-Game Nation
Empires: Dawn of the Modern World delivers great strategic gaming that's based on great historical civilizations.
-daytrum Review
Games can be truly epic. Resources are plentiful, maps are huge, and battles are insane.
-Armchair Review
Fans of Age of Empires will want this title. Three story-based modes, another 5 eras and 7 civilizations, random map generator, and both single and multiplayer game modes. Enough to keep you busy for hours and hours.
-Elited
Make no mistake, the single-player campaigns are great, but the multiplayer gives you and your friends more freedom to create the RTS atmosphere of your dreams.
-ActionTrip
The 3D engine delivers very beautiful images and when you zoom in, you really get the feeling of being right in the action.
-FragLand Review
The three campaigns are long enough that this really is almost like three games in one.
-GameRaider’s review
Create your own games with the robust scenario editor. You can actually construct complete campaign for play.
-Gamer’s Pulse
As each chapter of history unfolds, you find yourself dealing with new technologies and unlocking more complex examples of advanced warfare. In the final campaign, airplanes and armored vehicles roll into gameplay, as well as flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and atomic weapons.
-InTheMix
The campaigns feature engrossing storylines, like Richard the Lionheart's ascension to the throne. There are points in the campaigns where players will have to make difficult choices.
-Gigex
Empires: Dawn of the Modern World has done something that not many titles have done too recently, drawn me into a world and not let me to till the wee small hours.
-Gamer Archive
With a full time line of epochs, theres a lot to keep track of. All the civilizations have different bonuses and that can turn the tide of war. Russia has weak but cheap infantry in WW2, and gets 7 workers for free. Chinese get two free town-centers, and are very versatile in their economic needs.

Blast from the past
There's just some games that stick in the back of your mind for years and years and this is one of them. An excellent strategy game that has mostly been lost but not forgotton. I've played other games like this but they've always seemed to fall short to this one. The fact that you can start a civilization using swords and bows to having them drop massive bombs that obliterate giant sections of the map is so cool!

Love this game
An oldie but a goodie. I have lots of fond memories playing this game back in the day. I use it now to muck around wth the scenario editor mainly, but highly recomend it for a good vintage RTS experience. 10/10.

Nostalgia
I played this game when I was growing up. I completely forgot about it until some years ago when I found it on GOG. Now that I am older, though not much wiser, I find it soothing to just casually play this game when I have some downtime. It's been a blast from the past and it has become the game I play when I just wanna relax. 5/5 stars!
