Heh, me and a bunch of my buddies were playing EE1 this sunday at a LAN. Damn, we played that game for nearly 10 hours. The game is like all of the other RTS's it seems, but it is alot more difficut. I'd say if you are an experienced gamer, you should give it a try. Between the prophets at low levels and the Nuclear Bombers towards the end, it can be really fun.

(Nothing like hearing someone nearly shit their pants as thier base gets a nuke dropped on it =D)

is that a RoN-style territory system? i kinda hope so, i really love that aspect of RoN, it makes the game so much more interesting and less base-rush-centric

Looks kinda ugly to be honest. Not impressed by the art direction. Everything is so muddy/blocky. Perhaps one has to see it in motion to appreciate the graphics.

The graphics definitely seem similar to the first one. They're definitely better though. Looks like there's separate building textures for the snow sets. Also looks like they stole the national boundaries feature from RoN. I agree with one of the other posters and hope they have better squad control like DoW. Doubt it though. I got by with EE1's control system, so I'm not too worried. 20 hour games are a bit crazy, but nothing's forcing you to play the computer on hard level for all 14+ (or however many there are) epochs either.

I wonder if this one will change the trend of how long playing a game takes. We had a 2 on 2 at a LAN party back in the day (all open ages) and just quit playing after 8 fuckin hours heh

It's not totally impressive. But a few enhancements (showing range of special units/structures) can be seen. I loved the first, and I'm cautiously optimistic for the sequel.

I wish they'd make with the latest RTS trends. A game like this would definitely be better if there was some sort of squad control.

Did anyone not like the technological ages in the first one? It just seemed as though they ran out of ideas for units in those ages. I really liked playing the lower eras because the units were actually fan to use.

Well, admittedly, they didn't use any antialiasing or whatnot. I have no idea why game devs release screenshots that don't look as nice as they possibly can.

I agree. Graphics look blocky, it's like they are using the same graphics engine from Empire Earth 1. Even Rise of Nations looks better.
