Units

Unit name	Description
Gruz	This is a heavy construction vehicle equipped with front-mounted excavation buckets. It's used for constructing buildings, digging ditches and tunnels and levelling ground. A rear-mounted construction module contains most needed components to construct important structures.
TT 120 Pamir	The TT model was developed from the American Abrams M2 tank. To adapt the design to 22nd century demands, the scientists modified its equipment so that one man can operate it. The steering stand is situated inside the chassis right beneath the turret, giving the operator better protection.
ZK Taiga	This is a heavy-transportation vehicle used originally for cutting trees in the Taiga forests. Low speed and a huge resistance level are its plus points, but being a civilian vehicle, it has a woeful lack of armour. The ZK Taiga is currently assigned to hauling containers between mines and refineries.
ZT 102 Siberia	The Siberia model was designed during adaptation of the ZK series for military purposes. The Siberia is armoured, but, unlike the ZK Taiga, is also fast and light. The reduction in weight was possible because the ZT 100 Siberia was not intended to be used as a transportation unit.
HT 900 Ural	This is the heaviest vehicle used by the ED Army. Unlike the HT 400, it can be coupled to two independently operating large-calibre cannons. Despite its low speed it is used as the main offensive force when faced with heavy enemy defences.
Minelayer	After war broke out in 2140, construction began on a vehicle that would be able to mine large areas in a short time. This led to the development of the Minelayer. During the development process, however, the scientists luckily stumbled across a design for a laser mine detector, which they immediately incorporated into the Miners.
TK 111 Caspian	The ED Army needed an amphibian vehicle capable of operating in swamps and flooded areas. So they developed the TK101 from an armored infantry transporter. The transport bed was replaced with a highly efficient generator, giving it more than enough energy to power any special add-ons.
TL 80 Volga	When the scientists at the Kurtchatov Research Centre started work on an amphibian tank, the first thing they did was reduce the armour, so they could float. The TL 70 model is the result of these experiments, which in fact were half-way successful. The TL 70 can operate in water but is very slow and cumbersome.
MI 107 Cossack	This small helicopter, equipped with machine guns, is perfectly suited for reconnaissance operations. With its tremendous speed and manoeuvrability, it can easily dodge enemy rockets, while its special ammunition helps it destroy light enemy units.
MI 150 Grozny	Due to the heavy losses incurred by the MI 106 Cossack models during the early part of the war, ED scientists were forced to develop a new type of helicopter that would be strong enough to stand a direct hit with a surface-to-air missile. The needed breakthrough was reached when the scientists developed a new composite armor.
MI 210 Khan	In 2147, demand for a stealth unit that could catch enemy units unawares prompted scientific research into a heavy bombing helicopter, the Khan. Able to fly at low altitudes and avoid radar detection, the Khan can carry up to 6 tons. The Khan has no armour at all, so it's defenceless against anti-aircraft attacks.
MI 310 Thor	The MI 300 is a heavily armoured helicopter used to carry out air raids. Although similar in design to the Khan, its lifting capacity is significantly reduced because of its heavy armour plating. It can break through anti-aircraft defences and release bombs precisely over enemy bases - something the MI 200 model cannot do.
Scout	Small helicopter designed for revealing the map due to its long vision range.

