Empire Earth Gold Edition

This game is a dear favorite of mine, in part because I am a student of historical anthropology and warfare. As such, this game might as well have been made for me! Empire Earth is a strategy game somewhere between Warcraft and Civilization in structure, where you harvest resources (including hunting/gathering!) and attempt to build a civilization. The point of the game is either to win militarily or by constructing a set amount (typically 3) of "wonders" such as the library of Alexandria. What makes EE so epic in scope is the fact that you are constantly progressing through various "epochs" of development...so you might start with cavemen, and end with Napoleonic soldiers, or futuristic cyber men! This aspect of the game, particularly if you play through multiple epochs in one game, really illustrates the depth of the engine. The nuances of the game drastically change as you progress, as new technologies make older strategies and defenses obsolete. The first time I had to face aircraft was...interesting to say the least. Empire Earth is one of my favorite strategy titles of all time, and it sits right up top with Civilization and Total War in my opinion.

Pretty unique and interesting RTS. So many epoches and each has it's own units. I'll never forget bombing guys with clubs with helicopter, so much fun! Only one problem - it doesn't work on modern systems (I'm looking at you, windows 10). At least it doesn't work for me... :(

Like all the other reviews, this game is simply amazing and only it's sequel is on par (even then, plenty of people find EE1 superior). My only addition to other 5 star reviews is to get the Royal Champions mod/patch. It adds numerous types of randomly generated map styles, a few additional units, a few graphical improvements (nuke cloud), and resolution support for higher-res. Works on Win10 flawlessly.

I really lov this game, u should play it!!!. One of my top 3 rts overall.

at the moment doesn't work, boots up but then that banner disappears and nothing happens. waiting for Port Kit to do the magic like in heroes of might and magic 3.
