[Introduction/Patch Info] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I made this Earth 2150: Lost Souls FAQ as a hobbie to spend some of my free time. After requesting for a FAQ for this game and waiting for about a month, i decided to make one myself, since nobody else seemed to want to. I might make some occasional grammar misktakes, since my mother language is not English, but Portuguese. So, please mail mail me if you find a spelling mistake, have any questions, requests, tips or strategies. My e-mail is right at the top of the FAQ, you can't miss it. When you mail me, please put the topic as something like "Lost Souls FAQ" so i recognize it and prioritize it, because i get alot of junk. I got this game in a unusual way. My favorite PC games magazine (MegaScore) offers a complete game every month, very old games like Grand Theft Auto, but in June i noticed that they were offering Lost Souls. Being fammiliar to the Earth 2150 series, i immediately bought the magazine. (only cost me 5!!) ***Patch Info*** The v1.1 patch is avaliable at some game sites and can be easily found with www.google.com. But to save you the trouble, the site where i downloaded it was: http://www.gamesdomain.com/patches/e/4881.html Altough the patch was in german it seemed to work fine on my english version of the game, although i tought at first it didn't installed because the version number in the main menu didn't change. Here's what the patch does: (i used a language translator and some things were not correctly translated so i modified them a little) - Improvement of the play balance - optimization of the Gameplay - lowering of the degree of difficulty in some ED missions - and various little things... NOTE: After the installation of the Patch, we recommend you to start the mission and/or campaign again. Some Savegames cannot be loaded possibly any longer correctly. To install the patch, just press the "Ja" and "Ok" buttons and you're ready to go. =========================================================================== _______________ 2.

[Story] ŻŻŻŻŻ Years of wars between the United Civilized States and the Eurasian Dinasty had led to disastrous consequences troughout the planet Earth. Like this was not enough, when the ED used nuclear warheads to destroy a UCS base in the North Pole, the effect of the nuclear explosions caused the Earth to change orbit right towards the Sun. Glaciers melt, the sea rose to a threatening level, and meteors buried entire parts of the Earth. Scientists in the Lunar Corporation soon realized the catastrophic events that were about to happen. Since the Moon follows the Earth's orbit they would also be pushed towards the Sun. Soon, UCS and ED scientists realized this too. The only hope left for these races was to escape the doomed planet. All races started to work on projects that would able them to escape Earth. However, even in times like this they refused to ally and make a single project for all of the world's population. Perhaps that project would be too big to function properly. So they started fighting for the Earth's resources to finance their own projects. All races succeded in completing their projects and the majority of the world's population was able to escape the dommed planet. The people left behind were to become known as the LOST SOULS. However, they would not give up so easily. They tried to scrape the last of the Earth's resources in a desperate attempt to escape the pending catastrophe... =========================================================================== ________ 4. [Controls] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You can bind your controls by starting a game, selecting "Options from the menu, and then selecting "Keyboard". Although i recommend the default configuration, you are free to change it to your liking. You should play the tutorial to learn the basics of the game. However, the tutorial doesn't teach you some keys you should also know, so that's why i'm here. F3 - I don't know if the tutorial talks about this key, but it enables you to put weapons and shields in the buildings you own. F9 - Shows the range of your power plants. (Useless for LC) Num Lock - Pauses the game. looks like it's impossible to bind it to the Pause key so the developers decided to put it in this key. Pausing is incredible useful as you can still give orders when paused and will give you the ability to issue orders as fast as the computer. Imagine that a Plasma Bomber from the UCS comes and tries to drop a plasma bomb on your only power plant. Your defenses aren't fast enough to wipe him out, so what you do is pause the game, calmly go to the F3 menu and buy a shield for the power plant. The bomb will fall and the shield will absorb the damage, and your defenses will eliminate that pesky bomber without having to loose power to your whole base, which is pretty bad. As a final note, you should be always paused while doing something that doesn't require time advancing, like giving orders to build the base. Caps Lock - By holding this key down the selected unit will enter Quick Recording Mode. This is another very useful key especially for ED and UCS. You will notice that when you give 2 building orders to a construction unit it will eraser the older one. To avoid this you can hold Caps Lock so you can give a list of things to do to a Gruz or Mammoth (something like building a power plant, 2 weapon prod. centers and a supply depot) and the unit will build all the building one by one without having to wait for it to finish one so you can order it to build another. This also works for giving a platoon a list of targets and to give a recon unit waipoints to patrol. Num Enter - When having a building project selected, pressing this key will turn the project 90ş degrees right so the building can be positioned in a certain direction. Space Bar - Takes your camera to the last event. What this means is, if you hear a platoon saying "We're under attack!" press space bar and the camera will zoom to the platoon that is under attack. Control - You can select multiple units by clicking them with the Control key held. Assigning Groups - You can assign groups to have a better coordination of your military forces. WARNING: Don't confuse groups with platoons, they are different things. A platoon changes behaviour of units, a group doesn't. To assign a group, press Control + 1-9 keys at the same time. Then, to select the group, just press the number key you used to make the group. You can also assign a group to a platoon. =========================================================================== _________ 5. [The Races] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ As you may already know there are 3 races in this game, the ED (Eurasian Dinasty), the UCS (United Civilized States) and the LC (Lunar Corporation). They are very different from each other, but the ED and UCS have some similarities, like needing a builder unit, having minelayers and other things. The 3 sections below will discuss the 3 races and the most effective configurations for them. Feel free to mail me with your opinions. My e-mail is at the top of this FAQ. =========================================================================== ________________ 5.A [Eurasian Dinasty] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The ED is the most primitive of the races. Most of it's technology is based in 20th century and their armies are made of tanks with with cannons and rocket launchers. However don't underestimate this race since it still has some surprises at hand. The units aren't the most effective of the game and the defense building aren't that effective too, but nuclear missiles and bombs are still in use on the ED and can be devastating. They also have the strongest navy of all races. The resource excraction method isn't the most easy to set up but extracts rather quickly if the mine and the refinery are very close to each other. Their power plants are nothing special, they deliver power to a small area and you can channel power if you put them close enough to each other. Those power plants are nuclear but they don't trigger any nuclear explosion when are destroyed. Why? Looks like the ED invented an automatic defense system. Wonder why the UCS didn't found out this... Good unit configurations: - Ural with 2 120mm cannons + Rocket Launchers - Ural with 2 Nuclear Rocket Lauchers - Ural with 2 Artillery Cannons - Han with Bomb Bay Good defensive structure configurations: - Heavy tower with 120mm Cannon + AA gun + 105mm Cannon - Heavy tower with Heavy Rocket Launcher + 2 105mm Cannons NOTE: I don't use laser cannons because although they are pretty useful in the beginning of the campaing, as soon as enemies start getting shields and heavy weaponry not even the heavy laser cannon stands a chance. Cannons are also much more useful because they don't have to rip trough shields and they are much more useful to destroy defensive buildings since they have a very large range. The ED is a good race for an experienced player, who can hold off his base until he gets his nuclear silos up, then all hell breaks loose! Heheh, buildings flying trough the air in pieces! :P =========================================================================== _________________ 5.B [Lunar Corporation] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I will risk saying the LC are the most technologically advanced. They had not any army at the start of the war, but were able to invent some new weapons that would make them stand a chance against the well-trained armies of the UCS and ED. The LC has some powerful units like the Thunderer with sonic cannons and the Crusher is not bad either, but they also have a unit called the Crion which seems to be a little hidden.(not avaliable on Research Tree, only on Research Center menu) The Crion plasma artillery launcher is the most powerful energy weapon in the game, burning down shields in seconds and ripping trough the toughest armor like it was butter. (hum... i didn't exagerate a little in there, did i? :) Their defense building aren't that great and that laser wall just sucks. Just blow up a transmitter and a huge hole opens up! They don't have a navy, and wouldn't make sense either since the vehicles float both on land and water. The easiest resource extraction method belongs to the LC, consisting only of installing the mine and leave it there, so easy because the energy of the LC distributes itself trough all the map. Since we are talking about power, I HATE LC POWER MANAGEMENT! Why? Because just to get the damn power working, you need to get a solar power plant, then put a bunch of solar panels around it, then you need to get some batteries to store energy to the night. Why the hell do they care so much about the environment??? The planet is gonna blow up, for Christ sake!!! Oh, just to finish, a great aspect of the LC is that all buildings regenerate health if they are not doing anything. Good unit configurations: - Crusher With Heavy Electro-Cannon + Electro Cannon + Heavy Rocket Launcher - Crion with Plasma Artillery - Thunderer with Heavy Sonic Cannon Good defensive structure configurations: - Guardian with 2 Heavy Electro-Cannons + 2 AA Rocket Launchers - Main Base with 2 Heavy Electro-Cannons + 2 Electro-Cannons + 2 AA Rocket Launchers (Yes, the main base if very though and holds 4 weapon placements) The LC is great for a newbies, since everything regenerates quickly and don't have to worry with minelayers and stuff like that. Plus the units aren't very expensive. =========================================================================== _______________________ 5.C [United Civilized States] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The UCS army is based mostly in 2-legged robots with a few exceptions. They have the toughest vehicles in the game and their weapons also dish out ALOT of damage, thanks to the plasma cannon, which is a great weapon both for units and buildings, even with shields. The UCS also have the toughest defense buildings.(seems they are toughest in everything, doesn't it?) The fortress can hold 4 weapon placements much like the Main Base of the LC, but is much more effective due to the heavy plasma cannons it can support. They also have anti-tank barriers that are much like the ED's walls, although i think the tank barriers are weaker. Now for the bad aspects, the UCS navy is much weaker than the ED navy. (The ED navy can have long-range rocket launchers, 120mm cannons and artillery on their Leviathans) They also have a crappy resource extraction method which consists of a refinery and a bunch of harvesters. This doesn't seem bad, but if you have lots of harversters, they'll crowd the resource area and they won't have space to move from the resources to the refinery, thus making the resources come VERY slowly. The UCS have those huge power plants that give 400 power and also have transmitters to channel the power to another areas. While it seems useful, losing a transmitter might cost you one of your bases, so just in case, i make a power plant in every base, THEN i connect them to other bases if i need more power. The UCS also have shadow technology which can make all units in range invisible to the enemy. Good unit configurations: - Jaguar with Heavy Plasma Cannon + Heavy Rocket Launcher + Shadow Gen. - Dragon with Plasma Bomb Bay Good defensive structure configurations: Fortress with 2 Heavy Plasma Cannons + 2 AA Plasma Cannons The UCS should be a good race to any player since it's very balanced, combining good defense with good units. =========================================================================== _________________ 6. [Singleplayer Tips] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Campaing: - In some missions, the enemy has limited resources. Defend your base until their resources get depleted and only attack at that time. Destroying the base will be much easier. BUT, in other missions, the enemy has unit injections that keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger... you get the point. With these kind of missions, destroy the base as quickly as you can or you'll have a horde of pissed off enemies smashing your base! :P - Never leave units or buildings in the mission area. There's no time limit unlike the original Earth 2150, so take your time to evacuate everything. - Building a complete base in a mission area is a waste of your precious resources. A mission base only needs a Landing Base, a Power Plant, a Supply Depot and