Empire Earth Gold Edition

I played it in former times when it came out. At this time it was THE SH*T because of this really nice feature to evolve until NANO Age. I started playing the game again a few days ago and i have to say it didn´t age well. I do not talk about the graphics or the behaviour of the AI. The game was made by the guy who also made Age of Empires earlier. I guess he wanted to do somethink fancy and new. In 2001 it WAS kind of fancy. But if you were looking for a real-time-strategy game just stay with Age of Empires. For all the others who played the game in former times. It was so cool to play the campagne again. So many nostalgic memories came up. I even had to laugh a lot because I didn´t remember how simple some dialogues were. Nevertheless it is a nice game! If you are new into real-time-strategy just dont start with this one :)

This game steals so much of your time, it creates a warp bubble! I can hardly count how many times I have put into this game, creating my own civs, trying them out, each new game a new plan to rule the world, a new experiment, new play style. Also, it mixes Age of Empires and Civilization. Could it be any better? That's like mixing bacon with another bacon strip! Enough said.

Empire Earth. Feel like The Antichrist, A tyranical mythological god, and a battlefield genious all at once. Use cheat codes to destroy your enimies or let them challange you by taking the high road. Not enough good things can be said about my childhood favorite. Its one of the many reasons I became a soldier myself. It is one of the greatest games I have ever played and at this price? Cant go wrong. Finally almost anything can play this, even my clunker can run this old game like a pro. Have a bad computer? No. Problem. 9/10 easy 5/5 because I HAD to round this bad boy up a star.

EE is a rather unique RTS that is somewhat akin to Age of Empires, but stretches upon a much longer period of time. It also features new concepts like buildings (or units) with particular area effects or protections again specific things. The interesting twist of the game is that there's much more to balance between economy and military than there is in for example Age of Empires. However, you should know that this game has two particular 'nuisances': 1. Units, especially ships are navigating terribly and it's sometimes a random back and forth when moving since the one unit wants to go to another place than the other one does. 2. The AI itself is terrible (because the game is more complex than e.g. AoE) and employs an insane amount of cheats to be challenging. This is particularly problematic because the cheats make certain strategies that work against human players moot: For instance, AI enemies get a huge amount of resource income for 'free', i.e. they still get it even if there are no citizens working. That leads to strategic bombardment being not as effective as you'd think it to be, as destroying all town centers will only slightly slow down troop production if such facilities still exist. Overall, this leads to a battle against a AI player making a lot of strategies that would work against non-cheating players not working and alter the gameplay a lot.

sending me back to being just 5 when this came out (not long ago) and playing it everyday till i got a windows 8 computer, the reason? it will not work on windows 8 unless you have a good nvidia gpu, yes strange but it seems to have a problem with intel integrated graphics and windows 8 so if you have both windows 8 and intel integrated graphic only, 3 words... DON'T BUY IT... unless you have an nvidia gpu
