Empire Earth Gold Edition

NOTE: Windows 8 users, I found disabling any kind of Compatability Mode fixed all my issues with running this game. It came installed with it on by default for WinXP for some odd reason. Ah, the golden years of fantastic strategy games. Friends and I spent many, many hours against the AI trying to turtle and cheese our way to victory. Towers, walls, catapaults, archers...fantastic! The two sequels to this just don't compare, in my opinion. Do you want a strategy game that spans the stone age to the nano age? Want to be droppin' some nukes on a civilization still stuck in the renaissance period? Want to fly planes over guys still wielding swords? This is the game for you. Of course, that's just one aspect of the game. Play it however you wish. The music is pretty good. Sound effects are decent. Graphics fit the period the game was released and you can't hold its dated game engine at fault. It also comes with a clunky map maker. Once you figure it out, it works fine. Definite 10/10 from me, though. Wish there was a modern equivalent, but there just isn't.

I have loved this game my whole life and want to recreate this game for new people to play. I remember sneaking out to my computer room just to play this game when I was 10 (17 now). This is the best strategy game I've ever played (I love strategy games) I was spoiled by this game at a young age, and now when I play this I realize how other games don't compare. (talking to you Civ and aoe) The compatibility is rough at best for some users, especially windows 8 or 10. I would like to update the engine, enhance graphics, and compatibility. NO MECHANIC CHANGES, yet. After the remolded game is complete I'd like to save it, then copy it to then add game minor mechanics that we deem worthy, units, and other features. NOTICE: we'd keep and try to release the remodel and then the remake separately so people can enjoy the game how they want. My e-mail is john@broach.com Any help is appreciated, you don't need skills, just the want to help. We can make due and learn how to do new things. Programming, and 3-D modeling is not necessary to help, anyone with the want to help can help in one way or another. Please and thank you!

STAY AWAY FROM THE GOG GALAXY INSTALLATION! I had freezing and crashing issues with the game but as soon as I installed it from the offline installer and set compatibility to Windows 8 + disabled fullscreen optimization I could run the game at 1920*1440 without any issues. (apart from game alt+tabbing to desktop when it loads but it returns to the game afterwards). I am still hoping for 2560x1440 even as a hex hack.

Don’t waste your money if you want to relive your old multiplayer experiences. This game requires a CD key to host Lan and Direct-Connect games but GoG does not provide a CD key for this game. Attempting to request one from their support also doesn’t work as they seem unaware of this requirement. The listing indicating DRM free and multiplayer support is false advertising.

Multiplayer isn't working properly. The game doesn't allow to join any games.
