Ugh-I miss the RTS games-.
Imagine C&C today-the maps bigger and more things you can do-like when your defeated in one battle field you can move back to another map like start in space then the defender has to keep the enemy forces out then the attacker has to get down to the planet and take over key points to take over the map and ultimately win by owning the defenders or hold out and take out the attacker-mass ware fare with multiplayer-first player defends the main base and helps the second teammate with helping support like aircrafts and resources-. lol I thought this out a lot already-hopes and dreams of what could be-

I adore Empire Earth. I can still remember unboxing that wicked box for the first time. And between it and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, this was basically my teenage years. So much fun.
Best hack I learned was all you needed to advance an age was to upgrade a new town center a level or two. Just build one, populate it fully (I think twice) and the next age button would unlock. Which allowed you to fast track your civ to the digital age and be dropping bombs way faster and with less wasted resources on units that eventually disappeared as new ones became important.

The implication of the strategy of advancing ages ahead of your enemy to bombard them with sci-fi tech is pretty funny; imagine two warring tribes in the stone age, someone saying -those damn people on that island over there need to be wiped out now! - and the warlord replies -no, I've got a better plan. Let's leave them be and build a school instead, and then a couple of thousand generations from now we'll probably have invented weapons that can annihilate them in a minute! -

I liked Empire Earth's 3D engine. The fact that you could zoom in and see everything at street level was just unheard of for an Age of Empires fan such as myself. Even Age of Mythology didn't have something like that, and it also had a 3D engine.
However, I couldn't stop looking at it as an AoE rip-off, just with much more futuristic ages. I actually liked Rise of Nations more, because it just made more sense than what Empire Earth tried to achieve.

Anyone know where I could get a copy (preferably digital at this point) of EE? I played it almost religiously for years ar my apartment. Me, my CRT TV, a plate full of pizza rolls, some mountain dew, and my Compac and I was in blissful heaven, playing for hours after work. I didnt socialise. I did watch a lot of Star Trek. Now you can fill in the blanks.

All those remaster and remake games out there and such a great game is still waiting. I'd love to see a current gen remaster of Empire Earth and AoC including the entire editor just to start making all these great scenarios again and playing them online. The current player base with the NEO EE Mod sucks because almost nobody likes to play such a game.

Awesome game, with an impressive span of ages to play through (my favs are ww1, medieval, and nano. The only downsides are the cheating AI and the restrictions on population for a large number of players (1200 max divided by the number of players, thou there are some fixes online )

I remember firing this up for the first time at a net cafe with two friends. Being used to AoE I thought we'd have a short FFA with a bunch of CPU opponents. We ended up advancing all the way from cave men to modern era and taking up the whole day (and much of the evening.

2: 40 it really isn't Google Jan Zizka. Guy first lost one of his eyes in 1410 under Grunwald, and then lost another one during hussite crusades. This man fought half of christendom with a band of Czech peasants on wagons, while being blind.
