Managing your resources, advancing new technologies and trying to walk the fine line of being friendly with other civilizations, but also letting them know you will not be a pushover is a real delicate balancing act. I did feel like there was a lot of trial and error here, but each time I failed I did feel like I learned something new. You can now actually tell one of your people exactly what you want them to do and there is a really cool War Planner system that allows you to coordinate attacks in much more depth than before.Ĭoordinating attacks with your allies and of course the units you have at your own disposal is actually a lot of fun. One that is really cool is a little mini window that allows you to get in closer and micromanage things like building. Deep GameplayĮmpire Earth II actually added quite a few things that were missing from the first game.
The campaign also features special scenarios which let you pick a side and change the course of history. There is an American, Korean and German campaign and each one has its own story, side of the war to experience and things that you have to do. This game features three different campaigns.
The first thing I want to mention is just how much bang for your buck you get with Empire Earth II.
