How to Decide
Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest is a 2002 real‑time strategy game loved by history buffs and RTS fans for its mix of ancient, modern and futuristic campaigns. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Empire Earth III leans on a global‑conquest campaign that uses a world‑map structure; Empire Earth emphasizes a 15‑epoch timeline plus a full suite of map‑editor and mod tools; Empire Earth II differentiates itself with a detailed war‑planner system and built‑in co‑operative multiplayer; Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome stands out for adding four new civilizations and a scenario editor for custom maps; Age of Empires II: The Conquerors is chosen for its HD graphics, widescreen support and extensive technology tree enhancements.
When weighing these options, focus on (1) the breadth of historical epochs covered – from the 15‑epoch span of Empire Earth and Empire Earth II to the shorter, world‑map epochs of Empire Earth III; (2) multiplayer depth – number of players supported, presence of co‑op (Empire Earth II) and online stability; (3) modding and custom content tools – map editors and community mod support (Empire Earth, Age of Empires II); (4) graphical modernity and OS compatibility – HD/widescreen upgrades in Age of Empires II versus the dated graphics of the older titles; and (5) campaign richness – number and variety of single‑player campaigns, such as the multi‑era campaigns of Empire Earth versus the focused Roman campaign in Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome.
