Earth 2150 Trilogy

I remember playing this game years ago and this was one of the best RTS for me. I do not buy it only becauseI have dvd release.

I remember when I was introduced to this game back in 2001, upon being told Total Annihilation wasn't in stock. I remember staring at box screen shots thinking to myself, "well, it looks good, but something this good looking probably has like 5 units". I was SO wrong! I'd put this right up there with Total Annihilation and any other RTS I'd list under "BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME"! Kohan, Warzone 2100, Escape Velocity Nova and Earth 2150 all have this wonderful modular mechanic and I hope we will continue to see it implemented for decades to come.

....but English dubbing is so annoying! Polish voices was far more better. If you ever had chance to use Polish dubbing - do it. Game itself is really nice. Best part of Earth 21xx series. Great atmosphere, nice gameplay - and of course custmizable units :)

...your frustration-level is low. This game has THE WORST pathfinding-A.I. of any early 3D RTS out there. "Oh that guy is overreacting!" DUDE! NO! I play the earth-series a lot (Mostly The Moon Project) and i know, what i am talking about, when i say, that this A.I. will drive you nuts. Let me give an analogy, that is easier to understand: Let's say, you have a self driving car, that is powered by this games A.I. You get into the car, just to drive to your neighbor, that lives on the left of your house. It is just 5 meters, next door, okay? All, the car has to do is, to go down the driveway, turn left, go for 5 meters and you're there, okay? This A.I. will turn right...drive you around the city, just to come in on the other side. Yes, you have reached the goal, but at what cost? THAT'S the pathfinding in this game...for ONE unit! God help you, if you are trying to move armies, because the units will block each other. They'll cancel each others movement and they'll do so, while there are shorter alternives. I learned to deal with that, by babysitting my units and if you are willing to do so, this game is pretty fun. It has lots to offer, the unit-editor is great. You basically mix and match, until you have something you like. It is a lot of fun, IF...you are able to deal with the A.I., which is why i removed two stars. Yes! TWO stars, because the pathfinding is THAT bad.

TL;DR: If you liked the game back in the days, you will still like it today. By chance I was reminded about The Moon Project, which I liked to play 20 years ago. I learned out about the current issues when running the game (e.g. widescreen crash). So I use 4:3 resolution and downloaded a script "Earth 2150 Mix Sets by Junior_Djjr" because I had bad mouse response. The script also makes the game smoother by allowing 60 fps. I did not expect to have that much fun, but the game still feels good. When I was young I could not figure out every game mechanic. That is interesting to explore now. I enjoy plaing the overpowerd LC a lot :D Have fun!
