E2150 - Eurasian Dynasty - ED

''This page is about ED faction (playable in Earth 2150 game). You will find here information about its origins, available units and constructions. Let this data help you grow as an experienced ED army commander.''

Race Overview
Eurasian Dynasty - Essentially a new Mongol Empire based in Russia, the Eurasian Dynasty (ED) is the most primitive of the three races use outdated (by 22nd Century standards) technology such as tanks and helicopters. ED has an industrial, Soviet-reminiscent theme to the design of its structures and vehicles. It has the most basic methods of power generation and complicated resource-gathering.

Basic ED units are armed with machine guns, 105 mm cannons, and rocket launchers , while more advanced vehicles can be equipped with laser & ion cannons (developed in response to the UCS ' habit of AIs) as well as nuclear missiles. The ED army still relies on conventional weapons. It unbelievable how they even could develop such thing like an Ion Cannon, which interrupts the electronic circuitry of any target it hits, disabling it without destroying it. Using this formidable piece of firepower, the ED is able to capture many hostile units intact, then examine them for potential weak points. Their main offensive force is comprised of units equipped with large-caliber antitank guns and rocket launchers. Towards the end of the last war, however, a few new units were equipped with laser weapons. Despite years of research, the ED scientists still have not been able to develop an effective anti-gravity generator. So ED units continue to run on engines based on the old 20th century technology. Ground vehicles have wheel or caterpillar-type track chassis. The main drawback to this is that different terrain types have a great affect (almost always negative) on their mobility.

History
Greater Russia was one of the parties to the war of 2048. During this conflict, all governments in Europe and Asia were de-centralized, and the entire area fell into an almost feudal anarchy. Naturally, once the war ended this situation quickly changed. Generals wasted little time officially consolidating the power which they had enjoyed throughout the war. And a mighty new empire arose from the ruins of civilization - the Eurasian Dynasty .

The following excerpts are taken from the personal diary of a Russian general, Siergiej Zugij, while he was commander of the Irkutsk III missile base. This ambitious career soldier was one of the founders of the new Dynasty and became its first leader.

In the spring of 2050, a group of soldiers under Colonel Siergiej Zugij 's command set out towards the Mongolian steppes to find remaining survivors. The Colonel 's plan was very ambitious. As commander-in-chief he had an extremely thorough socio-political training behind him and commanded legions of troops ready and willing to lay down their lives for him. He was therefore able to capitalize on any opportunity to create a strong, new empire. That empire would be ruled by one person - Zugij himself.

Zugij even had a few more aces up his sleeve. He had access to a wide variety of weapons and he knew where all the old Russian secret military bases were located. All he needed now was a location to make his dream come true. Coming across a Mongolian nomadic tribe and taking control over it gave him the perfect opportunity to start a new empire. In the spring of 2051, the now General Zugij encountered a tribe of sheepherders ruled by the Khan family. These sheepherders weren't really interested in the global war raging throughout the known world, their main problem was the constant conflict with neighboring communities. This situation was tailor-made for Zugij and it didn't take him long to convince the tribe's leader that an armed squad could put an end to their problem once and for all. Within the following year, the Khans conquered the surrounding territories, uniting their peoples into one tribe. The victories strengthened Zugij 's position as the leader's advisor and at the end of the first year he became a member of the Khan family by marrying one of the chief's daughters. He took a new name, Yaga Zi Khan, to help win the tribe's respect and confidence.

The old leader died in 2059 and Yaga Zi Khan became the new leader. While establishing the capital of his new country, he continued to bring more and more areas under his control. After a few more years had elapsed, Yaga Zi Khan found himself controlling most of the remaining uncontaminated areas in Asia. Yaga 's son, just as bloodthirsty as the old leader himself, marched to Europe and conquered its peoples. This was the birth of the huge and powerful empire which would be given a proud name at the end of the 21st century -  the Eurasian Dynasty .

The dictatorial Khan Dynasty gave the absolute highest priority to military science, forever searching for new technological solutions which would give them total military control. They had access to the old  Soviet secret military bases and this gave them nuclear capability and other usefully destructive technology. Trusting nobody, they naturally set up a highly trained, large network of spies and saboteurs. They sent many of these shady characters to South America to gather as much information as possible on their arch rivals, the UCS.

In 2032, the impetuous and cunning Tiao Thi Zhe Khan came to power. His ambition was to conquer both Americas and hammer the laziness out of the UCS citizens. He started his preparations by ordering the ED scientists to develop a technology whereby human body parts could be replaced by mechanical parts. The scientists were successful and soon a new generation of tough, extremely resistant cyborg-soldiers were being massproduced and held in Bio Centers.

Then in 2140 something totally unpredictable happened....the UCS invaded the British Isles ! Now Tiao Thi Zhe Khan had a reason to do the only thing which warmed his cold, cruel heart...he declared war on the UCS.

The war proved to be enormously expensive and Khan still wasn't seeing any signs of the crushing victory he had anticipated. Naturally, the people soon started to balk at paying the high taxes levied to finance Khan's war. The situation was ripe for rebellion. Khan 's cousin, Kata Mae Zhe Khan, a master of the insidious (the one quality the entire family shared), made the most of it. He incited the citizens to riot and in the mayhem which ensued, the Bio Center was razed to the ground. The next step for Kata was to assume total control. After a brief but bloody struggle, he deposed his cousin with the support of his rebels. Now he could realize all his dreams and ambitions!

But the change in government didn't change much in the war. The ED army suffered some terrible defeats. In 2148, while making a desperate retreat from South America, they finally retaliated with nuclear weapons. Gigantic explosions near the North Pole changed the course of the war for good - Earth was knocked out of orbit. The first effects of this were noticed in 2150, and as a result, Kata Mae Zhe Khan decided to build an evacuation fleet to escape the planet. Later that year a new enemy appeared. The Lunar Corporation, an almost forgotten society living on the Moon, dispatched its units to various parts of the Earth to seek new territories rich in natural resources. ED reconnaissance, stealthy and effective as ever, reported that the LC had obviously figured out what was happening and was making preparations to evacuate the Moon. Their scientists had no doubt reached the same conclusion as those in the ED - if the Earth is going to blow, get as far away as possible.

A general command was issued from ED headquarters....defend all natural resources on ED territories at all costs ! And prepare for battle against not just one, but two, enemies!
