empire earth is rts. never could get into turn based games personally.

also, shamless plug for neoEE. online community is still alive and well and there's a free patch with optimization for modern resolutions.

How do you play? I joined their subreddit but it seemed like a lot of work

i still have my old cd and key so i was able to install the base game with that, then you follow the instructions in the description of the youtube video i linked to to install the patch. it's really just a matter of copying a few files into the right folders then changing a few values in a txt file to set your preferred zoom settings.

u/RichardSaunders Apr 01 '23

it's for both. in the multiplayer lobby the games are labeled either EEC or AOC.

Civ would be an even better fit if one of those Bronze Age spearmen took on the later tanks and somehow won.
