No more emails, this is the final version. Besides, most of the emails
I get are asking for cheats\campaign editor. And if the question is
actually legitmate my response is usually just a sentence from the
guide for that level. Yes, you can find my email in the legal secion,
I know - don't email my anymore about the game please. I helped you
guys for 8 months, I'm retiring now.

Empire Earth is a game that covers time periods from 500,000BC
to times past the present. Each time period, or epoch, has been
designed for historical accuracy (except the last one, Nano). The
campaign covers all epochs (including the made up age). This is a
detailed HAND-HELD walkthrough for each campaign, and does not provide
general strategies for skirmishes, multiplayer, ect. I will provide
strategies usable against the computer AI, but these will not work
against human players (well human players with any sense).

This game needs a very good computer to play it and still have
fun. I have a 700MHz Celeron, 768MB RAM (256MB+512MB), and a VooDoo 3
3000. I would say this is a pretty good system but the game still runs
very laggy (about 10-15fps), even when only a few units are on screen.
I recommend you turn the game settings to best performance if you are
having problems (I did).

The in game graphics are OK; they aren't the best I've seen.
Each unit is a low-poly model and this can be seen when the game zooms
in for cinematic sequences. The faces of the models are just two quads,
with a face texture on them. The terrain is also decent. Even with all
these low quality models and textures the game still won't run fast on
my system. But set everything else aside the game is fun, and that's
all that matters.

**0000*****************************************************************

Name: Empire Earth

Publisher: Sierra

Genre: Real Time Strategy

Requirements: Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP

-Minimal Requirements-
350MHz
64MB of RAM
450MB of hard disk space + 100MB for swap file
Monitor capable of 1024x768 *
AGP (4MB) or PCI (8MB) 3D Video card that supports
1024x768x16 resolution *
CD-ROM drive
Microsoft compatible mouse or other pointing device
28.8Kbps modem for multiplayer
DirectX compatible sound card
DirectX 8.0a or later

-Recommended-
600MHz or higher processor
128MB of RAM (or more)
32MB AGP 3D video card
56Kbps modem for multiplayer


*A requirement is a 1024x768 compatible video card / monitor; however
my monitor only supports 800x600. You can play the game just fine, but
the menus are kind of scrambled. When you open the game go into game
settings and set the resolution to 800x600, when you go into a game the
screen will go to normal. About the video card I'm pretty sure there's
no way around that.
