Empire Earth 2 Gold Edition

The reason i came to gog. I played this back in the days and i loved it. Not so overwhelming like the first one and perfectly balanced between micro and macro management, battles and improvements.

Für die GOG Version gibt es einen Fanpatch zu Umstellung auf Deutsch (sogar inklusive der Sprachkommentare!)

Vorweg muss gesagt werden, dass man dieses Spiel auf keinen Fall mit dennen aus unserer heutigen Zeit vergleichen sollte und darf! (Spiel stammt aus dem Jahr 2005). Erstmal ein großes lob an GOG, denn dank Ihnen kann ich eins meiner ersten Spiele aus der Kindheit wieder ohne Probleme unter Windows 10 spielen (Habe in meinem Tower kein Laufwerk mehr für meine DISC Version). NUN ZUM SPIEL: -Historisch korrekte Kampagnen -Random Terrar bei jedem Spiel -große Auswahl an Völkern -viele Spiel Modi -Multiplayer -alle Epochen (Zeitalter: Steinzeit bis Zukunft) Ich spiele dieses Spiel jetzt 13 Jahre und habe immer noch Spaß dran!

I really like this game's concept and atmosphere. Going through the ages is fun and the maps feel quite atmospheric. Unfortunately it's a bit rough around the edges both mecanically and graphically. Still, I cannot deny the fun I had playing it, so if you are an RTS fan I encourage you to check it out. BE AWARE: The included expansion does not get a shortcut upon installation, you need to launch it with EE2X.exe from the game folder.

Pros: * 4 distinct regions each with their own music/units/buildings/powers. * More options than EE1 by a long shot. * Ambient weather/seasons. * AI is not nearly as horrendous as EE1. Can be fine tuned. * Tech points are not resource based. * No tediously upgrading each unit. * Still graphically pleasing. * Future eras are way more believable than EE1. Cons (kind of): * Steep learning curve even for EE1 vets. With more options/mechanics comes more things to learn. * Territory mechanic forces land grab immediately, but I don't mind. I like that it forces progression and feels realistic in a way. Was annoying at first. * No prophets :( They were fun in EE1, but I can see why they felt them out. * Lots of different resource types. This is good though as it forces players that tech-up to retool their economy and allows time for others to catch up. You'll have to weigh teching up if you don't have a decent standing army already. Again, learning curve. * Feels more cramped on the maps than EE1. This is in part because of the way each building/unit exit is oriented. Once you figure it out, you can cram them together. Plus the borders force people near each-other fast. Again, I don't mind it; it's just different than EE1. All in all, a extremely solid game that is unmatched with the exception of perhaps the original in a few ways. Get it and install the unofficial patch 1.5. Adds resolution support, bug fixes, optional units (ballistic subs), etc. Good ol game if there ever was one.
