Story

The game takes place in a human colony, which finds out that the Earth was captured by aliens . Soon, alien ships begin to arrive in the colony. To protect against aggression, an Alien Counter Force (SPP) is created. A player can build bases in various countries of the planet, but no more than one base in the country (the same applies to aliens). But some elements of the game could still be improved: soldiers do not die in battle (due to the fact that scientists have found a way to clone the bodies for soldiers, or using various technologies to completely restore the bodies of soldiers), they simply end up in the hospital for a very long time (in the settings of the gold edition of the game can be made so that the soldiers die). At the same time, the full automation of the recruitment of soldiers and base personnel does not allow the player to hire more soldiers to replace the wounded (the computer hires new soldiers only to replace the dead, this does not apply to the gold publication, in which it is possible to hire soldiers). Destroyed equipment cannot be restored. But you can buy / make a new one. All soldiers and all equipment will be destroyed if the alien ship destroys the transporter in which the interception group was in flight. By exploring and capturing the aliens themselves, you can learn new technologies. As you progress through it becomes clear that the only way to save humanity is to destroy the womb-ship, on which the brain that controls the entire colony is located. The main reason for the attack is the giant deposits on the planet Esperanza of a rare chemical element - avonia, which is the center of the entire alien civilization. Due to the alien's protective and camouflage technology, it is impossible to find and liquidate the mines for the production of avonium. After the attack on Earth, people managed to deliver a nuclear attack on the avonia storage, as a result of which the womb ship lost significant supplies of this substance, and an energy crisis began in the alien colony. It is clear that as soon as there is a sufficient amount of avonia on the womb, the next goal of the ship will be the flight to Esperanza.

Arm your soldiers and fighters with different weapons. You can capture alien bases, you take a certain country under protection. But at the same time, aliens can also capture your bases, attacking them. When attacking the main base, the mission to protect it begins automatically. When attacking a secondary base, the player has 10 days to release it, otherwise the aliens destroy all buildings and aircraft located at the base. Aliens can terrorize civilians. At the end of the game, the player can build a unique centaur spaceship and set off to save humanity. To send it, you need to research and build all of its modules. It is also necessary to have the best Damn Fish transporter. The equipment that the soldiers will use cannot be produced at the Centaur, so the soldiers must have all the necessary equipment. After sending the Centaur, it lands on Earth in North America, in the crater of an extinct volcano. After that, several missions to discover the necessary artifacts for attacking the mother ship of aliens begin (an identifier of the alien spaceship SRO-2 hacked by earth hackers and drawings of the alien star port on Cape Canaveral). Then follows the attack of this very starry port, and, immediately after it, the attack of the mother ship. At the same time, while the "Centaur" is on Earth, aliens can repeatedly attack it. The Centaur Defense Mission naturally begins automatically. The game ends in victory in the destruction of the alien brain.

The defeat in the game occurs if:

  • The main base of the SPP was attacked by aliens, and it could not be defended.
  • The main SPP base was attacked by aliens, but there are no soldiers or equipment to defend it at the base.
  • Bankruptcy . Initially, the player has at his disposal $ 1 million, but in the case of ill-considered expenses and costs, this amount can reach zero. Moreover, the player has several sources of income. Every month, states (primarily those with your base) transfer a certain amount at the end of the month, which depends on the outcome of the game. The states occupied by the aliens do not transfer money, but if you destroy the alien base, you can get a certain amount. You can also sell alien artifacts and equipment, equipment and aircraft.
  • The Centaur was attacked and failed to be defended.
  • The aliens procured enough avonia, and their mother ship appeared next to Esperanza.
