    [​IMG] EE is a great game. I like it lot's better than AoE2. I thinking having access to all the ages is a great feature. It's one of the best RTS I've ever played. It give out a chance to create so many different situations. Making battles in Roman times, during the middle ages, during the Nepoleonic era, in WWI & II, in modern times and in the future. It rocks!

    My only issue is I wish there are more options in the random map battles. More type of maps to choice from. I wish you could garrison unit in building like in AoK. Having a trade center would have also helped. I did find it a little odd that iron and gold never appeared to run out. But beside that it's great.

    What do you think?

    Empire Earth is a cool game, but nothing more. Age of Empires 2 is way better. The graphics in EE is just not comfortable, I miss the lack of visual difference between races and it takes 10 hours to expand from prehistoric age to anything that is modern. It's still fun to play for a while, but i was tired of it very fast.

    Hopefully Age of Mythology will be a lot better :).

    Hmm. Perhaps I am biased from never playing any AoE game. I do agree though that the graphics of Empire Earth were probably its worst feature. And Age of Mythology will probably rule. :)

    [​IMG] I agree that going from prehistoric to digital age does take a LONG time but that is one of the nice things about the game. Like Civ you can change over time. It's not like StarCraft were you want to advance as fast as you can. And if you wish you can start and end in any age you desire. I do agree about the graphics though. They could have used a little more refinement.

    It's a fun game. Going from Pre-historic to Digital is nearly impossible unless you wait out the computer. All games end way before they can really advance more than a few ages. I'm waiting on Dungeon Siege myself.

    I have EE and AoE:AoK, and I wouldn't like to choose between the two.

    OK, if I have to... EE, because of guns, tanks, and Prophets.
