8.B [IPX]
îîî
IPX is a connection that allows you to play with other players through
LAN. (Local Area Network) You must have 2 or more pc's connected. It gives extremely low ping and is excelent to play if have various computers connected and someone to play with.
To host a IPX session, go to "Multiplayer", select "IPX Connection for
Directplay", write the session name and create the session. Pretty easy.
To join the session, go to the same menu as to create, and select a session from the list and join it.

8.C [EarthNet]
îîîîîîîî
I remember having a though time trying to play Lost Souls over EarthNet.
There were much more people playing Moon Project than Lost Souls. With the patch, it might be easier to play a game, but i tried to access EarthNet with no success.

îîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîî

Minimum Requirements:
IBM compatible PentiumT Processor with 300 MHz at least 64 MB RAM
350 MB free HDD space
DirectXT compatible graphics board
DirectxT compatible sound card
8X CD-ROM drive
Mouse
WindowsT 95/98/Me or WindowsT NT/2000/XP
Recommended Requirements:
IBM compatible PentiumT Processor with 500 MHz at least 128 MB RAM
900 MB free HDD space
DirectXT compatible graphics board with 16 MB
DirectxT compatible sound card
12X CD-ROM drive
Mouse
WindowsT 95/98/Me or WindowsT NT/2000/XP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What games came before Earth 2150: Lost Souls?
A: The complete list is:
Earth 2140
Earth 2150: Escape from the Blue Planet
Earth 2150: Moon Project
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What are the Radars/Spider Radars/Detectors for?
A: They allow you to detect cloaked units (STEALTH for ED,SHADOW for UCS) and can also be used around your base to detect incoming attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why can't my units cloak?
A: At night, your units must turn their lights off or they won't be able to cloak.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the ED Noise Generator for?
A: The noise generator disables the communication between the affected unit and player that owns it, effectively forcing the player loose control on it. The units will still fire and respond to threats by themselves, though.
Another big use on it is the ability to act as a radar, detecting all cloaked units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the Banner for?
A: The Banner increases experience by 2 points to all nearby units and buildings. It's sort of like morale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: The enemy is on a hill and i can't reach him. How do i kill him?
A: There are many ways of destroying an enemy which you don't have access to by ground. You can use massive destruction weapons, artillery, aircraft, units transporters, or you can dig a tunnel to its base. Just make sure you don't build the tunnel entrance right next to a defense emplacement! :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Are there any cheats for this game?
A: I know, i know. The game is kinda hard, but cheating only ruins your fun of playing the game. For example, when i bought the original Earth 2150 i was a newbie at RTS games, and at the 4th ED mission, i was already looking for cheats, and i made the whole ED campaign blowing up enemy bases with tons of meteors. I got so bored i stopped playing. Some months later, i spent some time in Skirmish mode and after many training i was able to win a game vs. 4 cpu's in average mode. After that i made all the campaigns using only the infinite unit limit cheat. (the unit limits were too short for me :) On Lost Souls, i was disapointed to see that the unit limits were very short too, but it's only at the first 2 missions. I am now playing the ED and LC campaigns without any type of cheat and i'm doing just fine.
What i want to say with all this is that cheating spoils the fun to any game, and this game isn't that hard if coordinate your forces stratigecaly.
Afterall, that's why they call it a strategy game, you're not supposed to throw all of your units into the enemy base and excpect them to survive.
But if for some reason you still want some cheats, you can find them at the
GameFAQs website.

Bugs:
- Between the movie and the cutscene there's a time where you can control your interface. There is, but the developers didn't thought of this. So if you succed in pausing you will want to start giving out orders, so while you watch the cutscene, your base will be built. The problem is that each time you give out an order, the time advances a bit. (half second, from what i was told) If you give multiple orders the time you have to control the interface will run out, activating the cutscene. Since you are paused, the cutscene would start paused too, but it wasn't designed to activate paused, and you don't even have control while watching. What happens now is that Lost Souls crashes, not knowing what to do. There's no way to avoid this crash. Thankfully, if you don't pause between the movie and the cutscene, you won't ever get it. Thanks to medial for telling me this.
- In maps with many units moving, your game may crash to the desktop when you attempt to load a game. This happens even to computers that are way beyond recommended requirements. It happens when you try to load a game when your screen is full of moving units. To avoid this, get your camera to a empty zone or get it to underground. This probably has something to do with RAM overload, since you need it to load maps.
Secrets:
- The LC Crion research doesn't show up in the Research Tree. It only appears on the Research Center menu. Although not really a secret, some people miss it.
