Empire Earth Gold Edition

It was awesome 19 years ago when i played it as a kid, its awesome today. Imo, better than Age of Empires and Raise of Nations.

This game is, without a doubt, one of the best strategy games ever created. The gameplay is similar to Ages of Empires with a MASSIVE difference, it's far more complex and waaaaaay faster. Being able to customize the civilizations creates a wide range of posibilities especially when playing in multiplayer, since the same civilization can be extremely different due to customization. The notifications can be tweaked around, although I honestly advice to leave them as they are...yes, it can be pretty annoying at the beginning feeling like we are being just spammed, with time, as you keep playing it, you will TREASURE them as they give us real-time alerts of what's going on in our gameplay. I've played this game since it was first released, and is actually (along with Monkey Island and a couple more games) the only game I've been continuously playing for years. If you've played this one before I have nothing to add since you actually know how good it is; if you've just discovered this title...go for it, you will never regret it. It does run on Windows 7, 10 and 11, might need some tweaking though, if not just play it via GOG GALAXY app. Oh! the game is completely in English but it's easy to change the language, might ask via forum to add the files around since this is just a review.

The game crashes immediately after the "Empire Earth" splash screen in Windows 10. Compatibility settings didn't help. However in the forum someone posted a link to a mod that fixes that particular issue, and it worked for me: https://empireearth.eu/drexmod/

Game runs fine for me on windows 10 and this is such a nostalgic game. Would recommend to any RTS fan.

Empire Earth is a masterpiece of a game and sadly very overlooked in the RTS landscape. It is by far (and I mean this) the most ambitious RTS ever made spanning over twenty eras/epochs of human history with in-depth units on all battlefronts (sea, land and air). The scope of the game is just insane and there are many different civilizations to play. think of Empire Earth as Age Of Empires on steroids then times that by an order of magnitude. I fell in love with Empire Earth and between the absolute crazy scale, awesome campaigns and active passionate communities you have a masterpiece RTS game.
