Empire Earth Gold Edition

I could never play the game on windows10, it would always freeze

Can't get this to run on Windows 10 with a GTX 1070ti. Kind of defeats the purpose of GOG, in my mind.

Thesis my dear

Age of Empires the way it should have been. You get to play through not 4 or 5 measly ages, but from the stone age all the way into the fictional future! You can have your riflemen fight off waves of enemy swordsmen, or upgrade your infantry to cyborg soldiers. Walls that have a purpose for the first 10 or so "ages" then becoming (understandably) obsolete when long-range artillery gets invented. No game has every sumarized the evolution of warfare so perfectly as Empire Earth 1. Both EE2 and EE3 ditched RTS for the "flavor of the month" style of RTS that was becoming popular -- "Sector conquest". Lot of good that did ya!

Empire Earth combines a combination of endless ages of advancement, with resource harvesting, offensive and defensive tactical strategies, and operational awareness. While not as pretty as Age of Empires, Empire Earth gives players more freedom to do what they want how they want, as well as multitudes of technology, and units in which to defend and attack their foes. Empire Earth combines a good amount of storytelling scenarios with a good basis of PvP worlds, as well as a world creator. Very few games strive to be as good as the Original Empire Earth, including Civilization. Since its all Real-Time there is no turns, you must think on your feet, and prepare for the best and the worst.
