Empire Earth Gold Edition

and now I regret it. The zoom is very close, the minimap is low-res. The campaign difficulty is inconsistent and in skirmish, the AI cheats so hard it's simply not fun. By the time you have two settlements and begin to gather resources, the AI already has three barracks, two siege factories, two more military factories and a mill and starts to build units - including units that cost gold, which you dont start with. And once you built your first two military buildings, the AI already sends multiple units to your base. On easy difficulty.

Don't waste your money. This game used to be fun and I still love it but since windows 7 the graphics are so bad the game is unusable and no matter what I looked up nothing could fix it. Such a shame.

Empire earth: gold edition is probably one of the most ambitious (for its time) project that truly tries to give a complete experience on human warfare (at least in its gameplay, since the story, although faithful historically, is narrated in a way that's almost comical). Or at the very least, that was the idea. Unfortunately, what came out of that idea is a mediocre RPG with a bad AI and confusing overlays. That doesn't mean the game is bad... it has some good qualities, but not enough. So, yup. You can play it and found joy in it, if you look past its failings.

The Gold edition of Empire Earth 1 is the best RTS game I've ever experienced! It's very challenging so if that's what you like, then you love EE gold edition. Takes you thru many ages including some futuristic ages. Very fun and addictive! We have a LAN group tha has been playing since it came out

This game has been in my life for over 10 years easily, and I have been drawn to play it for hours on end every couple days or weeks. Even if I forget about the game for months, I always play it all night randomly. This game is simple, addicting, and I hope you don't have kids, pets, or a significant other, because they can kiss your attention to them goodbye as soon as you enter this highly addicting game. It is such a comforting, relaxing game and it is a great stress reliever. You can play easy mode and lay back with only an opponent or two, or play hard mode with many challenging computer opponents. 10/10 will play forever.
