Zombie City-Builder RTS They Are Billions Gets Big Wonders in New Update

Numantian Games has released a new update for They Are Billions that focuses on the late game content.

The new update adds “The Six Wonders,” six new unique buildings that act as massive monuments to your colony which come with equally huge perks – while also costing “tonnes of resources.”

Featured above, you can view a new trailer focusing on the new wonder buildings. Some examples of bonuses include The Academy of Immortals, which makes all army units veterans, as well as the Victorious, a bunker that increases gold generation by 20% and can take quite the beating.

Here’s a rundown on each wonder:

The Lightning Spire
This portentous structure reaches toward the sky, capturing the energy of lightning for the colony. In addition, it extends the power supply, acting as a huge Tesla Tower.
  • Energy Supply: +800
  • Energy Transfer Radius: 30
  • Victory Points: +1500
The Atlas Transmutator
No one knows how it works, but this extraordinary and smoky metal spawn is capable of transforming common materials into precious oil.
  • Oil Supply: +40 (by transmutating 20 wood, 20 stone and 10 iron).
  • Victory Points: +2000
The Victorious
This unbreakable bunker stands as the most amazing symbol of the victory of humanity against the infected. It’s a beacon of hope and courage for everyone in the colony.
  • Colonists Hope: +20% gold generation for the surrounding dwellings.
  • Unbreakable: Defenses Life 8000, Armor 10.
  • Victory Points: +2000
The Academy of Immortals
In this glorious academy, the most famous heroes train the army to battle with the skills and courage of experienced veteran soldiers.
  • All army units and new units trained are veteran.
  • Victory Points: +1000
The Crystal Palace
This magnificent architectural wonder generates its own climate control environment, where the best crops bloom and thrive, feeding the colony even in the most barren lands.
  • Food Supply +800 on any terrain.
  • Victory Points: +1500
The Silent Beholder
It’s the most precise and complex machine ever created. The Beholder is installed on top of the Command Center revealing the entire map. Nothing can escape its prodigious eye.
  • Reveals all the map and enemies permanently.
  • Victory Points: +1500

In case you missed it, you can find a thorough playthrough of the game I streamed from an earlier build, here.

They Are Billions is currently available for PC via Steam Early Access. A release date isn’t confirmed, however a single-player campaign is planned to be released in the near future.
