About this mod

Legacy of Quintus is a lite overhaul for They Are Billions campaign mode partially inspired by AoD and HGM which aims to enhance the Visual and Gameplay experience with a degree of respect for the Game balance.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Requirements:
They Are Billions Gog v1.1.4 or Steam v1.1.3.

Compatibility:
Will conflict with anything that modifies: ZXGame_Data, ZXCampaign.dat, ZXCampaignStrings.dat, ZXRules.dat, ZXStrings.dat, TheyAreBillions.exe. Existing save files are not compatible starting a new Game is required!

Install:
Unzip all files from Legacy of Quintus (Gog) or (Steam) in to the Game directory usually located at: D:\Games\They Are Billions, Go to where you just extracted the files look for and run JSGME.exe, Write "TAB-MODS" in the confirmation window and click OK then select and enable Legacy of Quintus.

Uninstall:
Simply run JSGME.exe again then select and disable Legacy of Quintus, For a complete wipe you may need to manually remove the following files from the Game directory: TAB-MODS, JSGME.exe, JSGME.ini, JSGMEUG.pdf. Do not change anything in the TAB-MODS folder and JSGME.ini files after installation doing so will mess up the entire process leaving JSGME unable to uninstall or restore files!

Features:
Multiple tweaks and changes to various aspects of the Game such as: Text, Conquest, Tactical and Attack Campaign, Victory and Defeat Conditions, Command Center, Tesla Tower System, Hero Tech Tree and Abilities, Regular Tech Tree, Human Units, Zombie Units and Infection Nests Factor. Extra features via Improved Textures and Sounds, TheyAreBillions.exe (Gog only), TAB Mod Loader (Steam only), DXVK and ReShade. Note: Text changes available only in English language the other supported languages are not included!

Hotkey System (Steam only):
Automatic occupation of towers by selected units within a radius of 10 сells - hotkey "F".
Toggle the visibility of health bars - hotkey "Y".
Change the game speed - hotkeys "+" and "-", "Pause" returns to normal speed.
Selecting veterans from a selected group - hotkey "V", using "Shift+V" - selecting regulars.
Dismissing all allocated units near the barracks - hotkey "Del".
Auto search for collectibles (Hero only) - hotkey "L".
Fast buying and selling on the market - hotkey "Ctrl" - "Shift".
Free reset of tech tree and hero perks - hotkey "None"
Saving at any time in the game menu - ingame keys "Esc" - "Save".

Known Issues:
DXVK may cause the Game to freeze while exiting through Main Menu. If you experience this problem just save as usual then hit the Window (Start) Key on your Keyboard and close the Game from Task Manager. I have no means to fix this issue and the only way to get rid of it is to completely remove the DXVK setup which will also cause ReShade to stop working.

Changelog:

Update 1 (28.04.2025):

• Added dispersion to the following Defensive Buildings: Executor 5 cells, Ballista 5 cells, Tempest (Shocking Tower) 5 cells, Helion (Wasp) 3 cells, Wood Tower 5 cells, Stone Tower 5 cells, Lookout Tower 10 cells, Radar Tower 20 cells.
• Added Gold, Workers or Food cost for Units that didnt have any such as Caelus, Calliope, Ranger depending on the mission type.

• Sniper View and Attack Range greatly increased but its Survivability and Fire Rate equally reduced also due to its powerful attack a small AoE added to mimic bullets passing through enemies.
