found a bug i think...

[A Terribly Harmful Name]

Age of Empires II = the shiznit.

Empire Earth (made by the same people) = sux0rs

I never understood why they took away the great grouping that AOE II units did. Armies would line up and march in unison. In Empire Earth, they all ran around like a bunch of unorganized loons. The nuclear explosions were really cool though.

I haven't played the newest Empire Earth. I wonder if it's improved.

These things are all stone age relics for me. EB beats them all, and will beat anything the boys in Esemble Studios ever try to code.

EB Rocks AOE II is a relic Empire Earth SUCKS + most of what they have done recently.

Oh I wasn't trying to compare EB to any of those games. That would be completely and totally insane. They were entertaining a decade ago.

I was just saying that AOE II was by far the best Ensemble has produced. EB is miles above that game. RTS suck for the most part anyways. Too many hours playing them in my early years. I like to sit and take a smoke break and think before I hit end turn. RTS doesn't offer such a luxury.

RTS and toddlers also do not mix (I have to get up every 3 minutes to take something away from her or get her off of a piece of furniture), but R:TW EB is perfect for parents who are constantly interrupted.

You cant really compare EB or even RTW vanilla to AOE II, They are too different.

Even so AOE II is still fun to play every so often, when i get bored waiting for EB 1.0 haha. There are some good designers in Ensemble Studios... Well there were.

I had always assumed the Casse being at peace with the Eletheroui was a minor mistake by the team, I guess I should have known better.
