Current version, i have added quite alot more towards the teams but school and
my sister is getting in the way. Also have added a mini contents to each team as
well as a reveiw ! i will continue to update this guide if i get a response by
people.

version 1.1b released 03/04/02
I have not updated in a long long time ! I have deleted the mini contents because
they just didn't suite the guide. Also i have deleted the "How to Play earth 2150
over the Internet" because you used to be able to play it on the zone but now thats
gone so i know nowhere that hosts Earth 2150. I have changed/modifed the LC review,
some people kept emailing in saying i had been a bit harsh, so that has changed.
I am trying to finish the vehicle guide and the Walkthrough wii come soon, maybe.

********************************
* B3) HOW TO BUILD AN EMPIRE *
********************************

There are alot of thing you have to do just to win a simply game of Earth 2150.
the first thing you need to know is how to build buildings . for the ED and UCS
you will start the game with a machine which builds buildings for you . You simply
click on the building you want to build and select were you want to build it .
With the LC you click on build button near the bottom half of the screen and click
on the area were you want to build your building . You can press Enter on the
number pad to turn the building around . To build a unit first you have to build
the building which build the unit (eg. To build Pammir you have to build a weapon
production centre , sinmle realy ) . Another important issue in Earth 2150 is to
supply your battle units with ammo . to do this you will need aerial centre and a
supply ship to take the ammo to the units . the will be more info on the supply
ships and and buildings later on in this guide . In most missons to get money you
ill have to mine for ore . each Team has its own way of doing this , you can find
about the mining vehicles later in this guide . The ED and UCS can also build
tunnels and bridges . I think this is a great feature in this game and when you go
these two teams you should use the tunnel building as a great defensive advantage .
The bridges are also good because without them you could not get youre troops
around the map . The reason For the Lc not having bridges is that all the units
can fly ! and i don't know why they do not have tunnels .

The main things to remeber are when you are gettting ore get it fast , there is
not much ore on the map in that is your ownly source of money (unless your on
Skirmish mode , in which you can just get given money) so get there before the
enemy does . also if you are fighting for some ore take in consideration the
amount of ore , is it really worth all the losses of your expesive machines if
not just leave the dam stuff , if there's alot of ore in one place fight for it
with your life , never give up ! Another friendly note , have lots of weapons
centres , in this game there is no population limit and the enemy knows that ,
you should to , in other words build lots of stuff .

before you start the campaign i recommend that you stay on Skirmish for abit
because the campaigns are hard , one mistake can cost you the whole game on
the campaign so get better on Skirmish mode before you try the long hard
campagin .
NOTE : The campaign on this game is different to others because you always
have a base were you have to send your ore to . So realy there is only 3
campaigns in the game , one for each team , but there are long and take weeks
to complete (unless you play on your computer continously)

--------------------THE TEAMS OF EARTH 2150------------------
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

There are 3 teams in Earth 2150 each having there special abilitys , they will
be explained in detail but first the Earth 2150 Prologue.

***************************
* C1)EARTH 2150 PROLOGUE *
***************************

The 21st Century was supposed to herald the dawn of a new age. The wars, famines
and suffering of the last two millennia were to become a distant, fading memory,
as scientific advances brought global peace and prosperity. Toward the end of
the 20th century, a now forgotten US president even went as far as to officially
proclaim the arrival of a new world order, in whih right, not wrong, would govern
international relations.

Unfortunately, this bright future was not to be. First came a meltdown of the
international stock and currency exchanges. Then the major international
conglomerates were dissolved in a vain attempt to stop the fiscal haemorrhage. By
2012 the world enconomy had collasped. Poverty and hunger caused soial and
political tensions to flare. As the crisis wore on, few were bold or naive enough
to predict anything positive for the future. Mostrealised that the planet was on
the verge of global conflict.

During this time, the odd american organisation, NASA, were taken over by a new
company called the Lunar Corporation. The LC, as it was known, saw a business
opportunity in all this chaos, and began building a city in orbit. When it was
completed, those who could afford it flocked to the newly opened Orbital City I.

In 2048, the anticipated global conflict broke out with a level of violence that
shook the planet to its core . All major centralised goverments were destroyed in
the maelstrom. Europe and Eastern Asia bore the brunt of the devastation, as the
entire urban centres, from Madrid to Moscow and from Seoul to Singapore were
literally wiped off the map. The 20th-century dream for a better world ended in
death and destruction. The population of Orbital City I, shocked by the horrors
they were witnessing, emigrated to a newly constructed Lunar base to better
protect themselves. The colony then severed all connections with earth and began
to prosper as a separarte, selr-contained community.

The human race has always been known for its resiliency. Within a dozen years,
the Earth's inhabitants had begun to restore their old nationalities - with a
few twists. Twelve states of the former United states joined together to form
a new country, called the United Civilised States. The UCS citizens had
essentially given up thier old roles as producers and leaders. Nearly all work
was being performed by robots which were controlled by expert computer systems.
Not surprisingly, the human inhabitants of the UCS had become lazy and decadent.

In the European and Asia territories, which suffered so terridly in the war, a
new empire was created under the iron fist of the khans. Its pround name was
meant to conjure up an ossociation with a glorious former age - The Eurasian
Dynasty. With access to the military bases, weapons and technology of the former
Soviet Union, the Khans were able to build up a formidable military state.
Decadence is unheard og in the ED. The citizens are drilled from an early age
to serve the state and be ready if so ordered. The regime is quick to eliminate
any individualists and pleasure-seekers, not to mention those who are merely lazy
or incompetent.

As the only two organised powers, both the ED and the UCS were able to extend their
borders very quickly, and soon possessed all remaing inhabitable areas. but two
powerful empires can rarely live in harmony. Soon the ED army invaded the UCS
territories. Thus began another horrendous war. During eight years of continuous
conflict, the retreating ED army, desperate after suffering a series of battlefeild
defeats, attempted to turn the tide with nuclear weapons. A barrage was lunched
against UCS positions near the North pole. The explosions unleashed were so violent
that the Earth's orbital motion was effected. This was first noticed in 2150 by UCS
scientists and the almost forgotten colonists on the moon. Soon, the infomation also
reached ED headquaters. The scientists' calculations became cause for serious alarm.
The distance between the Earth and the Sun wouls shrink by nearly 17% over the next
few years. The implications became clear, even to the thick-headed ED commanders -
the Earth and the moon are headed for a terrible cosmic disater.

The only hope for salvation is to escape the doomed planet. But building an evacuation
fleet of such size requires immense natural resorces and these are to be found only in
