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 can easily recognize it from the rest of the mails.

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 v2.0 patch is avaliable at some game sites and can be  found at: http://www.earth2150.com/ls/download.htm

Be advised that this FAQ was entirely written using the 2.0 version (for the exception of the ED campaigns) so it's absolutely recommended that you download the patch if you haven't started the game yet or are planning to follow this FAQ to the letter. I also tell you that it is highly advised to restart a campaign after installing the patch, so if you are in the middle of a campaign, finish it first.
