Empire Earth Gold Edition

Very annoying that game keeps crashing for syncing with GOC cloud.

I love that it is simple and provide recreation. Not the best grafik but thats the point. It is an old game

At the time, it was shocking to play to this games from the primitive age to the future age. Still it is fun to play :)

I loved this game as a kid and it is still just as incredible now. This game has rich complexity, good campaigns, good multiplayer and such a huge range of human history ranging from the stone age to the future. I remember playing as a little kid against my younger brother. He didn't know how to age up so at the end of our game, he was throwing sticks and stones against my robot army as I was launching black holes at his primitive stone age army, ha ha ha...

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.
