There's no doubt in that this title Empire Earth II is, or at least was at the time of release, one of the most complete and exciting real-time strategy titles out there. Not only for the way it played but also for how complete it was.
In Empire Earth, you have so much content to explore, that it will take you dozens of hours just to see all the civilizations available. Even with how complete and amazing it was, it seems to be a second place in popularity with Age of Empires. But how come that a game as huge, balanced and interesting as Empire Earth II has been even forgotten by the mainstream masses?
Probably because of the follow-up titles. Not that Empire Earth II wasn't great, but the company merged with Activision and Blizzard later on. On the other hand, we still get HD remasters of the Age of Empires titles, and that brings an entirely new audience. And given that Age of Empires released first by a long time, it's only natural we hear more about it.
Empire Earth II is definitely one of those cases of amazing games that live in the shadows of other similar games. A lot like all the other Dark Souls-like games there are nowadays.
Truth is that Empire Earth II presented a nice looking 3D map, with 14 civilizations available and different ages to play in. Similar to what Civilization games do, but in a real-time strategy game set. Even though it's not mainstream, it is a cult game, with a big online fan base even now, so if you're looking for new tips and info, there are tons of sites you can check with an active community.
