Product Information
The first two games in this series chronicle the final years of Earth's three factions: the Lunar Corporation, The United Civilized States, and the Eurasian Dynasty. The violent conflict between these groups eventually caused the planet to be knocked from its natural orbit, hurtling it towards the Sun -- and certain death. Earth 2150: Lost Souls begins as the three factions have already sent escape ships to colonize Mars. However, as those in power scamper to the Red Planet, a large population from each faction is left stranded on Earth. Fueled by hatred and contempt, for both their cowardly brethren and each other, these so-called "Lost Souls" gather what resources they can in order to destroy their enemies and, ultimately, escape to track down their betrayers.<br><br>Although founded on traditional RTS methods such as resource gathering, unit production, and base building, the game's 3D engine allows for a number of distinctive tactics. Terrain can be manipulated as the player sees fit: mountains can be raised and lowered, or gaping canyons drawn, to hinder an opponent's attacks. The weather and day-to-night cycle affect the behavior and effectiveness of each faction, and they too suggest tricky tactics. For example, vehicles may turn off their lights at night, in order to try to surprise the enemy. Each group possesses unique technologies and weapons, and players can design and create custom units. By selecting from available chassis, weapons, armor, and shields, players can create vehicles well suited to their battlefield techniques. Research makes available new unit parts and technologies.<br><br>Earth 2150: Lost Souls supports both LAN and Internet play, the latter supported by a matchmaking service called MoonNet through which players can chat or set up and join games. A mission editor is also included.Product Identifiers
