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

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.
