Empire Earth Gold Edition

What seemed like a slightly unpolished version of Age of Empires at first, quickly became a terrible disappointment. It's not the awful UI, not the dated graphics, not even a boring campaign but the god damned unit AI. Units running away from the target when I tell them to attack, soldiers hitting peasants while being slaughtered by the enemy and simply unexplainable path-finding makes this game a micro-management horror. Sorry, I just can't see the appeal others seem to have found in this title, and I don't think it's an "awesome battle" when your soldiers attack a wall in stead of a nearby tower that is decimating them with projectiles (and yes, I did order them to attack the tower several times). It's just painful to watch. Also, how can this be so much less streamlined and enjoyable than Warcraft 2 (six years older game!)?

I played this game already 10 years ago and still think it's a great game. According to some other comments, people seem to have compatibility issues. I haven't had any problems using Windows 10 with a dedicated video card. It even runs smoothly on a normal office notebook.

One of my favourite games i've played but the buckcup didnt work to me, so be carefull with your datas game.

As of the most recent update (2.0?), the game is working on my Windows 10 PC pretty smoothly. Whether it's objectively the best RPG of its era, I'm not so sure. But I played it a ton as a kid and love finally being able to revisit it.

For those of you that are having Graphic glitches check the post "How to Fix Graphic Glitches on Windows 10 for EE1" on the forums. This is my favorite game of all time. Still got my physical copy.
