They Are Billions Picks Up Where Starcraft 2 Left Off

In December, Spanish studio Numantian Games released They Are Billions in early access. It took the PC world by surprise, providing fantastic real-time strategy elements and a nuanced take on the seemingly endless horde of zombie games. By all accounts, we can't wait for its full release.

In the video above, Mike Mahardy takes a deep dive into the inner workings of They Are Billions, and how it continues the legacy of stellar RTS games such as Starcraft 2, Command & Conquer, and Age of Empires.
