I've played Empire Earth occasionally since around 2004. I've wasted hours and hours with the random maps in single-player mode since I never hit it off with the campaign. I've also tried EE2 and EE3 a little and they just lacked something that this game has in terms of gameplay. Later on I have developed a habit of bringing this game up everytime we have a LAN party with friends. We like to take our time with building up bases and armies and our matches usually take at least 4 to 6 hours until completion with the maximum population limit and a huge random map. The original random maps created by the game have very predictable and boring patterns but there's an easy fix if you just download some random map scripts from Empire Earth Heaven. I can recommend this game for RTS game fans but the lack of zoom-out feature has started to bother me a bit more every time I play it - the view feels slightly too close. The game supports modern high resolutions but the maxed out view still shows the same amount of content as the smaller ones.
