A bit laggy...

I experienced a lot of lags when playing this. Things slowed down a lot, screens took long to load. Maybe the game is too taxing for my system.

However, the Multiplayer was quite entertaining and I kept playing longer than I would have ever guessed.

It's just a little sad to see the third installment of this great series going down the hill.

Those of you that still remember the first Empire Earth, will know that if you set-up the game for 2 players, the difficulty to the default setting and hit the start button... you'll be sit on that chair for 2hours++ just to get through the stone age.
I could still remember that I use to play one battle for more than 2 days.

For me the only really weak point of Empire Earh III is the game play duration. If you start a Skirmish battle with the same setting as meantioned above you'll probably finish the game within 2 hours. (So much for RTS). The rest of the improvements are quite nice, they have added "World Domination" mode (almost like the board game: Risk). Improvements are made on the character/object modeling an the enviroment.

For those of you that like the long game play... stick to Empire Earth I. Other than that, the overall game experience is really nice.

Empire Earth III: If only...

If only someone else owned and published this title so perhaps the occasional crashes were distant memories along with Sierra Games 286 programs of long ago.

If only when selecting an item, the game would not pop me to the non interactive edge of the map.

If only the AI would not cheat and spawn fresh enemies from off the map.

If only automatic militia building placement had a tad forethought.

If only there was a minute of grace period at the start of a provincial war. Spawning in the middle of overwhelming numbers is quite rude.

If only the AI would not permit your units from blocking one another during moves.

If only troops could not fall off bridges and get stuck.

If only the game was not so addicting, I could have gotten the garden in on time.

Empire Earth III is still a fun must have for the serious collector and gamer of the series. Even when popping out to Desk Top often, game crashes and lockups are far less frequent than my other Sierra titles.

The character audio scripts are cute. When they begin to annoy, an option permits them to be turned off.

I retired from designing/publishing business software and the grandkids expressed an interest in Empire Earth III since last year I had given them each Empire Earth II. One is starting college this coming semester and an avid gamer. A great joy of his was to advance a scenario into a great pickle and leave it to grandpa to figure how to survive it.

Empire Earth III is fun, passes the hours and another enticement for the grandkids to visit their grandpa's farm. Gaming doesn't get better than playing with friends and family.

In spite of the "If only" roster, I recommend this game.
