Earth 2140  Runesoft2013single playerREAL TIME STRATEGY - HI TECH WARFARE!

After numerous wars and several environmental disasters, only two world powers remain; The United Civilized States (»UCS«)and the Eurasian Dynasty (»ED«). The damage caused by the long wars forced both world powers to evacuate the population to recently built underground cities. Natural resources are becoming scarce and have to be extracted above ground. There have been a number of small conflicts between the UCS and the ED, the last of which escalated and became a fierce and bitter war - the final world war. Only one side can win. This final war will decide who will get the last of the available natural resources and ultimately rule the world.

EARTH 2140 is a real time strategy game involving the high tech warfare of the 22nd century. More than 120 exiting missions, an unprecedented artificial intelligence, more than 100 ground units, mechs, flying units and ships are at your command.

Accepting a contract that gives an advance does not even suggest to the player that using that money elsewhere is always unethical and also nearly always illegal. In fact, there is no enforcement; cancellation, completion, or failure of the contract and modification of reputation, science points, and/or funds are the only rules. This makes embezzlement very easy and useful with no consequences (should the contract be fulfilled on time using replacement funds) to the game or the conscience of the protagonist or the actual player (unless the player knows about real embezzlement. Many children and some adults do not, or won't recognize when they are doing it in the game).


An extreme example of locationaldamage in the game would be having a only center connecting part of a rocket explode due to heat from reentry friction. The remaining two rocket parts could continue falling undamaged. They could each land safely if they each had antiquate parachutes or a functioning command module and fueled engine to land softly. The two parts could even reconnect into a sing craft if equipped with compatible docking ports (and if a skillful player could align them _during reentry_).
