This version includes four maps (q3dm1, q3dm7, q3dm17, and q3tourney2) and six characters (Sarge, Visor, Major, Grunt, Daemia, and Stripe). You can play with others across a local area network or the Internet.Game modifications based on version 1.17 code will NOT function with this point release. While the first two games in the series at least inspired love or hate, this new arrival is so ‘blah’ that it can only elicit a lot of 'What the hell happened here?’ shrugs.
So, welcome to Empire Earth III, a shot back at the critics that answers complaints by dumbing the whole game down to utter dreck. A lot of RTS gamers have been clamoring for a simplified Empire Earth over the past couple of years, finding the first two releases in the series to be a mess of units and eras as incomprehensible as a history textbook after it’s been fished out of a blender.
