The expansion adds a new era to Empire Earths 100,000s years, adding a new level of game play and diversity into this already great game. It also adds far more greater eye candy and improvements into the already evolved game play; example farms are no longer corn only; they offer a diversity of fruits/vegetables and now Custom Civilizations Offer special abilities for your Empire in General; Ranging from Slavery, To expansionism, to A Market (AOK anyone?) to cloaking and Insurance. It also offers specialized units Such as the Cyber ninja , SAS commando and Paratroopers. The ninja can disable temporarily building productions , while on the other hand SAS commandos can set charges on things C n C style, and finally paratroopers are tossed from a plane (8 of them) to assist softening the defenses for a full scale attack. A new terrain also is introduced; Mars, this inhospitable planet is the zone for your allies and you to create an empire to rule them all. I believe this is one of the few great expansions that introduce more ups then downs. Must have for EE lovers.

This is a must have add-on to a great game. It's older and I saw a copy going for $9.99. I paid $29 for and it was worth it at that price. If you own Empire Earth, you have to buy this. Wyatt Kaldenberg

If you like MS's Age of Empires series or you already have EE then by all means get The Art of Conquest. I never even played any of the campaigns - I strictly play multiplayer with my friends and on the net. AOC adds a new element to the civs which was not there in the first release of EE. Each civ. now has "special abilities"... like Novaya Russia has a nuke, America has a market, Brits have a special demolition unit, etc... this changes the game drastically as you know have a weapon (based on what you pick) that no one else has. Or design your own custom civ and have 2-3 special civ. abilities... There are some new units as well and the new Space Age epoch... which I'm not too crazy about (but then again I dont like anything past WW2-Nuclear). It's worth it if you already like the original EE or just planning to get into RTS games.

This expansion has it all! It has a whole new epoch in 2200 (the Space Age) 3 new campaigns, (Roman, Pacific, Asian) better graphics (I like the artillery craters) more units, (Cyber Ninja, SAS Commando, Watchman, etc) more buildings, (Space Dock, Space Turret, Palisades, etc) more techs, new heroes, more civilizations, the new addition of specific powers, and the next frontier, Space! Empire Earth is a great game, Art of Conquest makes it even better!

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Empire Earth: the art of conquest expansion with no doubt is the best expansion pc game in the world. It has about 10,000 more years then the orginal Empire Earth pc game. Also it has special options such as paratroopers, sas comamdos, and about 15 other options not available on the orginal Empire Earth.The only bad thing is that it takes a long time to play a single game and it takes up a lot of memory for your pc. I would sugest you play this game a few times on easy because it is a hard game for beginners. After you get a sense of what the controls do, you can start doing harder stuff where your enemy attacks you. It's the campaigns I like because they include WWII in the Pacific and major battles that turned the war into America's hands.Also there are campaigns such as the digital age(right after moderen) and an older age in B.C. times. This is is a great game!!

I have read several reviews from gaming sites that this games doesn't offer enough. Gamespot in particular gave this a 5.2 out of 10 rating and gave the value a 3 out of 10. Give me a break. This expansion pack gives you 18 new missions (ever seen another expansion pack do that? not many I will bet, and a few of them are pretty hard. There is also a new option that you can make each mission easier or harder instead of having to start the complete scenario over (though I am glad it din't have that option in the original becasue I would have taken that way out on a few of those tough missions). The graphics didn't improve all that much, and neither did the cutscenes, but it seems there was alot more color added to the terrain, units, and buildings. There are also new maps for multiplay or going against the computer like mars and the moon. There is also a new civilization you can play. There are serveral hours of gameplay (especially with with many of the mission in each scenario lasting 2 hours or more to beat), so this adds much more to an already awesome game. And with the price it is selling at now, how can you not add this to your EE collection. A great value for all the gameplay you will get.

I bought this game when it first came out and have been loving it since then. The graphics are decent and all the ages and units are great. I think this expansion improved on a already awesome game.

This expansion pack is "beyond words." It has a whole new age, which is the Space Epoch. Plus, it comes with three new campaigns. This is definetely worth the money.
