4.0 out of 5 stars Great Expansion to a Great Game, August 5, 2006

In Empire Earth II - The Art of Supremacy Expansion, you get to choose from a wide variety of ethnic groups as well as time ranges - to try to build your culture's influence and power.

This expansion brings on a few new unit groups - the Maasai, Zulus, Russians and French. They fall under an "African" grouping and you can play in the African region. In addition, you can create a fully customized civilization, mixing in elements from other civilizations that you appreciate. While this might not be historically accurate, it does really expand the fun of gameplay.

For those who have played Age of Empires or Rise of Nations, the general gameplay will make a lot of sense right off. You have troops, buildings, and a map with natives and enemies on it. Your quest is to slowly build up your culture so that it is stable, able to expand and to protect its borders.

The graphics are great. The game isn't going for a 'realistic' look - these are obviously icons of tanks and structures, not actual, detailed versions. Still, it means you can glance at the map and know where your units are and what is going on quickly.

The sounds in general help gameplay without being obtrusive. This isn't a game of deeply moving drama - it is a thinking, strategy game and the sounds help cue you in on what is going on.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves strategy games. It's a game that you can enjoy for months on end.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting add-on to the greatest RTS game around., March 8, 2006

This review is from: Empire Earth 2: the Art of Supremacy Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)

I like Empire Earth II because of its challenging A.I, easy features, and powerful civilizations. And the Xpack adds a lot more stuff and gamemods that should have been in RTS games but didn't appear in them. The four new civilizations include the French, The Russians, the Masai, and the Zulus. They are African tribes and the new region is the African region. The new game modes involves Feality mode. In Feality mode you ask somebody to be your perminate ally. If he declines then that means he gets a bonus against you. If he accepts then you get all his military units and every resource that he gathers you get some of it and you get to see that other units see. If you think a player is planning to backstab you then you can have him executed. Its an easy way to stay in the game after you lose.

There are native tribes around certain territories; if you ask for an alliance with them, they might accept. You have to know which one is the one to ally with. There are beserk tribes, the independent tribes, and the tribes that you can ally with. If you wipe them out, you won't get the military bonuses and they will attack you as well as those that didn't take over the tribes town center.

The other game mode is tug-of-war and it is more like a campaign map; because you select the amount of battles you are allowed to have (you can have infinite battles), if you reach the enemies homemap, then that means they get a bonus against you. It will make his or your game harder is easier.

There are so many features in the Xpack that I can't explain all of them in one review. They are secrets; you have to get the game to discover them.

P.S: If you have a processor with 1.4 Ghz, 496 RAM, and with a Intel Extreme Graphics card (like the one I am using right now), if you set some options to medium or high (except for shadows), you will get better gameplay than with all options at low. That is what I like about this game.

This is really cool game, a huge step up from the regular EE II. The best part is creating your own civilization: you get to pick your unique units and specialties. I highly recomend this game.
