We don't know, that's what we're trying to find out :p


Losing the story quests means just that - the story stops appearing. You only have recurring or side quests available. Usually this happens when some kind of trigger is skipped, or the logic breaks a bit. However, there are certain spots in the story that will cause the story to reappear. So if you lose the story, you can just avoid completing any side/recurring quests until you reach much higher continent maps, and then it's much more likely that when you complete a side/recurring quest, the story says "Oh! You're on that higher age's story now!" and jumps you there.

Even now, with Truth or Dare, that's essentially what we're doing. We're waiting at a place where we don't have a story quest (since Truth or Dare is a side quest) until we get further on the map, at which point we can trick the story into thinking we're farther along than we should be.

I see. That makes sense. I had forgotten exactly how it went given its been years since I went through it in indy and PE.

I could use some help please, I messed up and only have 2 techs left, and it looks like I need at least 5 to get hovers. Do I have to age up to get more techs available, or will that mess me up?

Where are you in the story, what age are you in, where are you on the map?

I am in Industrial, on the Bring in the Colonel story quest, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the last sector of the PME map (Ong Chu Coui Cung). All I have left on the tech tree in Industrial are breech loaders and infrastructure.

Does 2 techs left include the one for Bring in the Colonel?

You say you only have two researches left on the tech tree in Industrial. Before aging up, I suggest you check if there are tech tree gaps in earlier ages/eras.

That is the worst part for me, is I went back about a month ago and finished a few from past ages. I didn't realize at the time that I may need them, or I never would have done it, and now I regret it, but it's done now.

And just to make sure I have this right, on Thursday, right after the start of gbg, I finish the quest Truth or Dare, then negotiate the first sector on the FE map, then age up and follow the instructions for FE, right?

NO!!!

You never complete or abort Truth or Dare. Abort a side/recurring quest that is not Truth or Dare.

I negotiated the first sector on the FE map, and I aborted a quest, but it didn't trigger the FE story line. I have a story quest up (deduction) to take all scoutable sectors on the previous map. Is that how I trigger the FE story line or will that mess me up?

That's a TE story quest, so yes, you're on the right track. From here, just follow the quests until you reach the FE story and proceed as normal. Not sure how you got that one :)

Oh, I got a shoutout for my nonsense. Neat. Ha. That world is now half-Indy, half jungle themed, by the way. I was thinking about going back and taking all the "skip this" stuff. I am on "Persuasion," so I was looking on what to take first or what to do with "Truth or Dare."

Well, I got all the FE troops. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.

Gratz.
I suggest you consider not taking Truth or Dare even now. When you age up to Progressive, you might want to follow the advanced storyline with the newly available tech researches which will give you Arctic Future and Oceanic future units too. The Oceanic Turturrets are very good and having 4 hovers and 4 turturrets gives a lot of power in GBG.

[Added. I forgot you will have already aged up, right? because you didn't have the researches. Oh well good luck with working up to Oceanic]

Hello everyone...! thank you UBER for taking the time and effort to make this guide. I did follow the guide somewhat and I found some frustration that I hope I can get help from the forum.
I am now at Colonial Age with 3 techs unresearched (2 goods building, 1 military building), and one tech from the LMA.
My cMap is at the third one, province Harve is scouted, no fight or negotiate yet. I have cleared ALL sectors of the second continent map, based on the fight/negotiate recommendation/negotiate all sectors with natives.
My Story questline is at Towards Garrincton. and my Bonus questline is at Enemy Propaganda.

For now, I felt like im screwed with the current requirements for the story questline as I might need to research a tech to advance.
The questions are:
1. will I still be able to obtain 4 hovers in FE map using the FE Story questline alone? What should I do from now to make sure that I wont mess that up? (ie, moving towards the PE, PME...map until I get to FE map).
2. I understand that the bonus questline took over a RQ slot until whenever, is the bonus questline matter at all in obtaining HAU?? or it just prevent me from having 2 RQs? if thats the case, I can be ok with it until I got 4 hovers.
3. based on the reddit guide, I am NOT in Industrial Age yet, my Story questline is NOT at Truth or Date yet, my cMap is NOT at FE yet.
Can I still advance the Story questline (might require research tec) and stop when Truth or Date appears from now (CA)? and can I keep clearing sectors in continent map however possible and stop at FE map to follow instruction from FE map when I reached Truth or Dare? OR - I should follow the guide on every steps from the PE map/quest to get the other higher age units while advancing the cMap?

Its come down to how screwed I am with the second cMap mass clearing, and the techs I researched already. But I end goal is getting Hovers in Industrial Age, or worst case scenario, I will go to PE and sleep there (less prefer than Industrial). Please tell me what can I do to re-align the story questline and bonus quest to have a functional city and still getting those badass units to hammer GBG.
Thank you so much for your time. Please help me out with this.

My plan of action would be to complete Towards Garrincton and research the field guns. And avoid touching the bonus quest slot until as late as possible. The bonus questline only takes up 1 RQ slot so you still have one RQ slot left. The worst-case scenario is you have no RQ slots, but I don't ever recall that happening to me 2 years ago when I got my hovers.

I was in a similar position to you (i.e. found out about HAU after being in LMA and researched all techs and only had two saved up like you did with the goods buildings in CA). I even researched Police Stations costing a good few techs and I still got hovers in Indy. I haven't kept up with quest changes recently so you should still be able to get Hovers in Indy.

PS – I think it's much better to go for hovers and turtles in PE – you have more room for error in techs. As an ex-HAU owner: Indy hovers<PE hovers<PE turtles<Indy turtles.
