Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Campaign

"He or she who controls the warzone, commands the battle... He or she who commands the battle, conquers the warzone..."

-Tillith, from the excerpt of the encyclopedia "The Book of Elysea's Conflict"

In Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict, the player will go through fifteen story dubbed Tacitus Stories, each having two or more factions fighting each other, consisting of 12-15 missions, 3 per sub-faction, for each factions.

Overview

Each campaign mission features main objectives, the completion of which will instantly end the mission successfully. Several optional bonus objectives are additionally present, which can, when completed, make it easier for the main objectives to be completed and also affect future missions. All campaign missions can separately be given a difficulty rating on the "theater" screen before they are started; the available difficulty settings range from "Easy" to "Normal" to "Hard" to "Brutal" to "Elysea's Maddening".

As the player progresses through one of the campaigns, new entries in the game's "Intelligence Database" become unlocked, providing the player with additional background information on the storyline, the factions, the world of Gaiaterra, as well as their units and structures. Several of these database entries require the player to complete the bonus objectives of the various missions before they can be accessed. All cutscenes which the player has unlocked by progressing through the campaigns are made available for viewing at any time within the game's Bonus Gallery menu.

At the start of the game, only the Guardians of the Tacitus-affilated factions are playable in every Tacitus Story with the Destroyers of the Balthazar-affilated factions are unlocked through completing their Guardians of the Tacitus-affilated faction's respective Tacitus Story.
