Anyone rember earth 2150?

[frostfrank]

I pulled out some old games and I am playing Earth 2150 Escape from the Blue Planet and am stuck.
Playing as UCS - Mission columbia and am being wiped out by meteors.
Have looked at all walk through and can't find anything.
Any help on this old game?
Thanks,
Frank

Hey, that game brings back memories !

If i remember there were some missions on the moon, or i am completely confusing it with some other game.
Could be a BrainSlug.
Do not remember that mission, but i guess maybe some shield strategy would help.
lol

I have no idea but theres a guide on gameFAQs :

" 18. Columbia
OBJECTIVES: -Provide your base with 100,000 CR
TRANSPORT: Harvester x3, Gargoyle x4, <Tiger> x3
RESEARCH: no new advances
ENEMIES: LC in the southwest, ED in the southeast. Look for 20mm Meteors and
Groznys; Sonic Thunderers; 120mm, Ion, and Laser Kruszchevs and Urals; and
20mm, Rocket, and Electro Lunars and Moons.
MISSION: Just like the Andes, only easier. You'll have to use Energy
Transmitters to reach the field east of your base, but again that won't be
enough to fulfill the objective. Throw up a few rocket defenses around the
Power Plant just in case. You get another free Grizzly and some Plasma
Panthers and Rocket Spiders for defense.
The LC will send a medium-sized tank force at you early in the mission so
make sure you have enough combat units in the Albatross to deal with it. The
starting units won't be enough on their own. Expect LC and ED tanks from the
south, LC air units from the west, and ED air units from the east. Tanks will
have to drive past the central mineral field to reach you base, allowing you
to engage them away from the main base. You'll also see a large-scale raid by
Thunderers that can be quite destructive, but after that the LC runs out of
minerals.
Send the Gargoyles to map center to secure the large field. I don't
recommend trying to attack either of the enemy bases because they start
entrenched and the mineral facilities are on the far sides. Mining this field
will be necessary and you can get a start by bringing in three more Harvesters
and setting up a satellite mining operation while the first field is still
running. Put up Towers if absolutely necessary."


IIRC meteors are the LC superweapon, so kill their weather control thing and there you go.

There was an expansion called "The Moon Project", i think some of it was on the moon yeah.

I loved that game, online was populated by germans who rushed with minelayers though My 3 or 4 tanks were no match for a few hundred minelayers with the little machine gun fitted on top :awe:

Moon Project was one of my favorite lan party games ever. I hated the underground stuff though. People would just set autobuild and hide units underground and literally build so many the game would crash lmao.

Thanks for all the replays.
The answer is LCS weather towers - thanks Maximilian.

good game from back in the day

I knew there were something on the moon
Yeah that game!
Anyone remembers that Populous the beginning game?
That would be my all time favorite game!

Earth 2150 was a great game. I wonder why is there such a shortage of strategy games these days, not to mention good ones... They keep making shooters, RPGs, and WWII games, but there's such a shortage of RTS...

I would love to see a good post apocalyptic themed RTS. Something that would allow to salvage destroyed vehicles, and upgrade yours. Something very creative and deep. With visuals like in Oil Rush, but gameplay like C&C3 or CoH. not I said C&C3 not the garbage that came after such as RA3, C&C4 and somesuch.

Oh man i remember that game.... good times I used to turn on the cheats and run around with the shaman just blasting everything with lightening and fireballs, she would yell "kaya!!" and "kaa!" after each spellcast.

Always found it funny that putting 1 man in a hut would breed more men and only men, no women in the tribe except the shamen. I suppose having all the men gangbang the shamen in a hut to reproduce wouldn't make for an age appropriate game...
