Earth 2160

Only a few thousand people managed to save themselves from the destruction of Earth in 2150. They spent the next few years reclaiming the red planet, developing new technologies and building new civilizations. The three factions did so each in their own way on their own territory. ED - Euroaasian Dynasty, LC - Lunar Corporation, UCS - United Civilised States. But in the year 2160, a strange event occurred. Will the Earth factions stand against each other, or will they unite and face the new threat together?

The player can play as one of the Earth factions or as an alien race. A new feature is an economic system based on three resources, with no race using all three at the same time. Each race also has its own 'technology tree' and thus has a different disposition at each stage of the game.
Also new is the system of 'Agents' that the player can hire for a mission. Each has special abilities and helps with a certain aspect of the game (research, mining, giving orders, scouting, stealing technology). Agents are 'auctioned off' before the game starts. They also remember their previous contracts and how the player took care of them, and also have different relationships with each other. All of this affects their price.
The missions take place not only on Mars and other planets in the Solar System and their moons (Io), but also further out in space.