defense. Sometimes a HQ is nice too. - It's possible to sell buildings both in the main base and the mission base. When a mission is complete, sell all buildings on the mission base except the landing zone to get some of your resources back. (You get 50% of the resources back when you sell.) - Only have 3 Research Centers. More than that is a waste of resources. - The Earthquake Generator is a very good weapon to attack an enemy since the AI doesn't build tunnel entrances. - Every time you finish a mission, build up some platoons if you haven't any from the last mission. Who knows if you'll need an army on the battlefield as soon as you start. - When you finish a mission and still have resources on the mission, you can just end it and the resources will be transfered automatically. (Thanks to Mark Thompson for this tip.) - The "Defense" function in the Headquarters increases your defense by maximizing range of weapons. This is the only useful function for the HQ in the campaing. (Thanks to Michael Lo for this tip.) =========================================================================== ___________ 7. [Walktroughs] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The following walktroughs offer strategies, tips and hints for the campaing mode. It will obviously contain major spoilers and campaing events. Reading them could ruin your fun of playing the campaings, so, if you don't want that to happen, don't read ahead. The walktroughs are all based on Easy dificulty. Afterall, if someone is having trouble passing a mission, he shouldn't be doing it in Medium or Hard in the first place. In the camaping on Normal mode, the computer also gets a Main Base, thus making the missions very harder. You should play the game in the following order: ED-LC-UCS. Unlike the original Earth 2150, Lost Souls has its campaing connected to each other, so to better understand the story, you should play the game in the above order. When i talk about building a platoon, it generally means about 10-15 units, unless otherwise especified. =========================================================================== _____________ 7.A [ED Walktrough] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ In the ED campaing you play the role of General Federov, receiving your orders directly from Czar Vladimir II. Don't follow his orders blindly, trust me :) Abbreviations: MB - Main Base MA - Mission Area PP - Power Plant WPC - Weapons Production Center VPC - Vehicle Production Center SD - Supply Depot HT - Heavy Tower LZ - Landing Zone 20mm - 20mm Machine Gun 105mm - 105mm Cannon R - Rocket Launcher L - Laser Cannon I - Ion Cannon AA - AA gun 120mm - 120mm cannon hR - Heavy Rocket Launcher hL - Heavy Laser Cannon hI - Heavy Ion Cannon ART - Artillery NG - Noise Generator If you ever played F-22 Lightning 3, you'll notice that there's a ED night music very similar to one from that game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I had some problems with the ED campaing. In Mission 6, apparentelly the video was corrupted making my computer crash while in the middle of the video. Strangely enough, i found no way of stopping the video before it crashed. If you have the same problem, go to your game folder and look for a folder named "Video". Now make a backup of the files ED_M05.wd1 and ED_M06.wd1. Now rename ED_M06.wd1 to ED_M05.wd1 and vice-versa. Now you will have Mission 5 playing Video 6 and Mission 6 player Video 5. Enter the game and start mission 6. You will see the video from the last mission and when its over save the game and return to your files folder. Overwrite the videos with the backups you made earlier. Now the game should be just like before and you will be able to play Mission 6. **********MAJOR SPOILER********** I found out that you can play the videos by running them with Windows Media Player. This can be used to see the end of Video 6, but if the player reads the damaged part it will crash the player. ********************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== ____________ 7.A0 [ED Main Base] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Alright General Fedorov, from now on, i will be your personal military tactical advisor, by order of the General Command. Let's take a look at your MB... Jesus Christ, that place is a dump! Begin by building 5 L Siberias and 5 20mm Siberias. While you wait for them to complete, build another mine and start extracting ore. Use the HTs to destroy as many wreckage as you can. (press "A" and then target the wreckage) We're gonna need that space. After finishing that task, sell all the HTs. Some of your units should now be complete. Use them to destroy the rest of the wreckage. Now, order the Gruz to make 3 additional WPCs. (South of the sold HTs is just fine) We're done with the MB. You can now procced to the first mission. =========================================================================== __________________ 7.A1 [Mission 1: Finland] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mission was altered by the patch because it says my save files might be imcompatible with the mission file. At this time, i don't have the patience to do the mission all over again with the patch installed so i will tell how i passed it before installing the patch. WARNING: On the patch readme it said: "- Senkung der Schwierigkeitsgrade in einigen ED Missionen" Translating, it means lowering of the degree of difficulty in some ED missions. If some missions on ED seem too hard for you even in easy mode, consider downloading the patch. (site on Introduction/Patch Info section) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dificulty Level: Easy without Patch Version Procced to the northeast corner of the map. Eventually, you'll end up at the LC base. Rip a hole trough the base always heading west. At the northwestern corner of the map there are Repair and Ammo artifacts that constantly respawn. Destroy the whole base, and consider destroying the guardians from a safe distance. When you have done, build up a base with a WPC, VPC and a SD. Get 2 Boyars. Now, let's get that ore. There are 2 deposits, one on the LC base location, and other directly east. Extract them both. If you haven't lost too many units you will be able to hold off the LC with the units you already have. Just put them in a line in front of your base. When your quota reaches 50000, you pass the mission. =========================================================================== ________________ 7.A2 [Mission 2: Korea] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Medium without Patch Version --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another mission that was altered with the patch. And guess what, i don't have the patience to repeat it either, but my walktrough SHOULD be compatible even if you have the patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So you start with a Gruz. First thing to do, connect your MB to your MA by building a LZ. Now go to your MB and you should notice a large helicopter above another LZ. This is the Ukraine, your transporter of units and resources between your bases. Get those Siberias you made at the start of the campaing inside the Ukraine and send it to the MA. Now get some PPs up, and start a mining operation with that ton of resources. Now make a SD and get some boyars from your MB and put them to work. You'll notice that most of your bases will be a LZ, PPs and a SD, plus defense, from now on. It will be necessary to equip your buildings with hRs. To improve even more your defense, consider building small towers. Go to your MB and make some STEALTHs L. You also have a research for Helicopter Rocket Launcher if you're interested. If you find yourself not doing anything use the Ukraine to transport ore from the MA to the MB, to avoid doing that at the end of the missions, which can be really boring. You can also use the minelayer to put mines at west and south of your MB. --WARNING: You can't produce minelayers yet, and that's the only one you have, so don't let it get destroyed. You'll need him further in this mission.