Empire Earth: Gold Edition

Empire Earth 1 was amazing, 20-25 years ago i play this game (when i was 6-12 years old) it is a part of my childhood memories. I still remember spending hours in front of the computer within 6-10 hours/day just play and explore main mission, Greek Campaign Story 8/10 -- difficulty 7/10 Trojan War +The Peloponnesian Wars (vs Sparta)+ Alexander Story were memorable English Campaign Story 9/10 -- difficulty 8/10 William Campaign until - Hundred Years War Begin, (i love the knight and long sword part when clash) and last Battle of Waterloo on Napoleon invasion on Brussels German Campaign 8.5/10 -- Difficulty 9/10 Antagonist campaign, The Somme, Lightning Warfare Blitzkrieg when we attack invasion through poland, france and Scandinavial. but the last mission Operation Sea Lion was alternate story missing hitl3r LOL Russian Campaign Story 7.5/10 -- Difficulty 8.5/10 It's Fictional Campaign year 2018- when i first time play this mission i like Grigor Stoyanovich part during Novaya Russian, but when Grigor II was a leader robotic machine, and yes he doesn't understand sacrifice/human rights. and changing the heart mission and time machine was good part. haha i remember play last mission a bad case of deja vu . the time machine was late 15 minutes ago, and suddenly titan bomber just drop from the gate LOL I also play Art Of Conquest campaign part but just little. i just remember playing midway vs Yamamoto 4 Fleet part, when the film release on 2015 somewhere else, i also remember playing this mission Overall good memory's 9.5/10 hope they remastered it with modern graphic

I am really glad to see this ancient RTS return to Steam. I loved Empire Earth as a kid and always preferred it over Age of Empires, so getting a chance to revisit it now all this time later was really fun. This is the first of the three games that was rereleased and so I naturally started out with this one. In case you don't know anything about Empire Earth but know Age of Empires, Empire Earth is much the same, just a lot crazier and with a much wider age progression starting at the stone age and ending in the future. This can lead to some really unbalanced fights, where one party can end up far behind the others technologically, literally throwing rocks at the enemies advanced artillery. This is however what makes Empire Earth so fun. I played some of the Greek campaign and some custom battles and had no issues at all with it. It ran really well. I would however have preferred to be able to assign my own custom keybinds since the default ones kinda suck with it being an old game and that, but I unfortunately couldn't find anywhere that let me do that, so I'll just assume it isn't possible, which is a shame. I haven't tried the expansion pack yet, but I heard it crashes a lot, so I'm in no rush to play it. I hope they fix that quickly though and that it isn't just gonna be left in a buggy state like rereleases of older games usually do. If you played this when it was still a relevant RTS title, I can definitely recommend giving it a go again. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!![/url]

1. The expansion pack will only start after you launch the original version of the game first or it crashes with an error. 2. Upon launch, the game requires OS administrator privileges to modify PC settings, and if you don't grant them, it crashes with an error. Why does it need these privileges at launch? To force-apply compatibility settings. What's so bad about that? Steam Overlay doesn't work when an application runs with compatibility settings under admin privileges unless Steam itself is run as an administrator. Does the game work without compatibility settings? YES! But the Steam client forces it to launch with an OS administrator prompt anyway. Do I want to spend my time troubleshooting these issues instead of the seller who is trying to sell it to me in this state? No. This is one of the best strategy games of the distant past. Unfortunately, in the state they recently decided to sell it here, it's no different from what you can find for free on an old CD. I hope we get high-quality remasters of both parts with all expansions, or at least HD versions that can launch correctly on modern OS. But for now, it's a refund. Rebellion should be grateful to me for conducting free testing of their release.

Works perfectly on Linux with Proton. Does have support for 4K and unlocked framerates. Alt-tabbing causes the game cursor to glitch out so just make sure to run it in window mode or with gamescope to prevent this. The game is just as good as when it was first released.

[h1]Empire Earth – Just Like We Remember It[/h1] Honestly, this is pretty much the Empire Earth I remember from when I was younger. Same feeling, same campaign, same gameplay, and now it actually runs on modern systems without having to fight with it. It is very nostalgic. The game feels different from Age of Empires because it has always been slower and more focused on progression through the ages. My only real complaint is that the battles could be bigger, since the unit cap still feels pretty small. Some of the old problems are still here too. The AI still cheats a lot, and the pathfinding can be annoying sometimes. But this is still a game from 2003, so honestly, some of these flaws almost feel like part of the experience now. [b]The Good:[/b] [list] [*]Runs on modern systems. [*]The original campaigns are still here. [*]Classic Empire Earth gameplay. [*]From prehistoric times to the future. [*]A real nostalgia trip. [/list] [b]The Bad:[/b] [list] [*]The AI can be frustrating. [*]Pathfinding still shows its age. [*]The gameplay is slower than most modern RTS games. [*]The unit cap feels pretty small. [/list] [hr][/hr] I'm just glad they didn't change much. It's still the same Empire Earth I remember, but now I can actually play it without spending an hour trying to get it running. And honestly, that is all I wanted. [b]Recommended for anyone who wants to relive their childhood.[/b]

Most played game of my childhood, and honestly probably my entire life. Fantastic strategy game that I lose track of time playing.

This is absolute RTS at it's peak.

THIS IS NOT A REMASTER This rerelease is a 1:1 copy of the old game, with maybe a few bare minimum display settings updated. All it's fun and frustration is intact. The mechanics and design of this game is second to none, but the AI was primitive and heavily relies on cheating to win. Turning it off makes it feeble, but it makes it a not-so-laid back experience when they have free units, faster production, no fog of war, etc. The game runs great even on lower-end hardware, and even has lots of cool mechanics for an RTS of it's time. Doesn't zoom out far, and it's still the old graphics, but it's scratching a serious itch for me. I hope the Devs are considering using some of this to remaster this title at least. it could really use a face-lift and fine-tuning, like AoE2:DE and AoM:Retold got. Build a better AI so it doesn't need to cheat, and add some sorely-lacking features like a "random" setting for the map, and bigger population numbers. Maybe some new ones like more civ points (or less), new map types, or resource generation settings. One thing that should REALLY change is how space works in the expansion. It should be a layer above the map (maybe "switch-to" map), not a replacement for water that only Space-boats can cross. It was a lame implementation then, we can do better now, right? Until then, It's the Empire Earth I remember, and it'll do for now.

The game is fine to play for nostalgic reaons, it has it's flaws, but thats to be expected for an old game. The reason for negative review is that there is absolute ZERO game polish or QOL added for the digital release. Also, given how much more compute the average gamer has nowdays it's a bit sad to see the low unit cap and terrible AI.

A guide on how to launch EE AoC: - Start EE FIRST and close it - Start EE AoC only after having run EE at least once, otherwise EE AoC will throw a "missing game" error For high resolution monitors: if the game is too zoomed in, you can check the dreXmod 2.01 mod files to have further-out views. I managed to run EE AoC on Linux Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and patch it as above. The only issue I had was that the game wouldn't start if installed in an external mount partition, but only if the game is installed in Linux's system partition. Enjoy!
