Empire Earth

Post by TrailerParkJawa »

I let a friend talk me into buying this game. It was only 20 bucks cause I think it has been out for a while. Anyway, for 20 bucks this game is pretty fun. Ive played a few games, and it seems like the computer is tough to beat. Anyone like this game too?

The computer doesnt cheat, it wins in an alternate fashion :) It is quite beatable.

Although i do a different strategy. I dont use ground combat. I play offensive defese and nuke the sons o' bitches.

Actually the only true way i like to eliminate their infestation of the map is to nuke them out of existence. They just insta-rebuild as you kill it.

My friend and I just one a game vs computer. I kept him busy at sea while my friend went land. I lost every ship I had but in the end it was enough to allow my friend to beat him on land with a small help from my forces on land.

Empire Earth is the must boring, repetitive, idiotic "strategy" game that I've ever had the displeasure of playing.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

I always cheat when I play against the comp. I quickly build myself up to the top-most tech level and then begin a slow, deliberate sterilization campaign against the "primitives" :P Always good for a laugh! :D

Whoa that's fucked up formating.

I remember me and my friends used to play against a couple of Computer players and use all night to kill each and every one of them. :twisted: :D

The reason I got a pirated version and not the full is that there is only one AI setting: HARD.

Got any suggestions for a not-expensive, not-large RTS I could get for Christmas?

If you can find it....

Haegemonia : Legions of Iron....It's an empire building rts which just happens to be in space...it's plusses include...and easy to use interface...kickass multiplayer coop campaigns (you can play the single player as a group! Woot!), Absolutely superb graphics....the explosions and stars look gorgeous and the game is extremely fast paced..with a built in 'pause' just incase..

If you can...look up Pc gamer issue 118 for a review...erh...the website doesn't seem to be finished...for a game found for 9.99 though...it's amazing.