-- --NOTE: Rearming a minelayer costs money.-- When your STEALTHs L are ready send them to the MA. --NOTE: At night, a STEALTH with lights on will be unable to cloak. Turn his lights off to enable cloaking. Having lights turned off at night results in a decrease in speed and enemy detection.-- Now it's time to grill those pesky robots! And they won't even see who's grilling them!! Now we need a support platoon to the STEALTHs L. Build a bunch of STEALTHs R. (10 is fine) You should now hold position until the enemies attack decrease dramatically. That's because the enemy's resources are depleted. (You can skip this part but it will be much harder to take out the bases.) Southwest of your base is a UCS outpost. The Boyar is a good recon unit so use it if necessary. Now have the STEALTHs L enter the outpost and heat up the power plant until it explodes. Destroy all small towers as well since they don't need power. Now you can have your STEALTHs R to destroy the rest and they are much faster. Why didn't you use STEALTHs R right at the start? Well, because the laser cannon is a energy weapon, so it regenerates ammo by it self. If you were attacking with STEALTHs R when they got out of ammo, the Boyar would come just to be shot down by air defenses. When you get rid of the outpost, go South of it and cross the bridge. After crossing that bridge, keep getting South until you see another bridge. (it's west of the UCS base) There's a tiny outpost here. Wipe it out. After that bridge, keep going east towards the UCS base. You should see another outpost just before it. Have the STEALTHs L take out the transmitter and the STEALTHs R to do the rest. Now comes the hard part. The UCS base is filled with mines all over the place! Go get the minelayer wherever it is. Now you'll have to make hit 'n' run tactics. The minelayer has a detector in front of it that detects enemy mines and detonates them. Use the minelayer very carefully and if it gets destroyed load the game. You can also use Fake TTs to detonate the mines but they cost 50 and 50/per mine is a little expensive. --NOTE: The Minelayer can only detonate mines in front of him but his radar detects mines at much bigger distances, so you can use this to make a safe way to your STEALTHs-- I came to the point where i had to sacrifice some STEALTHs to open up a way to the power plant. Once you destroy that one things get alot easier. Beware, there's a spider radar north of that power plant, close to another power plant, which you also have to destroy. To destroy the spider radar, only use one STEALTH L, because if you take them all your whole platoon will be massacrated. The spider radar has no shields, so will be quick to eliminate. Your STEALTH is doomed tough, even without radars it can't cloak on the aim of various UCS guns. After destroying that 2 power plants, there should be even other one at east. When all power plants and small towers are destroyed, detonating mines and destroying the base should be piece of cake. When all buildings on the _MAP_ are destroyed, you pass the mission. Don't forget to evacuate all units and resources before you finish the mission. You should now have about 250000 resources in your base. =========================================================================== _______________ 7.A3 [Mission 3: Iran] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Easy After receiving the briefing, quickly destroy the LC threat. Now you should receive some repairers and a Gruz. Build an LZ and repair all the buildings in the base. You can now make Kruszchevs. They are very good with 120mm and Rs. Make a platoon of them in your MB or MA as you also have alot of WPCs in the MA. (A platoon should be always bwteen 10 and 15 units for better coordination.) There will be aircraft attacking from the Northwest, and ground units from South and East. Be sure to cover those sectors with pillboxes and consider putting some defense around the orange buildings too. Get the mines to work and some Boyars on the SD. Also, bring all military units from your MB to help protect the area. If you still have some STEALTHs from the last mission, you can use them to explore the area. Defend the MA until the time expires. Now you must deliver those trucks to the Southwest corner of the map. If you had unit transporters, this would be piece of cake, but since you haven't let's get to work. Those Kruszchevs you made at the start, get them to the south of the base with the other platoon of Kruszchevs you had right at the start. There's a valley here which is where you need to go. It goes right to the LC base, but just before it, there should be a way south, which is where you need to go. It should look like this: LC Base | | / \ \ \ _ \ \ MA __/ \ \ \ | | \ \ \ | | \_/ \_/ | Objective Go trough the valley with your Kruszchevs and the trucks behind them until you reach your objective with the trucks. Get the Kruszchevs back to the LZ and send all of your units to the MB. Sell the base and evacuate the resources. You can also evacuate the trucks and they'll make good recon units in the next missions. You should now have about 400000 resources in your base. =========================================================================== ___________________ 7.A4 [Mission 4: Bulgaria] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Hard Alright, be very quick establishing your defense, send ALL units on the MB and build alot of pillboxes, heavy towers and a SD, because the UCS are coming, and they'll come hard. Building some Caspians AA isn't a bad ideia too. Once you have a platoon on the MA, quickly procced South of the base and look for a bridge. Destroy it so the UCS ground tanks won't devastate your base. There's another bridge that also needs to be taken out. It's Southwest of the bridge you just destroyed. (Just follow the river) You can also choose to mine the bridge areas but that won't stop the UCS for much time. There's ALOT of resources right East of your base, so be sure to extract them. Consider producing Urals and Hans HR aren't bad either. All your buildings should be armed with 120mm and HR, and some AA too. Since you destroyed the bridges, the UCS can't come with Jaguars and they'll acumulate at the shore of the river. If you go too much South, you might catch with grenade, so stay as far as possible from the river. You should now hold position until you made yourself an army. Be sure to build STEALTHs