Red Faction Civs - The Earth Defense Force

Any Red Faction: Guerrilla fans here? This mod adds the Earth Defense Force, also known as those guys who can't seem to keep their buildings in one piece for longer than a week, thanks to Alec Mason.

====!!!! IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTICE !!!!====
This mod requires the Brave New World expansion pack to work, and WILL NOT function properly without it. However, as with every other mod I have created, I have chosen not to modify the dependency setting to require Brave New World, so those that do not have it can use the mod as they please. However, the mod is almost guaranteed to be a horribly broken - but playable - mess without the second expansion pack, so if you do not have the Brave New World expansion pack, proceed into a game with this mod at your own risk.


====Description====
The Earth Defense Force, led by Admiral Lucius Kobel, is a very industrial-oriented Civilization thanks to a bonus based around industrial and economic power. This allows EDF cities to produce units and structures much faster than any other Civ, making the Earth Defense Force a formidable opponent regardless of victory type. Whether they are producing units for a Domination Victory, Science structures for a Science Victory, or building up a strong economy, they are able to do these things much more effectively than other Civilizations, rocketing ahead of the pack in the Production and Gold game. In addition, their two incredibly powerful late-game unique Units make the Earth Defense Force a Civ that is not to be underestimated in modern combat, especially when the nukes start flying. However, their main weakness is in their Aluminum stores, as both of their unique units require two Aluminum to build.


====Unique Ability - Ore Supports Earth====
The Earth Defense Force receives +2 Production and +1 Gold for every Mine.

====Unique Unit 1 - EDF Main Battle Tank====
The EDF Main Battle Tank, while slightly weaker and slower than the Giant Death Robot it replaces, is still a formidable opponent on the battlefield thanks to its combat capabilities that allow it to hold its own against most threats. Its main strength comes from the fact that it costs slightly less Production to build, and requires two Aluminum resources rather than one Uranium, allowing the Earth Defense Force to divert its Uranium stores...elsewhere.

====Unique Unit 2 - EDF Mobile Rocket Artillery====
The EDF Mobile Rocket Artillery is a devastating opponent on the battlefield, having a whopping 100 points of Combat Strength and 90 points of Ranged Strength compared to the Rocket Artillery it replaces. This allows it to annihilate enemy positions efficiently and effectively across a wide variety of combat engagements. From besieging enemy cities, to holding back invading armies, or engaging and destroy enemy forces, there is very little that the EDF Mobile Rocket Artillery cannot do. However, this power comes at a price, as the Mobile Rocket Artillery requires two Aluminum resources to build, and is available later in the tech tree at Advanced Ballistics rather than Rocketry.



====Questions and Answers====
Question: Where did you get that color scheme from? That looks nothing like the EDF soldiers and vehicles in the game!

Answer: The color comes from EDF structures. Specifically, the exact structure I used to get the colors was the gas pump station near the Oasis Convoy Station. The blue comes from the EDF logo, while the greyish comes from the building itself.
