You’ll need all the resources (and workers) you can get to survive. The more room you have, the more houses you can build, then farms, then quarries and mills. The amount of room in your colony is critical. You don’t want to waste resources building towers in the center of your colony that won’t ever see action later in the game after you’ve expanded.

The maps are surprisingly contained, and if it looks like you’re in an open field, you may just be in a large pocket of land.Ī soldier and a few rangers should be able to defend your early colony well. Don’t do it! Explore, expand, and look for better choke points you can use.

Walls are incredibly useful, and you’ll need plenty of walls (and towers) to survive for long in They Are Billions, but early on you might be tempted to surround your settlement with walls.