I, as they will also prove very useful for a boost to your credits. If you survive enough time, you'll notice the UCS attacks stop. The UCS base just went bankrupt :) But you have a huge problem now, you can't attack the enemy becaust there's this massive army that acumulated on the other side of the river. Yes, if you haven't destroyed the bridges, you would have to defend yourself against that! You can't take out the units with 120mm because they have grenades, and can't take them out with STEALTHs either because they have radars. You could always get a squad of Hans and try to destroy the radars, but this is rather dificult to accomplish. You could also do Hit 'n' Run, but i came up with a better, although expensive ideia. Get some minelayers and a Gruz the the little bridge that hasn't any enemies near. The goal here is to rebuild the bridge and lure the enemies to your base causing them to fall on a trap. To do this, put mines from the bridge to your base where you think the UCS will go trough. Now with the Gruz, build some HTs near the bridge to destroy any weak enemies that aren't worth going trough the mines. Now you should also have a platoon of Urals or Hans to intercept any enemies that get lucky with the mines. Now, to make this even more effective, put a platoon of STEALTHs I near the bridge with the HTs. They will disable any unshielded units while the HTs finish them off. If you manage to capture some units in the proccess, even better. Now you should have a very effective deathtrap. Rebuild the bridge with the Gruz and and get it to a safe place. The enemy might have to be lured. To do this, get a Boyar, and approach the UCS units, then run away. This must be done slowly enough for the units to lock on the Boyar, and fast enough not to loose it. If you do it right the UCS will start following the Boyar, so put it in your base. The AI will soon notice that there's a way to reach the base (the bridge you just rebuilt) and go right into the trap. Now the massacre begins!!! The HTs probably won't last long against the grenade launchers but use the STEALTHs I to increase their survival time. Eventually you'll loose the towers and when a radars comes in, your STEALTHs will be spotted. You can now retreat to the base, further luring the enemy into the trap, or you can disable as much units as you can so you can then capture them. The choice is yours. Most of the army will be massacrated, and if a robot manages to get halfway done, wipe him out with your Urals/Hans. You might also see harvesters which when captured, will make good money recycled. After this, taking out the base will be piece of cake. Note that the UCS will still receive Plasma Panthers from time to time. You can now choose to wipe out the base or capture it and sell it. There won't be much, if any radars on the base so feel free to use your STEALTHs I but leave some of them in the bridge in case some Panthers manage to get there. When you destroy all UCS structures, you pass the mission. You should now have about 300000 resources in your base. =========================================================================== _________________ 7.A5 [Mission 5: Russia] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Medium Ok, let's get that platoon moving towards the rebel base. You won't find any enemies along the way, so don't need to worry. When you arrive, watch the small cutscene. It seems the General Command is betraying us! Help defend the base against enemy troops. Now with the Gruz, build both resource locations and and the right one, build a PP, a LZ and a SD. Leave your platoon helping your new ally. You don't need absolutely any defense on your bases since the enemy concentrates on your ally. Build some defense around his base to help protect him and bring units from the MB. Wait for the enemy base to stop sending units and then attack him with your platoons of Urals. Remember that 120mm have alot of range and can shoot down defenses without getting shot at. You can also use the usual STEALTHs I to capture enemies if you want, but destroy the enemy base is much quicker. When all enemy building are down, you pass the mission. You should now have about 450000 resources in your base. =========================================================================== ______________________ 7.A6 [Mission 6: Dam, Part I] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Medium In this mission you must escort at least 2 trucks to the dam so they can blow it up. You start with a base already extracting resources. Build a LZ and a SD. Then build build many HTs covering the West and South sides of your base. Also arm the WPCs. The enemy will be coming by air on the West, and tanks from the little entrance in the South. Sometimes, tanks also come from West. Bring units from the MB and build some if necessary. All you have to do is hold the base with minimal casualties until the mines finish extracting resources. Getting your minelayers to work on South of the base will further improve your defense. About 20 minutes after the mission start, you'll finish extracting resources. Meanwhile, use a recon unit to explore West of your base. You'll eventualy find a resource deposit. Start a mining operation there. Your base should be getting alot of punishment and about to be overrun. If you can't hold them off, sell all non-military buildings and leave only PPs and armed buildings. Now construct a base on the new ore deposit and evacuate all troops there. The enemy will waste many minutes trying to take out the remaining defense, giving you time to build up. Build lots of HTs to defend the new base. When they finish and find out your new base, you'll be ready for them. The AI has a tendency to go around walls so you could use them too. Defend the base until the units stop coming and head South with 1 or more platoons. Take out the base from a safe range. Now there's another base on the other side of the dam. This one is harder, since it's filled with mines. Bring your minelayers and destroy the mines as you advance. When you are done with the bases, bring the TNTs to the dam. You'll notice that there are 2 places where the dam is larger. That's where you'll put the TNTs. Before you do this, evacuate everything, just leaving 2 TNTs, because you are forced to leave the mission as soon as you put the trucks in place. When 2 trucks are positioned at the larger spots on the dam, you pass the mission. You should now have about 550000 resources in your base. =========================================================================== _______________________ 7.A7 [Mission 7: Dam, Part II] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Hard In this mission you must defend your bases for a period of time. You can't access your MB, but there are plenty of resources all over the map. You have a main base at the Northeast, a secondary base at Southeast and 2 production complexes on the left side of the map. The Southwest Production complex will be the first to be attacked. In this mission all you have to do is concentrate your forces where are resources. The Northeast base should be very well defended, as it will take lots of damage from ED units. The Southeast base will be swarmed by UCS at 25:00. Be sure to