A Change of Heart is the fifth scenario of the Russian Campaign in Empire Earth.
Briefing[]
A Change of Heart: 2097
Grigor II has subdued all of Europe and Asia, but there is one world power with which he must still contend: the United States. Beyond a few skirmishes, little military nor diplomatic interaction has taken place between the Americans and Novaya Russians during this time. The US prepared for the presumed invasion, but refrained from launching offensives for fear of harming Grigor's captive population. Instead, they waited for him to come to them.
And now Grigor is doing just that. His troops under newly promoted General Molotov have been sent to set up operations in the Caribbean. The Americans have responded by sending forces to bolster the defenses of their ally, Cuba. The final showdown has begun.
History[]
Years of war had taken more than a physical toll on Sergei Molotov. In addition to having a sizable portion of his body replaced with electronics, he had begun to wonder if Grigor II was truly acting in the best interests of Novaya Russia. The bloody campaign in China - and his unfortunate accident - had forced him to rethink what was truly important in life.
Novaya Russia was a strong State and had been for many years now, thanks to the first Grigor. this, Molotov felt sure, was a good thing. But when he considered the people... were they really better off now than they had been back then under their original leader? Of course, the State had to maintain order and security, but at what price? And did a strong Novaya Russia necessarily entail the complete domination of the rest of the world?
Following his lengthy recuperation, Molotov was promoted to General and given command of the forces destined to invade the Western hemisphere. He was assured by Grigor II that this would be the last war, for after the US there were no others strong enough to pose a threat to Novaya Russia. And even the US was not the force she had been at the beginning of the Century. With her allies and trading partners mostly gone, and her economy in decline due to oversea loans of money and material that might never be repaid, the United States could not hope to last long against Novaya Russia's battle-tested forces. After this final fight, Molotov hoped, he could retire to a simple life in a safe and united world.
Objectives[]
- Use the island of Hispaniola as a stepping stone to reach Cuba.
- Build a military base on Cuba consisting of 3 Cyber Factories, 2 Docks, and a Navy Yard.
- Destroy the Cubans' Capitol in Havana, and build a new Town Center or Capitol on the same spot.
- Build a Time Machine in Cuba and defend it while it powers up. Then, Molotov and Molly must be brought right next to it.
Hints[]
- The United States is still quite powerful and an attack too soon is not recommended. You can also never tell when an enemy might become an ally.
- Space on the islands can be limited. You may be better off developing Carriers if you need Air support.
- The residents of Hispaniola do not need to be defeated, although leaving them alone may prove a hindrance.
- The Hyperion's ability to walk underwater and over cliffs could prove useful.
