Empire Earth Gold

I've seen some reviewers give bad ratings due to their computers locking up. This is not a problem with Empire Earth. I had the same problem but did a little research into it and found out that the Zone Alarm firewall program has some compatability issues with Empire Earth as well as a few other games. I switched to Symantec Internet Security and haven't had any problems since. Note that Zone Alarm will lock up your machine if you are playing Empire Earth EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PLAYING ON LINE. Once again, this is NOT a problem with Empire Earth.

To sum it up, this is the RTS that I keep coming back to even when there are more advanced RTS games on the market. Keep an eye out... Empire Earth 2 is coming soon. :)

I read some comments posted here and I think you can?t compare one game against another because they are really different, so give a chance for yourself to taste it. I still remember when I bought it,though if it was a good choice that time . And certainly It is a good choice.

Ok, let?s go with details. You can play this game alone or multiplayer. If you are having to plan in multiplayer I suggest to gain some experience gaming alone before doing it online. You have a tutorial and the campaings. All of the campaings are historical. Great stuff to learn to use the units.

Then you can play against the PC selecting a starting epoch and advance through our time and it is far more interesting because you can get here more fun. it depends how good strategist you are to defeat the computer in the least time.

I think found a reason why some people get discouraged. I noted after some serious gaming two things if you challenge the computer. First, machine has not delay assigning tasks to its units while we do. The other is machine doesn?t play fairly with their resources, while we run out our mineral and every resource the machine never runs out. So it can produce new enemy units although you conquest all mineral deposits.

My recommendations for those who started gaming with not so much success or for you who wish to start winning is Know the map, Know its geography and where minerals are and much more important where is the enemy, just at the begining. Select a good civilization and go ahead for your enemy. Start building Towers and a Temple the most close as you can build to your enemy bases thus obstructing their citizen advance and from those places build your army. It doesn?t matter if you are gaming in a big or a small map. you have enough time to complete building them. use your citizens to create a town center to consolidate your position. The rest is a matter of increase number and strenght your units for the final assault. Remember, first army units, army buildings, and then the rest.

Enjoy this game with this tip.

This game includes both the original "Empire Earth", and the expansion: "Empire Earth: Art of Conquest", as well as a 250+ page strategy guide.

Empire Earth's tutorials are very good, and help new users find out how to build and maintain their people from simple, almost prehistoric men to beyond the modern age. The graphics and game play remind me of Microsoft's "Age of Empires", but the game play is not limited to one era - you can play from prehistoric man right up to beyond the space race.

One of my favorite features is that you do not have to begin at the beginning. You can set the era your people start in from the default prehistoric to the space age. Try a game set in one very specific era (such as World War Two) for a quick challenge.

I really enjoy these "God" type games - ones where you control the destiny of an entire planet. This game gives me what "Age of Empires" does not - the ability to steer my people from humble beginnings to beyond the stars.

The inclusion of Prima's guide to Empire Earth only helps add to the decision to buy this great game. Prima's guide really explains how to play, and gives some great tips on winning and even tells how to use the built in cheat codes.

One of my higher recommendations.
