About
With dozens of hours of gameplay set across a rich tapestry of time, Empire Earth: Gold Edition offers real-time strategy for the ages. Choose any point in time - from the discovery of fire to the laser battles of the far-flung future - and command your civilization with one goal: make Earth your Empire.
Advance a fledgling civilization through the course of history, as you build an empire capable of dominating the Earth. From humble beginnings you must carefully use natural resources if you want to prosper. As you progress through time you’ll uncover new technologies, buildings and weapons - but be warned, advancement doesn’t necessarily mean success! Your civilization might flourish in one epoch only to become history in the next.

Update I did a practice match to see all the units in the game and was surpised by how many they were. It took me about 3 hours to go from clubs to lasers. The club guys do about 7 damage and the lasers do 70 damage or more. I found getting to the laser age confusing. The best way to get food seems to be fishing. You spend that food on population and sending people into buildings for them to grow. This takes forever to do. Again about 3 hours. I thought it was interesting that buildings stop making units after awhile. The stable makes horses for awhile and then stops when you get tanks. I think the units and base building is good and holds up today. The 3 hour grind to get to that point is pretty ridiculous. Its safe to say most games should end around the copper age when you first unlock siege. Good but odd. The game starts out super slow and easy to learn but once you hit around the copper age, the game just explodes in difficulty. I do play a lot of rts games so I was able to breeze through the early levels. The 2nd level in Campagin did take me over an hour and felt impossible at times. In some ways, I really enjoy all the ideas in this. It feels fresh. I think each unit and upgrade makes sense and plays well but the actually combat system is werid and Im not a fan of it. Overall, I think the core of the game is good, even in 2026, some of the features in this I am a big fan of. I do find this game frustrating cuz it takes forever to get resources and build an army and in seconds, all your work can just dissapear. I do enjoy all the units and the maps and everything, its just the actually strategy part Im not a fan of.
Не смотрите на мое время в стиме! Десятки, сотни часов проведенные в игре! Да я с ней состарился!! Плюсую везде где можно, вообще не знаю ничего что так бы здорово создавало неравенство и борьбу между фракциями!!! ИИ великолепен и безпощаден!!! Но именно это и подкупает, ставите высокую сложность и превозмогаете. Вкус победы особенно сладок! Как же я рад что теперь игра у меня в коллекции, а то приходилось пиратить. Удачи в битвах!!!! Одно не понимаю, почему так и не научились русифицировать? :(
An sich sind die Aspekte des Spiels der visuellen Inhalte sowieso der musikalischen empfehlenswert, aber durch die Behinderung des Zooms, sodass man im Grunde nie sieht, was man sehen muss würde ich auch diesen "Vorgänger" als menschenmissachtend bezeichnen, weil man sieht einfach nix?! Al ob jemand mit 'ner Lupe auf einzelne Einheiten gucken will. Ich glaube, das sind alte verkennbare, fiktiv-aber in Vergessenheit geratene alte, feudalistische aber eben auch illegale Duelle / Zwischen dem Macher von Age of Empires und Empire Earth eben (2 seperate Individuen). Ich bin für sowas weder Publikum, noch Konsument gewesen. Unter der Hand wurden auch Kompromisse gemacht, anstatt davon abzulassen und im Grunde wurden mit solchen "Inhalten" viel zu viele Kinder vergeiselt. Kein Mensch kommt freiwillig auf die Idee immer Scheuklappen zu tragen um weniger zu sehen.
Thank you ,Rebellion , for publish game on Steam Next maybe you can make compatibility for Win 10 & 11
Adoro questo gioco, mi riporta indietro di 20 anni, ma necessito della versione in italiano per far raffiorare completamente tutti i ricordi.
WHAT A CLASSIC! plays and feels just like I remember! Love these games wished they was on steam years ago. Skirmish is so addictive all the ages fun to play and hope the new upcoming Empire Earth can live up to the hype!
I got Empire Earth way back in the day when I was really into the RPGs like Sim City, Age of Empires, etc. Empire Earth was a really fun game that grabbed my attention immediately and kept it for a long time. Gave it up when I started having kids, but recently picked it back up. It hasn't lost its magic touch, in my opinion. So much customization in this game to guarantee you never have the same experience every time you play. I prefer the single player game against the computer and I like to play with the difficulty level and stuff to fit my play style at the time. It's definitely a dated game, but it has shelf life that is unmatched by other titles of its genre.
Old but Gold.
Base works perfectly, but the extension won't start. It requires the original game CD to be inserted xD
Este fue el primer STR que jugue, y casi 20 años des pues lo puedo volver a disfrutar. Tan sigue siendo muy entretenido.
