Ask for {total} Translators to interpret messages and threats from around the world.
Build {total} Power-Ups because you can't resist showing off a little at the summit.

Fight the Titans, you must get to the villains they're protecting.

That was awesome Commander! The way you went after those Titans was truly inspiring. But they're not all down yet.

Collect {total} Mini Target Missiles, to help lure the Titans into the open.
Win {total} Battle Blitz fights just to prove that you're not scared of anyone.

Hint: Dig into your ally address book to find other guardians of democracy. You won't regret it.

Quest Hook: Your ally is in trouble with fanatic rebels threatening a coup. You must rally with other leaders to stop the threat.

Quest Pop-up: Commander, your ally leader could be overthrown by rebel fanatics. They mean to curb everyone's freedom. This goes against the very fabric of democracy. You must help stop this horrific threat in its tracks!

Collect from {total} houses to help with the mission.

2 - Battle Plan Bickering

On the road to Ardania's aid, you've run into a speed bump. That nation you can't stand is in this alliance and they're contradicting everything you suggest. Some people need to grow up. I don't blame you for losing your cool.

Collect {total} Diplomat Status Documents for immunity while travelling.
Fend off a rebel group on your way back.
Place {total} Tanks around your empire to protect yourself.

The forces are ready and raring to go Commander. That impassioned speech about fighting for freedom really did the trick!

4 - Internal Conflict

This is ridiculous Commander, there's fighting all right but it's between you and your ally. You may both believe you'd be best in the most battle-torn areas, but one of you needs to stand down.

Ask for {total} Battle Strategists to chalk out your moves.
Pillage {total} times to gather information on rebel activity.
Gather {total} {Ore} to power some heavy duty units.

Commander, I congratulate you on your zeal. However, you need to come to a decision fast, these petty fights are holding things up.

5 - Smarter Move

Commander, I'm proud of you. You backed down in the interest of saving the nation in distress. That's true courage! Now station your troops in your designated zone.

Request {total} GPS Scramblers so the enemy can't locate us.
Build {total} Air Units to station at your respective zones.
Deploy {total} Grunt Soldiers. They're the best suited for this job.

All set Commander. The troops are ready to fight, you've got your snipers stationed and units primed. You're ready to fight. Bring it!

6 - Dealing with Differences

Collect {total} Military Medical Aid Kits to help the wounded.
Complete {total} Waves of Survival Mode. Now that's a challenge.
Win {total} Battle Blitz fights using Land Units.

Commander, you're a star! You never hesitated to send help even though you probably thought they deserved what they were getting.

Ask for {total} Tranquilizer Bullets to knock out the rebels.
Win {total} World Domination fights and show those rebels who not to mess with.
Use the Experimental healing ability {total} times in Battle. Your ally needs it.

Well done Commander! You won and took several rebels into custody. The people of Ardania are in your debt and your pesky ally is shaking your hand.

All's well that ends well Commander. It's time to sit back, put up your feet and join everyone in celebratory banquet, in honor of you and the winning alliance.

Ask for {total} Honor Pins to award your brave soldiers.
Earn {total} Black Hearts. All press is good press they say.

Megaseries #2
Lasts from June 28, 2012 - August 02, 2012

This is your wakeup call. There really is other life out there and they're paying you a very unwelcome visit. Prepare for a battle like never before!

It's an alien invasion! Red alert Commander, and call in some extraterrestrial experts right now. This is no science fiction movie; it's as real as you and me. The fate of the planet could be in our hands!

1 - Star-struck!

Commander, I don't believe it! We used to laugh at the thought of an invasion from space, and now they've really arrived. I doubt these alien bots come in peace.

Hint: Wear thick gloves while handling those sample rocks.

Collect {total} Rock Boxes to gather samples from around the site.
Collect {total} Coins to buy your freedom if all else fails.
Clear {total} trees from Neighbors' Empires. You need wood to build barricades.

So far there seems to be no overt danger Commander. But they are up to something and I don't trust them. It may be best you call out your armed forces.

2 - Extraterrestrial Experts

This is like being awake in a bad dream. UFO experts used to be a laughing stock and we're now treating them like VIPs. Commander, get your security team to investigate the bots, but don't go too close!

Hint: Keep a safe distance from the site; you never know where those aliens have been.

Gather {total} UFO Specialists to study the crash site.
Earn {total} Red Hearts, to please Neighbors and get their support.
Harvest {total} Strawberries and serve with cream, as a team treat.

Your team worked well together. You've set up strategic security watch points and you've got some great information. Good job!

3 - The Cover Up

Are those cheeky alien bots trying to set up a force field? I knew they weren't up to any good. We're trying to communicate with them and they're trying to shut us out literally!

Hint: It's beginning to look like the only language these aliens understand, is force.

Collect {total} Neutrino Systems to try and communicate with the aliens.
Collect {total} {Ore} to build more units, you may need them.
Pillage Neighbors {total} times; these are desperate times, so be selfish.

You've done a good job of surveillance and investigation. But now they've got a force field up. What next?

4 - Space Thieves

Those sneaky aliens, they're drilling into the ground, stealing our precious resources no doubt! We waste resources too, but at least they're ours. Commander, fire at the force field, we must stop them!

Hint: This may be a valuable lesson in why we need to preserve our resources.

Collect {total} Protection Suits to ensure zero alien contamination.
Win {total} Battle Blitz fights, to keep your men in top shape.
Harvest {total} Wheat as food reserves for your troops.

Commander, you've done your best to resolve this without fatalities, but that force field is still up. Now it's time for action and we mean hard action.

5 - Force the Issue

Ok, it's time to take off the kid gloves. These aliens need to be taught a lesson and there's no time like the present in which to do the teaching. We must bring down that force field. All units at the ready!

