Empire Earth Gold Edition

I'm always a bit reticent about buying too old games at GOG (This site is AWESOME) because of compatibility issues and stuff. This game runs flawless on 1440p. I went back to my school days when I struggled for running this game decently, I remember lowering the Res down to 480p 'cause the game used to lag LOL! Now it flies. Good time to be alive!

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.
