Empire Earth Gold Edition

Works fine on my Windows 10 machine!

I see lots of comments about this game not working on Windows 10 devices. I have a Windows 10 gaming box with i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 6GB Nvidia GTX1060 card and it works just fine! I've played this game for years, and absolutely love it. One thing that I DID have issues with early on with the GOG download was resolution. Standard when starting the game was 640 x 480, but my machine would crash if I tried to change it to a higher resolution. I just left it where it was and it runs just fine. Resolution is just fine as long as you don't zoom in for some reason. I have a 31" monitor attached to my machine, so I get plenty of the map showing when I play on any of the "sizes". I like this game for many reasons. It's very playable, it's easy to command units (right click and drag a box around the units), and just plain fun. I've had issues with the AI as well, but changing your map to islands can make a difference, as it buys you some time to build up your resources. There are lots of options, from changing civilizations (not that much difference between them all), to maps, to difficulty levels, and changing them all gives a different game to play each time. Game play may take hours, but it's extremely enjoyable to spend a rainy/snowy day plugging away at your enemies. If you REALLY want to have some fun, load up a small island map and assign all computer civilizations to play. Each civilization has it's own island next to 3 others (one island is in the middle of the map). Trying to keep tabs on 8 different enemies at the same time can be a lot of fun. If you just want to blow through them all, enable cheat codes...that's fun too! I've had no issues since getting the GOG version. It's better than having to install the disk to run (my machine doesn't have a DVD player anyway), and I've had no issues running on Windows 10.