Buildings

Building name	Description
Vehicle Production Centres	Heavy construction machines and civilian vehicles are manufactured here. The VPC has its own power source, so it's more or less independent of other structures. Any basic vehicle (without equipment add-ons) can be produced here. Its two cannons can easily fend off attacks by your enemy's light units. Remember to protect your VPC at all costs. If you lose it, you won't be able to produce any heavy construction machinery to expand your operation, and that will eventually mean curtains for you!
Weapons Production Centre	Here you can produce any kind of battle vehicle you want. The WPC isn't particularly well armoured, so you'll need some kind of special protection here. Just as in the case of the VPC, if you lose this structure, you'll have no heavy battle equipment and you'll be fair prey for any enemy who happens along!
Power Plant	This is a normal, medium-output, atomic power station. The reactor has a built-in cooling system, plus a transmitter which supplies energy to neighbouring structures. Your Power Plant has an ingenious automatic safety system, so if it takes a direct hit and is destroyed during an enemy attack, there'll be no atomic explosion to blow your other structures and units to smithereens!
Mine	The Mine excavates underground resources. The raw materials are packed in airtight containers and brought out on a conveyor belt. Then the containers are either transported to a Refinery or to your Space Port.
Refinery	The Refinery breaks down the raw materials into components necessary to keep production going in your Production Centres. Special units deliver the raw material containers to the Refinery. Then a conveyor belt takes them inside
Research Center	This is where your scientists and engineers are based. All kinds of research and experiments are carried out here and new technologies developed. Every unit or structure upgrade has to be developed and tested here and prototypes of new units are planned, constructed and then eventually given the go-ahead for mass production. Your Research Centre will give you access to ultra-modern technology. Note: Two or three Research Centres will speed up your research. More than three won't bring you any more acceleration and is therefore is a waste of your precious resources.
Supply Depot	This is a military centre which supplies ammunition to your units and structures. It's totally dependent on how healthy your bank balance is! As soon as a unit's ammunition supply is exhausted, delivery will occur automatically. And you can have ammunition delivered to any unit you select. Units in tunnels won't always be supplied, but as soon as they exit the tunnel, ammo-a-plenty will be there for them!
Ship Yard	The heart of the Shipyard is a hangar where marine units are constructed. This structure should only be built at the waterside, at a location with space enough to harbour ships and boats and broad enough for a lock.
Pill-Box	The Pill-Box is a really important structure. Heavily armoured with great resistance to all kinds of firepower, it lies close to the ground in the ED's first defensive line. While the Pill-Box is doing its stuff, your second lines of defence can open fire on your enemies and annihilate them. And because it lies so low there'll be no danger of your own units hitting your Pill-Box from behind.
Small Tower	You'll only realize just how effective these structures can be when you have several of them in operation. Three or four Small Towers are an excellent defence against light and medium heavy airborne armour. They can also repel infantry attacks. But bear in mind that they won't be so effective against heavily-armoured enemy infantry, simply because you can't mount heavy artillery on Small Towers.
Large Tower	Here's a huge hurdle for your enemies to cross! It's normally equipped with heavy artillery but you can add an extra weapon on to this structure, like maybe a heavy laser, or even large rockets. A few of these Large Towers placed strategically will thwart even the strongest and most heavily-armed enemy troops.
Missile Control Centre	The MCC is the control centre for the most dangerous firepower of all - the atomic warhead rocket. You'll need this structure to build firing ramps for these rockets. No matter what the distance, these weapons will always hit the target, since they're aimed by satellite! Not bad, huh? You'll find that you'll often need to use these babies to successfully achieve your mission aims.
Silo	This is the firing ramp for your ballistic missiles. It's concealed underground and should always be built near your MCC. Ready-to-fire ballistic missiles (and atomic warhead rockets) are stored here. Just like in the real world, a ramp takes a long time to reload, so it's better to have several of them loaded up and ready to fire.
Headquarters	This is the strategic control centre of the ED. It houses the many, new, advanced strategies to which you wouldn't otherwise have access. You can completely automatic many command sequences here, such as defense, mount-a-weapon, etc.
Radar	In the last years of the war, the UCS really used the camouflage effect of the SHADOW to great effect. The ED had to find an answer to this and their scientists came up trumps. They developed a generator which destroys the Shadow's camouflage effect! Mounted on the Radar structure, this generator has yet another capability....it produces a strong magnetic field which jams your enemy's communications with their Command Center, making them leaderless and easy prey for your weapons.
Tunnel Entrance	This structure handles communication between the tunnel system and the surface. It has its own generator, so it doesn't need a Power Plant.
Landing Zone	This small structure marks out landing areas for heavy transporters. It has a strong signal transmitter which enables it to guide planes in safely at night or in thick fog. Note: This structure is absolutely vital for transporters en route from mission area to base and vice-versa.
Artillery	This is a stationary ED artillery battery. Its builders focused on creating a weapon with the highest possible destructive capability. The result was a slight reduction in range, but a major increase in power. A shot from this weapon releases two 356mm cluster shells. Originally designed to destroy heavily fortified enemy positions, the artillery is also useful in the defensive against concentrated enemy attacks.
Recycler	This hydraulic press is used to extract material from old, destroyed units. Since the only by-product of the recycling process is steel, a demolished unit is only worth half its production value.
