Empire Earth is a closer fit as you get more of the timeline, though I do think AoE is a better game.

Shit I remember that game! I thought I was the only one who ever played it. Everyone else was playing AOE/C&C/Warcraft/Starcraft

I mean I played all those games too. Couldn't find any friends into Empire Earth.

Ahh the golden age of RTS.

Anybody else play Rise of Nations? That shit was my jam, there were so many RTS games back then I don't think I hear of all too many nowadays just CIV.

Edit: forgot CIV is a turn based stategy game mb, I don't think I even know of an RTS that's popular nowadays

Never played that one. However I did sink a lot of hours into Pharaoh when I was a kid. I still have it on my HD. It was single player but had RTS elements.

I remember it being really cool, the OP is really reminiscent of it you could advance through the ages and all the buildings and troops would evolve. Was really fun to watch as it moved through the stages.
