Epsilon Structures

The Epsilon Construction Yard is the single most important structure in Yuri’s arsenal, providing all the construction options needed for Epsilon buildings and defenses. As such, it is a very high priority target for enemies. Destruction of your last construction unit means inability to continue base expansion. A Construction Yard provides a small amount of power as well.

Scorpion Cell has access to a fake decoy version of this structure.

Additional Information:

Yuri’s unethical technology begins at the very roots. The Bio Reactor is the main power supply for an Epsilon base, with a twist. The Bio Reactor can generate more power when infantry is placed inside it, drawing energy from their natural bio-electricity.

It is not uncommon for victims of mind control to end up as additional fodder for these structures. As the mind controlled subjects are sedated and remain unconscious while inside the reactor, this allows the controller to safely break the link and control another victim.

Additional Information:

The Epsilon Barracks is a shrine dedicated to Yuri’s vision, even so far as to be built in his likeness as Yuri’s voice constantly echoes through the structure, bringing confidence and bravery to those who serve him. With the Epsilon Barracks, a commander can train basic and advanced Epsilon infantry. The more Barracks a commander has on the field, the faster infantries are trained.

Additional Information:

The Ore Refinery is a technologically complex building completely outfitted to receive and process raw ore from miners, turn it into valuable metals and alloys, and instantly receive monetary transactions for other products while on the battlefield. This makes this structure a vital asset to any base economy.

Additional Information:

The War Factory allows for the production of Epsilon’s varied and often bizarre war machines on the battlefield. What strange technologies are used to produce these strange vehicles is anyone’s guess. The more War Factories a commander has on the field, the faster vehicles are built.

Additional Information:

A must on any battlefield with large bodies of water. The Epsilon Naval Shipyard allows for the construction of Epsilon ships and submersibles, and easily repairs any damaged vessels. The more Shipyards a commander has on the field, the faster ships are built.

Additional Information:

Radar Spires provide Epsilon commanders with the radar mini-map and clearance to use more potent technology. Additionally, it provides the use of genetically modified Ravens that function as advanced scouting units.

Additional Information:

SUPPORT POWER: Scout Raven

These buildings, unique to every Epsilon sub-faction, grant them a variety of support powers based on their own research. Psychvault unlocks the Mind Reader as well. Though relatively fragile, these structures and their accompanying support powers can give an Epsilon commander the edge he needs to overcome his enemies in battle.

Additional Information:

SUPPORT POWER #1A: Libra Clones

This support power is unique to PsiCorps.

SUPPORT POWER #1B: Molebomb

This support power is unique to Scorpion Cell.

SUPPORT POWER #2B: Infection

This support power is unique to Scorpion Cell.

The Pandora Hub serves as a central research lab for the most powerful of Epsilon technologies. As well as providing blueprints for Epsilon’s most insidious machines, it also serves as an uplink for additional support powers and the unlocking of Epsilon’s superweapons. Such a vital building must be protected well and its secrets guarded safely from enemies.

Additional Information:

SUPPORT POWER #1: Risen Railgun

SUPPORT POWER #2: Shadow Ring

Cloning used to be but a futuristic dream until Yuri turned it into a nightmarish reality. After defecting from the Soviets, Yuri took the technology for the Cloning Vats with him in order to quickly bolster his ranks. Producing near-perfect clones of already trained soldiers allowed Epsilon to effectively double the size of their infantry divisions.

The differences between a clone and a real soldier are not noticeable to a commander. However, the appearance of clones on the battlefield is known to unsettle Epsilon infantry as their doppelgangers possess an inherent ‘wrongness’ about them, like soulless versions of the original.

Additional Information:

Another one of Yuri’s inhumane inventions is the Grinder. A structure capable of breaking down both mechanical and organic material in order to be recycled as raw resources to fill Epsilon’s coffers. Many victims of mind control have met an untimely and grisly fate being fed to the Grinder when a commander deems them as no longer of use.