collect all resources and sell non-military buildings by that time. Also, before the UCS attack, build up a base on the Southwest of the map, where are the resources. That will be your new main base, since it's in a very easy place to defend. Put radars on the Southeast base since UCS will use Shadow. As the other bases finish with resources, sell them and bring the units to your new base but leave military buildings active to keep enemies distracted while you develop the new base defenses. Now all you have to do is hold on in that spot until the timer reaches 0. Build a recylcer an recylce any units you don't need anymore. (ZK Taigas for example) It shouldn't be very hard to hold off the base. There's a strategy to help you out. | wwwwwwwwwww|wwww w = Wall P P P P P P|P P P = Pillbox __________|w HT = Heavy Tower |HTwHTwHTwHT |_ = Enemies Route | With this, enemy units will have to pass trough to get to your base getting caught in a deadly crossfire. The AI just puts a waypoint in the center of your base so the enemies will fall on the trap. The pillboxes should be armed with HRLs to damage the enemy at long range and the HTs with 120mm to finish them off if they enter the trap. Now just hold the base for a while. When the timer reaches 0, enemy attacks will stop, but the mission won't end. I didn't understood this for a while, until i was told that all enemies on map had to be eliminated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Thompson wrote: After the clock has run down and the last attack has happened on your base, send a couple of STEALTH Radar's to the far south east corner and to the middle of the west side of the map. You will find a couple of groups of stealth enemy mechs and 'copters. Use stealth vehicles to destroy these and the mission will end. However, you need to sell your base and recycle all your own troops before completing the mission as your funds are transfered to your main base when you end the mission. Hope this helps. I look forward to the updated walkthrough! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of this information is incorrect. The helicopters are found at the west center border togheter with some Urals. The Jaguars are very expensive to build, so they give lots of money when recycled. You can capture them as i did, with STEALTHs I, or just destroy them all. It's your call. When you're done with the Jaguars, procced to the Urals. If you captured a Jaguar with a Shadow Generator this will be extremely easy. Capture or destroy, you decide again. Now you should have the End Mission icon active. Recycle every unit and sell all buildings as the resources will end up in your base. =========================================================================== ________________ 7.A8 [Mission 8: China] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Very Hard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before starting the mission, have 1 platoon of Urals and 1 of Hans hR ready to go to the battlefield. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mission is so hard that it is dificult to explain it, but i'll try. The timer is fake so don't worry about it. It really makes you fail an objective, but it's not necessary to complete the mission. The reason for this to happen is because the launching pads are a decoy, and don't contain space shuttles, so it would be ridiculous to loose a mission fo not capturing shuttles that aren't even there! Having a fake timer doesn't mean you are free to do things slowly. The faster this mission is done, better. There are tons of resources, but they won't even compensate to what you are about to spend! First of all, go to the Southeast corner of map and build a LZ, 4 PPs, a SD and a wall of HTs. Yes, a wall, and don't leave a single hole. These HTs should be as armed as possible. I upgraded them with lasers and AA, since lasers are better than 120mm when there are lots of them. Bring your Hans and get them to the edge of the map. Order them to attack when a helicopter comes and is out of your AA's range. Have the Urals get there too just in case. Now you have to hold off the enemy until the timer reaches 2 days, which won't be easy. If anything gets destroyed, quickly replace it. Have several repairers working on the HTs if they take damage. You might also want to know a tactic to have a very powerful shield. This only works on buildings. To do it, buy a small shield and when it gets used up, buy a medium one, and when that one goes off too, buy a large one. It costs you the same amount of buying the large one right away and gives your buildings much more shield capacity. If you survive, you'll notice enemies will come much less times. You can choose to extract resources right away or leave that to the end of the mission, which will be easier. Build 5 STEALTHs I and research Artillery if you haven't already. Advance with your Urals if they are equiped with 120mm or hR. If they are, your targets are the enemy buildings North of your base, on the bridge. Slowly destroy the buildings from range. (This is much easier with artillery, so you might wait until you have the tech) When the research ends, build a platoon of 10 Urals ART and get them to join the other Urals if they haven't been massacrated yet. If you haven't sent them, send them now with your new Urals. When everything on the bridge is destroyed, you will have a problem supplying your tanks with ammo once you go ahead. There's a large AA column at the North center of the map. You can either try to take them out with Hans hR from a range, or you can send the STEALTHs I. If you choose the second, your Urals will have to advance and clear a path to the STEALTHs since there's a Radar in the vicinity. The target AA's your Hans/STEALTH's must destroy are spread on the big mountain on the North of the map. Make sure they are all destroyed before advancing with the Urals. Doing this while defending from waves of enemy attacks will almost be impossible to accomplish. Make sure your defense stays up. If you succed in destroying/disabling all the AA's, your Urals got green signal to advance. Destroy the base at the Northeast corner and procced West. There are mines there so you might want to take a minelayer with you. You'll eventually come across another base. There's a Headquarters in that one and it should be one of your primary targets, since it is in the "Defense" function, giving the enemy weapons more range. Destroy the base and procced further West. If you got this far without losing your platoons, congratulations! If it's destroyed or badly damaged, build other 2, one with hL or 120mm and other with artillery. When they are built, procced further West and you'll eventually spot the Launching pads. Leave them for now, but destroy the Small tower behind them, and watch your fire if you use artillery. None of the pink buildings may be lost. Keep pushing further West to the final enemy base. Since you coming from the back, it won't be much hard, unless you have enemy units to engage. If you get overwelmed with enemy Urals, don't be afraid to give them some of your artillery firepower! Continue West and then South to a last outpost that you also have to take out. Beware, the enemy units respawn nearby. Once you destroyed all buildings in your way, go look for the ones that weren't in your way. This mission needs all buildings destroyed and it might be very hard to find them all. Just use a large amount of suppliers and hopefully you'll find them. Next, you need to convert all the pink buildings to your side with grabbers or ionization and capture. After this, this hard mission is complete. Don't forget to sell the Launching Pads, they are worth a fortune. =========================================================================== _________________ 7.A9 [Mission 9: France] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Hard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before starting the mission, have 1 platoon of Urals 120mm and 2 of Hans hR ready to go to the battlefield. