    The team really outdid themselves in differentiating the different societies. This was done while still keeping a delicate balance. No one "civ" has the advantage.

    This focused approach allows the game to present more of a story-driven environment that is effectively dramatic in its mostly factual portrayal of historical events.

    Empires isn't flashy or exotic enough to be crowned the new event horizon of the now officially clogged "historical" real-time strategy wheelhouse, but it's likable and shinier than most. [Feb 2004, p.64]

    To be honest i must agree that the single played random map mode is not the best, on the other hand the multiplayer games are really fun as there are limitless ways to win and new strategies to adopt. The fact that the game has a editor also means that you can make your own maps/scns to play to :D. Basically i think the online play is fun fun fun.… Expand

And it's small indeed, besides the improved graphic (irrelevant in this type of games) the strategic and tactic options are far fewer than those in EMPIRE EARTH (no personalized civilizations). perhaps they wanted something to counter Microsoft last RTS, but they didn't saw that it was a poor copy of EMPIRE EARTH!… Expand

    Wondering where all this 10 ratings coming from??? This game is bad, rarely been so disappointed of a game. I just played 2 campaign scenarios and a random map. Depth is like one third of RON, lot of design flaws. Going to uninstall it. I rather play RON or Empire Earth again.… Expand
