You have decided the player should not have the right to edit their own save, something I won't debate here. What I will say is that if it's intended to be an anti-cheat, you should make sure the anti-cheat is as strong as it can get, otherwise you're locking players out of save edits without deterring all cheaters.
tl;dr You should consider swapping to something with more state in the crypto stream. The current save format uses the decades-old PKzip crypto, which is vulnerable to KP attacks and also limits the *effective* password length to 13 or so characters regardless of how long the password is. This is because since there's only 13 bytes in the state, many different passwords (aka shorter than the ones you've picked) will also map to the same internal state, similar to how X mod Y will have many different X that map to Y. In this case, it's Password mod 13chars, which means ...

This game should have a speed up option since its literally you doing all the building and zombies that are preplanned to attack you on specific days. its ♥♥♥♥ that you spend 2+ hours on a map and die and have to start all over again when i coulda done that 2 hours in 30 minutes with a speed up option.

Hello
This option is it is not viable right now, anyway Dev team are studying that option.

Originally posted by ekidhardt: So I'm playing the campaign map, and let's say I beat a map on easy and I get the points.
Then I do it again (same map) on very hard. Will I get the difference in the points between the two?
Or is every map a 1 shot deal, and if you beat it on easy, you'll forever be stuck with few points and then get screwed later on?
I'm wondering if I need to start every map on 800% in order to get the points..
Thanks!

Hello
Replay mode is only for fun, you should starts again a new campaign for try the same mission in other hardest mode difficult

Hello,
You have to install SlimDX to make the game runs.
Usually the instalation file is in this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\They Are Billions
Use this executable file ---> https://imgur.com/eKDnnOP

Just want something off my chest. I myself among many others were dissapointed in the campaign (and I will post my own review soon, along with suggestions on a per mission base to improve). I guess we all expected a good decent variety of missions and not always the same generic ones. It could have been objectively better.
There might be a huge amount of dissapointment running with the developers due the criticism they had to face the last few weeks. Usually that ends up with atleast questioning if they should put effort in any further development for sequels or dlc.
I think I speak for any critical mind out there, but do please work on a follow up, because basically you have developed all the tools necessary! You have a big range of decor pieces, you have a good sound map editor that will allow much more complex and engaging campaign missions, you got the experience to create new units, decor pieces, etc. In short, even though the campaign ...

Originally posted by Tynendir: Introduction
Many people were disappointed when the campaign was released. I heard a lot of comments such as the fact that the swarm and hero missions weren’t interesting or too hard. I also heard a lot of “git gud” comment but that’s another subject. Many people and well-known streamers complained about the difficulty (or the lack thereof) of some of the missions (notably the build for X days missions without being attacked). I also was disappointed for the reasons pointed above but mostly because of the fact that the campaign could have been much more and would have allowed for the game to reach its full potential. I am well aware that a game never lives up to the hype surrounding it and that technical limitations exist but, in this post, I will try to explain why the campaign felt underwhelming for a lot of players and how it could have been improved. It is my hope that the developers will learn from this experience and deliver with a much bette...

Originally posted by Masonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn: Just saying, everyone is wrong and terrible at the game.
The game is too easy, and too hard.
It is fun, and also very unfun.
Campaign sucks, and I haven't even played it.
Survival is the only game worth playing, because ♥♥♥♥ I love to hate myself.
Challenge of the week needs a difficulty disclaimer, otherwise I'll just keep playing on max survival instead of bothering with any game that isn't a 12 hour slow walk to forcible ♥♥♥♥.
Thank you developers for Caustic Lands, as I've seen it as better punishment than repeatedly slamming my genitals in a heavy metal drawer.
One day I will win at max everything. Or I will die.
Sincerely,
400 hours of my life so far.

Originally posted by Captain Australia: Just my own personal wishing well on three features I'd like to see in the campaign:
1) The option to multiply the number of zombies in timed spawns (in addition to the outright difficulty levels easy->apocalypse). Just an extra option to further ramp up the difficulty for your game wherever you sit on the overall difficulty ladder.
- lets say you're playing on easy but can't win a challenge map (but still would like a 1.5 kind of escalation in challenge - the 14/28/etc day timed spawns can be made 2x or 3x harder
- or at the other end, you're in apocalypse and want even MORE .. so you still have the same amount of time to prepare and the same level of ambient zombie population .. but you can sleep in peace knowing the timed zombie waves will be even more mind boggling with 2 or 3 times the population
2) Option to continue campaign maps
I don't mind meeting the mission criteria and working a against a timer, it just feels a bit repetitive ...

Then you have 2 grenades again, and more, near six little hordes. Okay, lets try to kite all together to kill with 2 grenades.
On second attempt doing this i have died and did this:

I was really looking forward to play this game. This is sad for me. : (

I've already did the following tip and deleted Steamworks.NET.dll:
Delete the following files in the installation folder that should not be there are they are obsolete and can cause conflicts:
DXVision.dll
DXPlatform_Desktop.dll
ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll
Steamworks.NET.dll
All others are not available for me.
