What Made Empire Earth Great?

[@christophertheriault3308]

Thanks for the kind words on Empire Earth. For your fans not currently aware I have a 20th Anniversary commemorative campaign uploaded to Empire Earth Heaven, plus, I also recently discovered that I still have old copies of scenarios that were cut from the original campaigns. In a few months I hope to have this material available at EEH as well. And, of course, apologies to all French-speaking players across the world!

[@greatarabia8091]

Are you one of the makers of that game? It's literally one of my favorite games. It was one of the first games I ever played.

[@christophertheriault3308]

@@greatarabia8091 Yes, and thanks!

[@patrickw9331]

That' s awesome! I'd really love an EE1 remake with some graphic and gameplay improvements like in AoE2, to bring it back to what it once was :D

@@christophertheriault3308 You helped create one of my all time favorite games. I was about 8 when I purchased it in 2002 and fell in love with the game instantly. I'll be 30 this April and it's still one of my favorite games. So I just want to say thank you so much for the work you did. It's given me hours and hours and hours of fun and it will give me hours and hours more fun in the future. Thanks again!

@@Spartan265 You're very welcome! One of the downsides of making that kind of content is you don't get to see people enjoying it, so the stories are always nice to hear.

Man the amount of time i spent with Empire Earth. What a great game!

[@dumbcow1]

To this day, I still hear the soundclips units made in my head. As a kid, I heard them thousands upon thousands of times.

The ones that sticks ti my head are the classic sword sound and the laser tower sound

Yes me lord 😂

[@asoru5573]

Damn, I miss this game so much, so nostalgic!

[@Eheth1958]

I’m playing it with to my 10yr son on LAN. GOG games allows two computers with same account to play against eachother whooo

[@veeam21]

My parents were the ones to show me this game. Especially my mom. She taught me how to play

[@arne8802]

How?? 😂

[@veeam21]

@@arne8802 Wdym how?

[@arne8802]

@@veeam21 Cant imagine a mother teaching her kid how to play Empire Earth. I played it too as a kid. But the only thing she woukd have said is something like dont play brutal wargames.

[@veeam21]

@@arne8802 Ah. Yeah both my parents are gamers, dad aimed at shooter games and my mom towards strategy and stuff, both love mmos tho

[@raptorhacker599]

Is ur mom real?

[@cimignigni8360]

For me, more than the random map games or even the campaigns what really made it special was the scenario editor One big sandbox where futuristic cyborgs, medieval knights, greek hoplites and primitive clubmen could all be played against one another, i couldn't have asked for more as a kid

[@Falcon_Serbia]

Played this for over 15 years still play weekly lol it’s my fav rts game even with its flaws

[@Exydos1]

Ahhhh the good old Empire Earth. I love it

[@hyperdimensionbliss]

Possible follow-up video for Dawn of the Modern world?

[@yetanotherspuart3993]

Was expect you to say "what made Empire earth great......was the fact that it worked.....compared to games today.......thank you for coming to my tedxtalk." EXPECTATIONS SUBVERTED!!!

[@kevinishki]

EE2 is my favorite rts game. I wish it would make a come back. Being limited to the past sucks. EE2 was great because you could progress from the past to the future. I also like the campaign similar to age of empires. The pathfinding was really great.

[@thetruephantom7785]

Can we get a remake?

[@chandlerkivett40]

I loved playing Empires Dawn of the modern world, the American campaign still brings back nightmares.

Indeed! The prophet is just epic!

[@zylaaeria2627]

Don't know if you are aware but there are some guys making a remake/remaster of the original Empire Earth called Empire Eternal. It looks pretty promising so far.

[@Mahdi-l1i]

great game of my childhood

[@Interesantes91]

best RTS game ever!

[@rtstrategygames7257]

I hope this game remastered

[@abdelmonemsalaheldin6354]

Awesome commentary

[@AndyMatrix]

I miss Aoc so much , specially when I glitch 50 invisible crossbow and 5 invisible Pope's. lol what a great game . The middle age warfare was the best.

[@angrygardengnome8383]

Fkn awesome game pity about the cursed expansion and painfully average sequels. It deserved a better legacy than it got.

[@speedrunerziga4968]

jesus this is nostalgic

[@TheFaresamin]

I used to play this game with my mom, uncle and sis. it is an absolute classic and I hate how obscure it is nowadays. I have been trying for years to setup gameranger or neoEE or any form of multiplayer but I keep having network issues that for some reason prevent me from playing. I miss the old days when me and my mom would just keep ranting about how the AI must be cheating and then play regardless

[@anthonydelange4128]

I'm sorry but dad introduced me to age of empires and a few other games like it but I found Empire earth 2 recently and I'm addicted...

[@kikkk3588]

"Everything"

[@arne8802]

Great game!

[@CptSlow89]

I found it better than AOE 2.

[@six8810]

another plus, is that any potato's trash pc can run at max without stuttering

[@jankutac9753]

Compared to many other strategy games, it's a very weak game in so many features. Think of total war, stronghold crusader, StarCraft, and many others. Even the fan made 0AD is much better. But somehow none of those games gives you such a complete experience with all the epochs, and the ability to control economy, land units, naval units, and air units all at once, plus the fact that it's quite immersive and full of action and goals to complete. Games like total war are way better, BUT don't you sometimes feel like you'll fall asleep because the campaigns take hours and don't have a proper goal?

[@rebeccaconlon9743]

I use to play this at LAN parties (toddler deleted this previous comment)

[@dyk5367]

[@19kislacy92]

just remake the game with better graphics and it would be the best strategy game.

[@OA-B]

EE2 is greater, if You Ask me

Walls. Main reason i played the game
