cheatking Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 [Empire Earth](http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/empire_earth_gold_edition/)It's like Age of empires but with a much longer tech-tree.I want to play this again. I was thinking 1-2 hours every weekend saving progress along the way of course. I'm not to sure about network code at the moment so it might have to be played over [GArena](http://intl.garena.com/)So… Who's up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I might reinstall it. I did a couple months ago because I was in the mood, and I liked the game in general. But the main problem, is the camera is horrible and frankly game-breaking. If the camera wasn't complete garbage that could've possibly have been the best RTS game of all time.

DrNova Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I just spent about 7 and a half hours conquering the world in Civ 4-beyond the sword. Awesome game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yeah I need to get that. Played Civ4 at my friends when I was housesitting, best of the series I think. I never bought it because Civ3 was such a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNova Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Civ 4 is the first of the series I've ever played. At first I thought the turn based idea would be lame, but I got a copy for cheap at a used game shop. glad I bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keebler Elf Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I fucking love empire earth. Except only the empire earth clasic. Their expansions and such sucked balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah after jumping through tons of hoops me and Mr. Sean played a game of the classic and proceeded to get stomped by the AI (although for a little bit there we were looking good, but then nope they stomped both of our forward settlements and armies).A lot of hoops to jump through to get multiplayer working, now though. Since the old Sierra / WON servers are long dead you first gotta get the game to accept direct connects without worrying about that; and to ensure the patches are all the same version is a pain (and you have to use a save-ee custom lobby program to finalize a patch to ensure its synched).http://www.save-ee.com/Anyway, playing the game again, the camera is probably still my main complaint. Other than that, the Rock-Paper-Scissors combat style is fucking annoying and makes combat pretty micro-managy (although as far as I know this is a game mechanic common in almost all RTS games since Age of Empires). The only thing economically I don't like of Empire Earth is the lack of an oil resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Save ee sucks. Iv been actively playing ee since servers were shut down. Save ee imposes many crap mods to the game. Ill get you a link to a safe no.cd one me and my friend currently use to play if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The only mods I've seen are custom maps which are entirely optional. And I don't even use the lobby, it was just a way to syncronize clients (since I had default retail CD release, plus the 1.04 patch, plus the 2.0 "Difficulty Setting and Multiplayer Lobby Add-On"), but yet it was a different client version than Mr. Sean's. Using the save-ee custom lobby client patched our games with optional stuff so it's synced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they "attempted to fix gliches" even though they accomplished nothing since i can still use civs tgat give me 70% unit cost reduction.

Anna Comnena Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Well I wouldn't know about that. Do you play with the difficulty settings and multiplayer lobby add-on patch (2.0)?It seems to be hard to syncronize individual client versions from that point, on.

Keebler Elf Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I play with all the legit patches from sierra. Theres a site eehaven? That has all the actual patches which is where I go if I ever need to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Comnena Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Civilization isn't that great multiplayer, though. Also you might as well make a new thread about it as they aren't the same genre.For something more similar to Empire Earth, Rise Of Nations is interesting too.Anyway, I'm doing a clean reinstall of Empire Earth (original retail CD, 1.04 patch, and 2.0 patch). See how it works out.Edit: ok well I did both of those and now my game version is 2.00.3466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey Keebler Elf, if you don't use anything, what is your max Unit Cap for games? Only 1200? That's bs. It was 2400 with the save-ee patch, I'm assuming.I reinstalled once again to make sure its a clean clean install, its back to 2.00.3466; I've noticed the unit cap is only 1200 now. Stupid limit, if there is no way to increase that I'm just gonna go back to the save-ee patch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keebler Elf Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 1200 is way more then enough if your playing correctly. You should not be sitting in your base whoring units the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Oh thanks for being the gameplay police. I don't whore units, I only play on gigantic maps where you have multiple cities and fronts to fight on. Otherwise the game is just another RTS boring piece of micromanagy shit.1200 units / 8 factions = worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