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first objective is to get the Radars to the plateau. Seems easy to accomplish, but there's a bunch of Defenders in your way. Send out the Urals first until almost every Defender has locked on them. Now send your Radars to the plateau. They should make it in one piece. If nothing happens, move your Radars around in the plateau, the trigger only seems to activate in a certain location. Now you should have a Gruz. Build up some defense a little Northwest of the upper mine deposit, so if a enemy unit comes to attack your lower mines, it has to come trough the defenses. Begin extraction. (you should have tons of ZK taiga Transporters unless you recycled them) Your Urals hL and Radars are condemned to die if they stay there, so use them to destroy the Defenders. If they succed, return them to the base under construction. Build a LZ, a SD, a VPC and a Radar near the defense. You should have 4 repairers near the defense, so build them in the VPC if you haven't any on the MB. If you didn't clear the Defenders with the hL, bring your Urals 120mm and destroy them. Return them to base to help the defense. When the LC syops attacking with aircraft, they are out of resources. From now on, all defense should be based on 120mm. Now, bring your 2 platoons of Hans and position them to the left side of the plateau, where there's water. Unit injections will always pass this way, unless they are attracted by something. They don't have ANY anti-aircraft equipment, not even 20mm! That's why it's good to attack them with the choppers. You won't be able to destroy them all, so it's not a bad idea to build a artillery in base to repel concentrated groups. Build some STEALTHs NG and put them on the way to your base so you can bombard incoming enemies from long range. Just remember that the artillery shells take their time to reach the destination so fire ahead of the units so the shell falls when they are passing trough it. After some tries, you'll sure get the hang of it. Now that your defense is up, it's time to get agressive! Wait for a unit injection to come and get destroyed and rush with your Gruz to the plateau. Build up some PPs, and build a wall of HT's and other of pillboxes covering the plateau's entrance. (You can use the same scheme used in "Dam, Part II") Now you own the plateau. Why is it so important? Because with artillery, you have artillery range to the majority of the enemy base. The artillery should be built as North on the plateau as possible, but don't exaggerate or the Crions will be able to shoot at it. Now use STEALTHs NG to reveal enemy buildings and destroy them. In a small amount of time the base will half the size. It's also a good idea to use the artillery to fire at the water left of the plateau when the units are passing trough. You may have to build an additional SD on the plateau to resupply your artillery and defense in the plateau. When your artillery targets are all out of range, use the Hans to destroy all power plants you encounter. (There are lots of Xyrex Power Plants on the Northeast part of the map) If you do it right, all those buildings around the target HQ should be offline. Use your Hans to take out any units nearby and wait for the next unit injection. While you wait, build a ZK Taiga Grabber and send it to the plateau. Destroy the unit injection and rush you Grabber to the HQ. (Go trough the left side, it's safer) Capture the HQ and you mission accomplished. Sell all buildings and evacuate all units. =========================================================================== ___________ 7.A10[Mission 10:] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \UNDER CONSTRUCTION\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ =========================================================================== _____________ 7.B [LC Walktrough] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ On the LC campaing, you play the role of a new recruit.

You don't even need the MB. Build some Moons R and arm your MBBs. You should also build Defender around the Research Centers. Now just kill every ED unit that approaches your base. Don't worry with the advanced outposts, they'll destroy most of the units without any assistance. If after the attack nothing happens from a long time, look for units, you must destroy them all before procceding to the second objective. Successfully repel 6 ED attacks and mission passed.

Get something to protect the right side of the base, too. Research the Fat Girl and Rocket Launchers. Get some units to the MA to help defend it. When the researches are complete, start producing Fat Girls R. You should know that the enemy has TONS of resources on his side and already starts with his defense up so this map is gonna be hard, especially with your limited technology. Helicopters will be coming from North and tanks from West and East of your base. STEALTHs will also come, so that's why you made those detectors. If one of them is destroyed, immediately replace it. Way up North of your base and both outposts, there's a large resource deposit. Begin extraction as soon as possible and protect it with Defenders. When your Fat Girls are ready, you can choose to attack the enemy right away, or to defend the base until the enemy gets out of resources but that takes about 5 hours and a half, so it's very long and on top of that, the enemy even has resource injections!!! That's why it only has resource problems after 5 hours. I choose to wait so i spent some of the time cleaning the keyboard. I even went eating, and when i came back, the base was exactly how i left it :) Actually, if your base is well defended, it can hold off by ifself for a few hours, since the LC regenerates. But if you do this, don't forget to put some Phobos Regenerators and Shield Rechargers. At about 5 hours, the enemy attacks will decrease gradually, so it's time to wake up!! Now, explore the whole map. You should have noticed the ED has 2 outpost near 2 different bridges. I think these are needed to complete the mission, so raze them on your way to the ED base. When you get there, use your rockets range! Don't just throw the units in there, or they'll come back in pieces. Beware, the ED rockets have the same range as yours, so you may have to do hit 'n' runs to the ED power plants. Slowly destroy the base and concentrate on the factories so the ED can't build units to destroy your units. When you destroy all buildings in the map, mission passed.

