^^

The thing is, wounded man gives me 1 oil 0_0. Is it ok?

It's 8 when the first huge wave starts

13 oil... sorry, maestro, but I have 16 at the moment i find a man with the dog. So I have 10 when approaching the town... Sorry to be annoying, but for me it really seems like something's wrong

@ GIR - thanks mate, glad you felt it was worth the wait!

@Lucifer there should be a fair bit of time, but it is designed so that it feels like a rush. You should have about 13 oil by the time the first huge horde has gone past. If it's not anything near this then something hasn't worked right in the script!

Quite challenging but really really cool :). Definitely worth the "bug wait"!

I see both of them, but it's just not enought... I'll try harder
