Empire Earth Gold Edition

I used to play this from the time I was 5 till I was 7 and moved. I remember being so addicted I stayed up all night playing this. Literally. I recently found this website that still selling so it'll be great being able to play this game again. I strongly recommend this to anyone who likes strategy type games. But if you have no patience, you better find the cheats. I just wish there would be more people to play online with. =D

(Based on original CD-ROM release, not GOG version.) If you are a fan of RTS games, then this is a must-have. Enjoyable campaign. LAN play. AI is fairly amusing and relatively difficult. Voice acting is a bit funny ("cheesy") at times. Campaign and level editor. Damage calculations can be odd and unrealistic (a shot of a tank usually doesn't kill a citizen).

I spent endless hours with fighting against multiple AI opponents, the scenarios, the campaings, all of them. It has a decent graphics (in it's age of course). Epic gameplay, through 12 or 13 "ages", like roman, mediaval, etc. Customizable unit strengths both nation and game level. Customizable nations. Balanced unit set, and quite many of them. Built-in, intuitive modding facility. Availibility of user made scenarios, at later stages they ment the most fun, i also made one for this game, the Peak Oil. The Empire Earth 2 was a disappointment for me, i would stick to this one, and never played with the 3rd.

This is by far the best game period. I used to spend so many hours playing this over LAN with my brother. Building up the massive nuke army and watch the screen stay white for about a minute. Beats Age of Empires simply cause of all the ages, I loved going through them all, even if it does take abit of time. Watching my tanks roll over people horsemen armies. If you like a game where you need more then a day to sometimes finish it, then you will love it more.

The game Empire Earth came out after games like Age of Empires made building empires from primitive beginnings to a more glorious age was fashionable. The scope of the game is massive, including at least 20 ages (or I think the game called them Epochs) ranging from the Stone Age to a futuristic Nano Age. All along the way you gather resources, build units, enlist heroes, build wonders, and advance your way through time. However, the game was just tedious to play. While the scope of the game was great, the AI was just too determined to hang in the game. If there was enough money for 1 town center, they'd build it and rebuild. No matter how many units you send scouring a map, it's incredibly difficult to eliminate a computer from the game. While I enjoyed the game for the most part, the game just ended up being lackluster for me. If you like RTS games that can take as long as TBS games, then Empire Earth is the game for you!
