Empire Earth Heaven -- Crawling Through The Dust
So, it's now been 10 years since Empire Earth was first released. Empire Earth Heaven has been around even longer, don't ask me how that works, it just does. A bit like gravity.
In these 10 years we have seen many a scenario & mod released on these fine forums. Many a person has posted, many people fought against each other in epic clashes on the original servers and even now, people come to wage war through the epochs on the SaveEE servers.
This news section has been, sadly, extremely quiet and it's been over a year since there has been a post. I have a feeling this shows a sense of inactivity in the site, even if a few die hard fans still crank out masses of scenarios. Honestly, there could be hundreds of people visting daily or just 10. All I know is that while people continue to download, people will continue to design and craft and mould fantastic scenarios.
I plan on writing a post every week, interviewing scenario designers -- if they wish to, put the spotlight on deserving scenarios and just keep this place up to date.
A quick point, as this is mainly a notification post, for any budding scenario designers out there. Empire Creations, the last remaining (that I know of) SD team for Empire Earth, has a great little forum and the chaps there are always willing to lend a hand or even an entire arm!
Got a question on a trigger? Want to know if making a tiger do backflips while having an arm wrestle with a Zeus II is possible? These guys probably know the answer, and if they don't, they'll probably find out.
So, yeah, may your scenarios never corrupt!

Empire Earth 4 -- Under Construction! Well, not quite... but there is a fantastic mod on the way, which by the looks of it, is set to be awe-inspiring. Rgv1 and some other modders, I believe, are partaking in a project that is to EEII what EEv2 to EE. Just some of their plans include: - Each country will have it's own unique units & different characteristics. - Every epoch will have historical prototypes. - In each of the 15 periods, there will be unique battle tactics. - Massively expanding the econmic side of things. There are new buildings - the mines, mills, sawmills, quarries, etc. There's a new profession too - fisherman. - Strengthing the social and political side. New abilities for spies and priests. The early eras will contain magic - I want to see how this is implemtented. More diplomatic buildings etc. As you can see, they are pretty ambitious but from the looks of some screenshots posted at Empire Creations, I'd say they are well set to complete it! They have already supposedly created 700 (!) new units, new 3d models, new economic system, civilian jobs and more! One of the things I'm personally hoping for, with the country unique units, is that they follow the Command and Conquer theorem - Different but equal. As in that differing sides have completely different units but are still balanced! Difficult to get right but when it does, it is amazing! They are welcome for more suggestions or even modders so pop on over to Empire Creations, sign up for an account or post as a guest and head into the below thread: sotyscndesign.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gendis&action=display&thread=849&page=1-- Cheers, Xenophone.