Additional Information:

The Rage Inductor is a curious but dangerous device. The weapon utilizes a powerful mixture of aerosol steroids, bio-augmentative chemicals, and hormones known as Terminus. Terminus has been developed in several different strains, one being the famous hallucinogenic gas which elicits uncontrollable bloodlust in its victims and is used by a few Epsilon units for offensive purposes.

The Rage Inductor utilizes a heavily modified strain classified as ‘B’ to enhance the effectiveness of Epsilon units. When used on infantry out in the open, the affected units will quickly perish as a result of the enormous physical stress the body endures when exposed to the high dose of Terminus B. However, the special filters in Epsilon vehicles allow for a more optimal usage of the drug which results in increased situational awareness, performance and reflexes.

Upon discovering this effect, the Allies and Soviets were quick to implement reverse-engineered filters in order to take advantage of the Rage Inductor should they come into possession of one.

Additional Information:

SUPPORT SUPERWEAPON: Rage

The Psychic Dominator is perhaps one of the greatest known threats to the freedom of humankind, developed to mind control vast amounts of subjects at once and capable of emitting psionic blasts that can cause wholesale destruction in a large radius. Rumors have spread that these beacons of Yuri’s will are being constructed all over the world in order to form a network to achieve global mind control. Pray that such a network does not exist, let alone comes online.

Scorpion Cell has access to a fake decoy version of this structure.

OFFENSIVE SUPERWEAPON: Domination

Citadel Walls are the last line of defense for an Epsilon proselyte. Cheap and quickly built, they serve as an early deterrence to infantry and light vehicles. Essential for protecting vulnerable structures against infiltration or capture.

Automatic gates are used to keep enemies out while still allowing friendly units to pass by defenses. Great for keeping prying spies from getting into your base too easily, but don’t rely on them too much.

Gatling Cannons are the primary defense emplacement of all Epsilon forces. A versatile and powerful rotary cannon capable of pumping out several thousand rounds a minute, it functions as both the main anti-infantry and anti-aircraft defense.

Though this dual purpose gives it a major advantage over its Allied and Soviet counterparts, it requires power to operate, making an Epsilon base much more dependant on a constant power source to protect itself from enemies.

Additional Information:

Tank Bunkers are structures which most turreted vehicles can enter to gain additional protection from enemy fire while still being able to retaliate. Though the occupier of a Bunker will become a much more difficult target to destroy for ground forces, aerial attacks will still easily bypass these entrenchments.

Additional Information:

Railgun Towers are complex defenses which utilize a beam of highly concentrated psychic energy to punch through armored forces and instantly dismember infantry. The exact technology behind the railgun is kept in secret by Epsilon, however the effects of it are obvious.

Additionally, unlike Tesla Coils or standard Prism Towers, the Railgun Tower is capable of hitting a number of units at once in a small radius. A special version of Railgun Tower can be spawned with the Risen Railgun support power, which will additionally provide healing for nearby units.

Additional Information:

Epsilon’s most advanced defense system, the Antares Battery, certainly shows Yuri’s different approach to technology than his ex-comrades have. Instead of utilizing conventional high-temperature weapons such as flamethrowers, the Antares uses concentrated thermal energy to annihilate groups of units at once. The weapon’s construction prevents close-range fire, making it an Achilles heel in its design.

Additional Information:

The Chimera Core is one of Epsilon’s most groundbreaking inventions in terms of stealth and obfuscation of their activity. Using a combination of powerful mental feedback and optical illusions, they can create an effect of vehicles and infantry not being at their actual position.

Unfortunately, the Chimera is not powerful enough to cloak buildings as the energy demand would become utterly impossible to fulfill for the larger Epsilon bases. If you do not have sensor units on hand, the Chimera Core should be your first target.

This structure is unique to PsiCorps.
Another interesting technology Yuri took with him when he defected. PsiCorps developed the Mind Reader to be used for espionage in the field. The Sensor has the incredible capability of detecting and revealing the intentions of adversaries to move or attack within the range of the Sensor. This allows PsiCorps commanders to see attacks or infiltrations coming from miles away and adequately prepare themselves.