Here speed is your best bet. The longer you take, the worse it gets. Also remember that there are artifacts and the Northwest corner of the map for ammo. Start out by getting your New Hopes to go South until they find a forest just North of an artillery position. Now, rip a hole trough the forest with your plasma cannons until you get to the artillery. Destroy them but be sure to stay away from the small towers range. If a unit or two appears, destroy them too. Now you should have something like this: A1 U = Units U A = Artillery A2 DA = Destroyed artillery A4 DA3 Now get your New Hopes back to the forest they opened up and procced to Artillery position 2. There is a small patch of trees just West of the southern artillery. This avoids having to pass trough the ED defenses. Shoot them all trough the wall. (Nice rime :) Now only Artillery position 1 and 4 should be active. It's time to get suicidal!! There's a crazy artillery on position 1 that fires at everything that approaches. If you try to use your New Hopes, they'll end buried in a artillery shell crater. So let's get creative! If the artillery fires back, why don't make it fire against it self? Get all shielded units you can, since they'll have to pass trough a laser tower. Now get them running to the artillery like crazy. You'll probably loose some units with the blasts, but if you get there with at least one unit, just park it right next to the artillery and it will fire causing 3 artilleries to go down. Now with your New Hopes, come from up avoiding the laser towers and finish off that last artillery. Now the only artillery position remaing is 4. If you wasted all shielded units you should still have 3 Fat Girls and 3 Moons. Get them to a platoon and enter the forest you used to clean up position 3. Destroy everything in your way to get there. Now open fire at the artillery. Remember the you shouldn't loose your New Hopes, they are very important at this stage of the campaing since they can't be built yet. After all artillery is destroyed, you can build a base. Research AA rockets and building grabber. Build an LZ, ASD and power up. If you haven't suicided your units during the last attack, they'll defend the base. Bring a platoon to to the MA which will be your attack platoon. You can do the usual and wait for the computer to get out of resources, but after the previous mission, i had absolutely no patience. So i charged to the Northeastern base as soon as i the platoon ready. This cost me about 10 Mercury suppliers and the base had already extracted all resources, so it was all prejudice. You do as you want to, and use the range to minimize friendly casualties. For each base you destroy, things get easier. There's other base at Southeast corner and other at Southwestern. This last one is hard to access by land since it has a mountain before it, but there are at least 2 entrances. If you keep using Fat Girls full of rockets, you should have no problem destroying the bases. You can also use the Fat Girls to destroy laser towers from a safe range and use the New Hopes to destroy rocket towers with hit 'n' runs, but don't loose them!! Remember that to finish the mission you must destroy all structures including the ones near the artillery positions.

I must congratulate the map designers because they made it pretty well and all of those rivers were very well placed. Now, enough chatting, let's get on with the mission! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dificulty Level: Easy Objectives: - Destroy the ED Base in Portugal - Destroy the UCS Base - Capture the HQ of the UCS in their base Weeee!!! The ED base is down!! Ohhh!!! Our base is down!! Look, there's a laser wall still standing! Now seriously, build up quickly and bring a platoon to the MA. Extract the resources nearby and also notice that the ED base was full of resources too. Get get them and send a platoon to cover the area. Research the Crater, Heavy Rockets and the Guardian. You'll want to build some Guardians as soon as the research completes since plasma bombers will try to attack your base, so arm those guardians with AA. Those bombers will always appear from the South to your mines, so that's where you should put the Guardians. Now you just have to wait until resources on the map become an endangered species :) Don't worry, because the UCS won't get resource injections. While you wait, grab a detector and scout the UCS base. When you start seeing harvesters approaching one of your 2 mining positions it means that the UCS has finished the mining and is looking for more. Wish i had ion cannons and repairers so i could capture and sell all those harvesters. By this time, you should start thinking about attacking the UCS base. Build 5 Moon Grabbers and a platoon of Craters HR if you haven't any yet. If you still have Fat Girls, even better. Now wait for the UCS to stop sending any vehicle. Now, go get those UCS out of my country!! Send your Craters, Fat Girls and Grabbers to the North of the UCS base. With the Craters HR, you should have range to take out most of the towers to get in range of the power plant. Destroy it. Now you have 1 of 3 power plants down and you opened a way to your Fat Girls to attack the 2 remaining power plants. Now with those Fat Girls, go run like crazy to the power plants and destroy them. Don't fire on th HQ. If you loose some units, don't mind, they were old tech anyway. If you succed, you'll have a fully armed UCS base with no power. That's when the Grabbers come in. Capture everything, but be careful not to capture the HQ. After all is captured, sell it and retreat with 4 Grabbers so only 1 remains. With that one, capture the HQ. Bombers will come and destroy everything on sight. Since the only things there were a captured HQ and a Grabber, they'll procced to your Craters and will be quickly eliminated. I discovered that the developers missed something here. If you defend the HQ with 6 Guardian AA before you capture it, the bombers will be destroyed and you'll be stuck on the cutscene. Guess the developers forgot about this. When the HQ is destroyed, sell all buildings and evacuate units. Let's go to America!
