Empire Earth Gold Edition

Empire Earth does not bring anything particularly new to the table in the real time strategy genre. Even at its release the graphics were nothing special and it plays very much like the classic and groundbreaking Age of Empires II. That said, the concept is very groundbreaking. Empire Earth is probably the only game that allows you to play through so many periods of human existence. You may play through 14 epochs (like the "ages" in Age of Empires) and start with humble cavemen and eventually work your way to powerful mechs. Additionally, as you play through the single player campaigns (there are four plus a tutorial) you will play through actual historical events. Though hardcore real time strategy fans may be looking for something more, Empire Earth offers excellent single player campaigns and a classical real time strategy experience. Fans of Age of Empires will hit the ground running with Empire Earth. Getting this game and its expansion for $5.99 is a bargain strategy games should not miss!

First off, this will work on Windows 10. It took me a little while but I discovered that there are a bunch of different possible solutions. For me, Windows 10 defaulted to opening the game in compatibility mode. When I forced the game to start without compatibility mode, it worked and ran smoothly. The GOG forums have a bunch of others solutions is that doesn't work. Tweaking settings may seem like a pain, but it is well worth it! It is a playground of an RTS game. You can play games strictly in the stone age, strictly in the middle ages, strictly in the modern era, or start a game in the stone age and allow everyone to upgrade to the point where battles will be decided with robots (if you allow the enemy to flourish that long ;) ). Personally I love the freedom the game offers, finding a choke point and holding off an army with a sniper, finding a small pond/lake in a corner of the map, building a nuclear sub there and pelting your unsuspecting neighbor with missiles from it. The possibilities are endless! However, there are drawbacks, and that is that games playing against many computer players on a large map will almost always end up being about territory control. Once you wipe out an enemy outpost or capital, you must build some buildings to claim the land or else the computer will come right back. No matter how outgunned the enemy is, the computer will spread around the map like weeds forcing and prolonged hunt before the game can end. Kind of like a zerg player who just keeps throwing up hatcheries in hidden locations just to annoying you. This tends to make the end game a bit of a drag, where my war economy goes into artillery and defensive tower spamming just to end the game. Nevertheless, it was a great experience to get there. Pro: Most freedom ever in an RTS game for tactics to shine. Lots to micromanage Cons End game can drag Lots to micromange TL/DR. 100% worth it. I cannot recommended it enough despite the few shortcomings.

After 18 years, it is still the best strategy game ever (no other game has 15 epochs - stone age to space age). With NeoEE patch is possible play Empire Earth 1 and its expansion The Art of Conquest together. Windows 10 compatible!

Can't get it to run. Windows 10. I have tried different compatibilties. The banner pops up and then it disappears... and nothing happens. This is a 5 star game though.. if it loads.

Game doesn't launch, the help pages were not helpful at all :( I have Windows 10. Please do something about it, I really loved this game.
