[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 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. Here's what the patch does: !!!WARNING: After the installation of the patch, old accounts (local) and savegames can not be used anymore!

[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 to explain them. F3 - I don't know if the tutorial talks about this key, but it enables you to install weapons and shields in the buildings you own. It also has a button on the Upper-right corner that when clicked, gives Large Shields to all of your buildings. F9 - Shows the range of your power plants. (This does not work for the LC, but they have a far bigger range) 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 could have cost you the base. 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. In multiplayer, only the host has authority to use this command. Numpad +/-/* - You can control time by using these keys. Numpad + will accelerate time, so each time you press it, time will go faster. Numpad - functions the same way, but instead of accelerating time, it slows it down. Numpad * resets the time to it's original speed. You can use these controls to speed up time when you're not doing anything or to slow down when you want to give multiple orders in a short time when fighting an enemy. In multiplayer, only the host has authority to use these commands. 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 erase 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 different 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 instantly move to the platoon that is under attack. This also works for most voice messages you can hear like "Construction complete." or "The Transporter has arrived.". Control - You can select multiple units or platoons 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 These are considered the bad guys of the story. They are responsible for the pending destruction of the planet Earth. 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: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - Ural with 2 120mm cannons + Rocket Launchers (Main Battle Platoon) - Ural with 2 Nuclear Rocket Lauchers (Long range artillery) - Ural with 2 Artillery Cannons (Medium range artillery) - Han with Bomb Bay (Air Support) Good defensive structure configurations: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - 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 campaign, 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 enemies 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 The LC would be considered the good guys of the story. They had nothing to do with the disaster and they fight only to escape death. 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 buildings 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 most of 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. And it's so easy to tear it all apart! Why the hell do they care so much about the environment? The planet is gonna blow up, damnit! 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: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - Crusher With 2 Heavy Electro-CannonS + 2 Plasma Projectors (Main Battle Platoon) - Super Fighter with 2 AA Rocket Launchers (Aircraft Anti-air support) - Thunderer with Heavy Rocket Launchers (Aircraft Support) - Crion with Plasma Artillery (Artillery support) - 3 Phobos with regen for HP and shield, and detector (Extra Support group) Good defensive structure configurations: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - Guardian with 2 Heavy Electro-Cannons + 2 AA Rocket Launchers - Main Base with 2 Heavy Electro-Cannons + 2 Plasma Projectors + 2 AA Rocket Launchers The LC is great for a newbie, since everything regenerates quickly and don't have to worry with minelayers and stuff like that. Plus, building is very simplified since you don't need builders around. However, i'm not saying that a good player would be bad with it. =========================================================================== _______________________ 5.C [United Civilized States] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Although not the bad guys, if it weren't for them fighting the ED, this catastrophe would never have happened. 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. Very good for ambushes and surprise attacks. Good unit configurations: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - Jaguar with Heavy Plasma Cannon + Plasma Cannon + Shadow Gen. (Main Battle Platoon) - Cargo Salamander with AA Plasma (Anti-air Support) - Dragon with Plasma Bomb Bay (Air Support) Jaguar with Heavy Grenade Launcher + Shadow Gen. (Artillery Support) Good defensive structure configurations: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 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 attack units. =========================================================================== _________________ 6. [Singleplayer Tips] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ - 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 crushing your base! :P - Never leave units or buildings in the mission area. There's no time limit for Earth's destruction, 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 an 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 computer 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 campaign. (Thanks to Michael Lo for this tip.) - When entering tunnels, only take units that fire energy-type weapons. Conventional weapons can't receive ammo loads since the supplier can't get down there. All energy weapons regenerate ammo automatically. =========================================================================== ___________ 7. [Walktroughs] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The following walktroughs offer strategies, tips and hints for the campaign mode. It will obviously contain major spoilers and campaign events. Reading them could ruin your fun of playing the campaigns, so, if you don't want that to happen, don't read ahead. The walktroughs are all based on Easy dificulty. Even in this difficulty, the AI is pretty tough, with the unit injections and all. In the campaign 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 campaigns 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. You are more than welcome to tell me about good strategies you found for the missions. Just be as specific as possible. =========================================================================== _____________ 7.A [ED Walktrough] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ In the ED campaign you play the role of General Federov, receiving your orders directly from Czar Vladimir II. Don't follow his orders blindly, trust me :) You'll understand what i just said later on the campaign. 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 B - Bomb Bay ART - Artillery NG - Noise Generator Curiosity: 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. (Ednight_3.mp2) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I had some problems with the ED campaign. In Mission 6, apparentely 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. ********************************* NOTE: Mission 1 and 2 have been done with the 1.0 version of the game. The rest of the missions have been done with the 1.1 version. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================================================================== ____________ 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 Dificulty Level: Easy 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 complete the mission. =========================================================================== ________________ 7.A2 [Mission 2: Korea] ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Dificulty Level: Average 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 campaign 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 |