Hint: This force field must have an Achilles' heel. You just have to find it.

Ask for {total} Ultrasonic Noise Protectors for your soldiers to wear.
Repel {total} invasions from Neighbors' Empires, so they help you fight the aliens, in return.
Earn {total} Black Hearts; it may fill those aliens with terror.

You really tried Commander, I'll give you that. Don't lose heart, there's got to be a way we can destroy that protective alien shield.

6 - Power Down!

Commander, I have an idea that may work. Look at those machines near the force field perimeter. They may be generators. Aim your most powerful unit at them and fire with a mind to destroy.

Hint: Hit them hardest at their weakest point.

Ask for {total} C4 Explosives to blow up the generators.
Survive {total} waves in Survival Mode and show them that you're tough!
Build {total} Power-Ups to gain the advantage in battle.

That's the way Commander. You destroyed the generators and the force field is down. Show those aliens that they messed with the wrong planet.

7 - That Bombed

The bots are not protected by the force field anymore; it's your chance to get 'em. I've infused some element Z into these shells. Let's hope this works.

Hint: Element Z is powerful, but remember that this is alien tech you're trying to beat.

Collect {total} Element Z Shells to bomb the bots.
Fight those alien bots; give it your best shot.
Use {total} Power-Ups in battle, to give yourself a necessary boost.

Don't give up yet Commander. You did some damage, but they seem to be using the stolen resources to reassemble themselves. Keep trying.

8 - Aim to Maim

Keep trying. It's imperative that we destroy those alien bots. Bring in your sharp shooters and all the missiles you've stored away for a rainy day. There's got to be a weak point that we can penetrate.

Hint: Remember: They might be strong, but you're fighting to save your world.

Collect {total} Target Missiles to attempt more damage.
Fight the alien bots and show them you rule.
Harvest {total} Chili Peppers, to spice up this fight.

Take courage Commander. I've never seen men fight so bravely and with such passion. They're up and attacking us again, but I know you can win this!

9 - Alien Annihilation

Go, go, go! This could be your last chance and possibly the last chance to save the planet. You must press ahead, using all the fire power at your disposal to defeat the alien bots.

Hint: Don't hold back. Just don't! You have everything to gain by winning.

Collect {total} Transport Trucks to take away the debris, so the battlefield is clear.
Fight the aliens and win a great victory for your Empire.
Win {total} World Domination fights, to display your superiority.

You did it! That was just out of this world Commander! You defeated the aliens, saved your Empire and possibly removed a threat to this planet.

Final Rewards

Commander, the planet owes you a debt of gratitude! The Alien Bots are yours, but don't let your guard down just yet. Click on the crater to put up your own force field, before you continue your research on the spaceship.

Lasts from June 25, 2012 - July 30, 2012

Doctors are flummoxed, unable to find the cause of the epidemic. We have to put together a special task force. I will take the lead on this and figure out what is going on here.

Hint: You can progress down both paths at once. The top path will earn you the SpecOps Badger Tank and the bottom, the SpecOps Horten Bomber!

Quest Hook: A rapidly spreading epidemic plagues your entire country. You need to get to the bottom of this and stop it before it's too late.

Quest Pop-up: Commander, we have a serious problem on our hands. We've been getting reports of a rapidly spreading epidemic across the country. Doctors can't seem to pinpoint what exactly it is. All we know is that it's fast and it kills faster.

1 - Angry Farmers

Commander our problem just got bigger. We've got hundreds of farmers protesting outside the parliament right now, they claim that they've lost batches of produce. It's all inedible.

Get {total} Pedestrian Barricades to manage the crowd.
Collect from {total} Government Structures to provide possible compensation.
Earn {total} Red Hearts to get the support you might need.

We've issued a statement of reassurance that everything will be resolved at the earliest possible. I've even put together a team of scientists to go out and visit the farms.

TOP PATH

Get {total} Field Equipment to help our scientists on their assignment.

Gather {total} {Ore} to build better farming equipment.

Commander we have the answer! It turns out that some industrial doofus has been digging pits and dumping toxic waste straight in, without lining these landfill pits.

We should buy the damaged farm land, whatever the cost. This is an expensive move and your advisors are not all behind you on this one but it makes for good PR.

Ask for {total} Cheque Books for all those cheques you're going to be handing out.
Gather {total} coins to help pay for all the land.
Win {total} Battle Blitz fights to protect your vulnerable nation.

This has seemed to pacify our angry farmers quite a bit. They relish the idea of living in retirement with enough money to go around.

Hire {total} Land Surveyors to gauge the size, fertility and cleanliness of the land.

Get {total} Government Stamps for all the official documents you need to prepare.

Commander, don't forget, we've got to hold talks with the neighboring leader and promise to compensate him for any losses he has faced. I'll have our scientists work overtime to find a cure for the patients suffering from toxic poisoning.

Use Experimental Healing ability {total} times in battle.

Get {total} Border Reaction Teams to deal with the aftermath of an attack.
Upgrade your Air Depot once.
Destroy {total} Air Units to keep the enemy out of our airspace.

We did as you said Commander and shot the trespassing unit down. The pilot did not survive. I'm afraid we might just get an even bigger reaction from our neighbors now.

Get {total} Emergency Boats for all the patrol units.
Deploy {total} Sea Units to protect ourselves from more attacks.

We've got all our bases covered. The enemy would be stupid to attack now.

Hire {total} Personal Security Details to protect our not-so-nice neighbor.
Win {total} Battle Blitz fights using Sea Units.
Earn {total} Black Hearts.

And one successful strike later, there's nothing left of the enemy camp. Congratulations, Commander.

Collect {total} Secure Briefcases to transport the Cure.
Harvest {total} Sweat Potatoes to sample produce from the new farmland.
