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 …16 found this helpful

[h1]Empire Earth II - An old game with an interesting idea.[/h1] [b]Idea[/b] The main idea of the game is that there are 15 eras, starting from the Stone Age and ending with the future. The package includes the original Empire Earth II and Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy. 3 companies with 8 levels each in the original and 3 companies with 5 levels each in the DLC. Each company has its own era period. They touch on history a little, but they don't have a good plot; it's basically just a battleground with quests and conditions. There are a lot of factions in the game, but there are almost no differences between them, with a few exceptions. The game does not have any diplomatic mechanics, at least not in its current state. All you can do is make a plan for an attack, or send resources and soldiers to someone, or create an alliance (for free or in exchange for resources). [b]Resources[/b] About resources in the game, there are a lot of different resources for each era, such as old eras where you don't need uranium or oil. And in the future, you won't need tin. On the one hand, it's an interesting idea, but it's essentially a simple grind. In the same Warcraft, there's only …1 found this helpful
Game from when i was a kid 100% should play1 found this helpful
I've never seen such an unbalanced game in my life. The AI is terrible for both the player and the enemy. The campaign is a complete pain. There's no balance in any scenario—you always start with low-level units and have to fight an empire with a fully developed army. It feels unfair rather than challenging. Overall, it's a very frustrating experience and a disappointing game.
Like returning to childhood love; sometimes annoying, but fun overall
