Empire Earth Gold Edition

For a couple years in early 00s, Empire Earth stood out in the RTS genre. Age of Empires was the grand daddy of the "advancing through the ages of civilization" RTS sub genre. Empire Earth came along and kicked that up to 11. Start as hunter gatherers, advance to far future. It was a great alternative for people who wanted even more scope to their Age of Empire clones. But then Rise of Nations came out in 2003 and did everything EE did, but much better. To this day, Rise of Nations is the closest an RTS ever came to an in depth game of Civilization. Sure, RoN owed a lot to EE for laying the groundwork, but the EE series never caught up. RoN remained superior for scope, while the Age of Empires games continued to refine themselves as a more refined traditional RTS experience. Empire Earth got left behind in a middle ground that was outdone by other games. Play Age of Empires 2 or Age of Mythology if you want a "historical" themed traditional RTS. Play Rise of Nations if you want a grand scope, meaty RTS civ sim.

Nice game, can run in win10 ,but will jump out when you use the 2k resolution. fix it plz

I remember when tried playing it on my former classmate disc recently and just didn't work as of massive incompatibility issues and Windows 10's problem solving skills when it comes to compatibility is utterly useless. The itself game offers a deep empire, army, religion magic and territory defense gameplay. For my nostalgia, this game was not as good as I imagined, but for sure a game what you usually pick back up to play it. Here are the pros and cons of what the game really has: Pros: - Maximum compatibility on GoG and nowhere else. Just buy it HERE and HERE ONLY if you want to play it properly! The game really worth it's cost. - Long duration RTS gameplay leading you through history as you micromanaging your resources and important units defending your empire. - Semi-valuable upgrading branch, but really expensive gameplay-wise and sometimes doesn't even worth it. If you want to really upgrade one thing in your army, then it has to be shooters range. Cons: - Getting necessary resources might be really difficult as your empire develops, because you can only recruit a limited amount of townspeople to work for you and there's literally no way of increasing their maximum capacity. - The tutorial just show you what you would learn by yourself anyway, it doesn't really tell you much about what hotkeys you must use for quality of life purposes what I find really underwhelming. - AI usually ambushes you without you having enough time to prepare and is designed for players, who's micromanaging skills are topnotch. For the test measure of your skills in the game you have to play A LOT to know what you are capable of. - There's no advanced scouting your territory besides the stone age given wolves which are running around and they have literally no other purposes just to scout and die to a random enemy he meets. It could've even had something new to use. Overall: It's kind of a 3.5/5 stars of what I would give to the game, but there's no option like that.

Jeden z pierwszych RTSów, który podjął próbę - niczym Civilization - ukazania historii ludzi od prehistorii do przyszłości. Cóż, próbę tę można uznać za udaną, ale nie w 100%. O ile kampanie są w porządku (aczkolwiek, moim zdaniem, niemiecka i rosyjska sprawiają wrażenie pisanej na kolanie), tak tryb potyczki jest męczący - AI oszukuje potężnie. Ma ekstra surowce i zawsze widzi co robi gracz, więc idealnie kontruje wrogie dla siebie armie. Ponadto, mimo mnogości epok i nacji, różnice są minimalne. Frakcje różnią się w zasadzie tylko bonusami (tak jak w pierwszym Age of Empires), a jednostki są dla wszystkich identyczne. Jedynie w kampaniach można mówić o różnorodności między oddziałami. Ponadto, jak w wielu RTSach, szwankuje wyszukiwanie ścieżek, co przy dużej armii potrafii doprowadzać do szału. Gra doczekała się lepszych następców (Empires: Dawn of the Modern World, Empire Earth II) i naśladowców (Rise of Nations), ale nadal warto zagrać w przynajmniej dwie pierwsze kampanie - są ciekawe, a misje zaprojektowane w zadowalający sposób.

Should work properly on higher resolutions. It just stretches... It should have a resizing of the interface, a bigger zoom.
