Empire Earth II by Vivendi Games

(Based on manufacturer's information) Historical RTS and sequel to the Gamespy’s 2001 �PC Game of the Year.� Empire Earth II serves up worldwide conquest on an epic scale with 14 different civilizations, more dynamic and challenging AI, more multiplayer options and innovative new strategy management features.

Empire Earth II builds upon the success of its predecessor by adding unique units, powers, leaders, and inherent bonuses to all of the game’s 14 different civilizations. Cities, territories, and borders are often treated as just �eye candy� in other real-time strategy games. In Empire Earth II they will affect game play and be treated as tradable resources much like they are in the real world. The game’s artificial intelligence is more reactive, dynamic, and variable than its predecessor’s, able to adapt to human opponents in ways that are more engaging for the player. And, for the first time in the Empire Earth series, ambient weather and seasons like fog and snowfall will affect game play, forcing players to adapt their strategies to the changing environment.
