Empire Earth (2001)
Genres:Strategy
Themes:Historical, Warfare, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Epochs are the ages a player passes through in Empire Earth. Each of these epochs represents an age within history. In Empire Earth, the last two ages (Digital and Nano Ages) are set into the moderate future. In the Art of Conquest, a third future age, the Space Age, is available. It deals with space colonization. Each epoch brings new technologies and units. Epoch advancement requires additional buildings to be built and the costs of advancing increases as more epochs are attained, although the ability to gather the required resources greatly increases as well. With new epochs, some new units are available at the cost of having to abandon the ability to produce old units, though any old units still alive are kept. The epochs in Empire Earth are the Prehistoric Age, the Stone Age, the Copper Age, the Bronze age, the Dark Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Imperial age, the Industrial age, the Atomic World War I age, the Atomic World War II Age, the Atomic Modern Age, the Digital Age and the Nano Age. An extra epoch, the Space Age, is available in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest.Show more

Looong hours of gaming having fun and amazed for the variety of Stuff in game. I still play it. hope this game had a new reborn with better graphics and better motor (remaster). deserves it ! (All the saga)
game with the most replay value I know (IMHO)
played it mostly on LANs - yes, once this was a thing...
great campaign, editor and multiplayer features.
the game already exists on GOG, but unfortunately it's still is the old version.
Does not work great on modern hardware, networking features are longe dead. I would really like to see a rework of the networking features to be able to play it with friends again on modern hardware. (graphics or other improvements are only secondary to me.)
I used to play it with my boss from work, coming home with him to start a game with his wife and against two hard-difficulty computers, surrounded by fried chicken, about to spend eight hours straight on it, thrice in the week, before finally defeating the things.
The AI players in this game weren't cheating a little, cooking the numbers here and there, oh no... They immediately jumped to the furthest epoch reached by a human player, near-instantly accessing upgraded units and buildings and spitting units from these buildings without having to pay for anything.
The great touch from the developers was that computers didn't harvest resources, since they had no use for them, but still produced and placed over each resource near their bases the maximum number of workers able to work the spot, which stood idly around the point almost in provocation.
What a time.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
