Control the destiny of a fledgling civilization through as many as 500,000 years of human history. From meagre beginnings you must exploit the natural resources around you to build an empire capable of dominating the Earth. But your rise to supremacy will not go unchallenged. As was the case throughout history, rival civilizations are certain to oppose you every step of the way.

I do not care if I can't play this on my main computer, I'd like to say, before the time when Windows XP was a thing, this game was everything to me. I really loved it. Even Microsoft's website had a support page if you cannot play Empire Earth. I have Empire Earth + AOC on CD HOWEVER, I can't play it on my Windows 8. I really do miss this game, and wish to play it, but GoG and my CD won't play on it due to an error. Anyways, this game is amazing, suggest buying it! (Not for Windows 8 though... I suggest Windows 7 and Windows 10!)
Now I remember this was the bomb back when I was a kid. The possibility to go from clubmen to robots within a single game was awesome. A lot of people I am sure still look at this game from those rose coloured glasses. I dont think I personally got to play it that much so I wanted to give it a try. Heres what I can say:
The visuals from the game are kind of worse than Age of Empires, the game it is copying in a way. If you will adjust your expectations, it wont bother you that much, but it will matter later on.
The sound and voiceacting is alright, cant complain about anything there. Not amazing, but that part wont bother you.
The interface is pretty bad and outdated by todays standards. Its clunky, hard to understand what works with what and what counters what. Unit control and movement feels clunky as well. Comparing to AOE again, it is definitely inferior.
The campaigns are rather diverse and interesting. There are 4 centering around different eras, from Stone age for the greeks, to digital era for the Russians. They can be quite entertaining. If not for one thing ...
The gameplay sucks by todays standards. Now, you collect resources, build a base, build an army, wipe the other guy out, simple as that. The formula is fine, its implementation though ....
You will usually have a large supply of resources available, so that is never a problem. It will, however, take time to build up a force capable of disrupting, defeating an enemy in any significant way. If you take into account all of the aforementioned issues, it doesnt make the process all that fun. But thats not the worst of it. The AI cheats horendously. I heard it doesnt even use resources to produce units and buildings. If thats the case, the gameplay turns into a slog.
The combination of time sink with trial and error approach some missions force you to take, I honestly cant recommend this to anyone today who wishes to just have some fun.
Its a possibiliy to play EE in multiplayer? I meant, there is some group or something like that where you can joint with lan mode or something like that? Thanks
