Empires Dawn of the Modern World is one of my favorite games of all time. When released it was just the natural progression from Empire Earth. If you played Empire Earth YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME, if you love AOE and have said to yourself "I wish I didn't have a population cap" BUY THIS GAME. Unlike Empire Earth, EDMW offers unique nations with its own unique units and buildings as well as the nations tactics and abilities. The age progression ranges from Medieval to WW2 where you can advance from playing Medieval age England or the Franks and progress to the United States or Germany. The variation of units between the nations makes the game far more strategic and interesting than Empire Earth IMO. The single player campaign is pretty good but nothing special and AI play can be quite challenging if not a bit predictable. As a LAN game or a game to play with your friends I can't think of a better RTS. GOG states here that there is only single player, this is not true! Go to www.gameranger.com a free multiplayer game service, there are always people online. If you had played this in the past and want to get back into it this is where you need to go. Multiplayer in this game is superb and was the best aspect on release.
