Think Age of Empires in 3D.
I've been meaning to return anf finish that game - was one of the only games that actually ran decently under Win2K (speed-wise), so I didn't have to go through the process of rebooting to play it. I think I got to the level with the first firearms.

Rise of Nations is a top game, BTW. Actually has a good strategic dynamic, too.

Empire earth is ok, but the graphics engine could use some work. the models are somewhat low poly, even for a 3D RTS, and the mapped planes stick out like a sore thumb, like the guns on the infantry. it's just a texture on a plane, and it's painfully obvious.
It's also rediculously balanced. you have to shoot a villager 8 times with a tank before he'll die, and ten f-14's can't take out one dark age tower before they have to refuel.
if you want a 3D RTS game with both good gameplay and graphics, play Age Of Mythology.

One of my spearmen once took out a ranged infantry unit in the Atomic Age :lol: So from now on I stock up on spearmen put them in forts and when my enemy gets into any of the ages with ranged infantry I let the spearmen go amok. Units are bigger than buildings also. mynameismethos

thats rather unbalanced :wtf:. shouldn't a tank be able to survive anything that primitive technology could throw at it?

The game in my opponion is mostly developed around this: a unit is good against this unit but is terrible against this unit but somehow is good against a more advanced unit but on a rare occasion is bad against the unit it was designed to take out. :wtf:
It is really confussing no wonder why I lose so much :lol:
