Empire Earth II: Gold Edition

This Steam release is the [i]vanilla[/i] version of the game. Rebellion has confirmed that they currently don't plan updates or remasters at this point in time. This version has the same files as the 2005/2006 retail release. Empire Earth II is updated to ver. 1.2 and Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy is updated to ver. 1.0. To be fair, the only difference is that two of the 4:3 screen resolutions were replaced to max. 1920x1080. 4k or ultrawide resolutions are not available. If you're looking for a working online multiplayer, bug and crash fixes, all screen resolutions support (including 8K and ultrawide, with automatic font scaling), enhanced music and sounds, a proper DirectX 9 support, better camera zoom settings and hundreds of new features that don't change the original game balance nor strategy - you can install Unofficial Patch 1.6 for free, which is compatible with this Steam version. The Unofficial Patch 1.6 (UP1.6) is a free community update. It has been developed since 2014, with dedication and regular monthly updates ever since - and it is still updated today. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733933685

The game was part of my childhood, but I hoped they adding some services (Steam Cloud, native 16:9 support without any problems), but nothing can be perfect.. Sadly, Steam overlay also not working. The good news is, it runs perfectly without any modification. Maybe I'm noob, normal difficulty is hard as me. If you aren't professional RTS player, you should play easiest difficulty. Is it worth the price? Maybe. If you played this game and you love it, you should buy it! If not, but you interested it.. you must wait a sale.

This second installment is to me the best in the series. It feels very much like playing the first game, just more polished and future proof to where you can still enjoy it over 20 years after its release. 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. This second game brought quite a bit of new features and overhauled the way the game was played. You here age up into a new epoch with research points instead of resources, there are also special resources available for certain epochs. Beside that they overhauled a bunch of systems like the crown system, tech trees, citizen management and road systems, but most importantly you can change keybinds! The enemy AI also seems to have improved a lot. It manages its resources well, spreads out quickly and plays pretty aggressively. However, the teammate AI surprised me the most. Throughout most of the game I found it really bad and annoying to play with. It just passively built up huge armies camping in my bases around the map, leaving me to crush the enemy alone. I thought it was just lazy and overly defensive until I crushed the last enemy on the map and my passive AI friend turned on me and destroyed everything I had in minutes. I find it kinda crazy that the AI prepares for this last sudden death phase of the skirmish from the very start of the game. 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]

Finally it is on Steam! This is classic RTS and sequel to loved original Empire Earth. I used to play this a lot. Edit: We need working Steam overlay on this game.

The Romans were stuck in the early ages with archers and legions...they didn't surrender until I had an entourage of tanks, airplanes, machine gunners, and 4 ICBM missile and they had...1 citizen. 10/10 would nuke that one particular citizen with 4 missiles again

Get it! All I can say. Best series in the world for RTS.

[h1][b] An award-winning British independent studio? Puh-lease! Shame on you! You couldn’t add a couple of resolution options? Bezos is sending Oprah’s husband to Mars again next week! What’s your excuse? Early access to the kirking Hantavirus? Bloody Ebola? Empire Earth: 94 FPS cap?! Unlimited FPS in the menu screen. Vsync is available. Empire Earth II: Vsync option is gone. And no resolution beyond 1920 x 1200 is available. Empire Earth III: Vsync is back. But again unlike Empire Earth 1, resolution again only goes up to 1920 x 1200. [/b][/h1]

Ich häng wieder so drin, macht anders bock :D Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, den Unofficial Patch 1.6 runterzuladen und den Language-Changer von der gleichen Website. https://ee2.eu/patch/ Damit geht auch Multiplayer wieder.

This game is goated. I can't tell how many hours I played this when I was younger

Played this as teenager, decided to buy for nostalgia. It did not age as well as Rise of Nations, the jank is there. But the game is still fun nevertheless.
