	The Broken Earth scenario is one of the two scenarios available in the [[Dark Skies]] DLC. It begins in the year 2112, one hundred and fifty years into an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis led to a nuclear exchange that destroyed much of human civilization. It includes a number of adjustments to the setup of the game to emphasize the post-apocalyptic nature of the setting, most of which serve to increase the role of terrestrial warfare (especially in the early game).
