Empire Earth III
With Empire Earth III shipping next month, Sierra and developer Mad Doc Software are revealing more details about the three key regions in the game.
The geographical regions each contain separate factions. For example, the Western region will have English and French factions. However, the English and French are going to be fairly similar to one another, particularly when it comes to visual identity and gameplay. We previously covered the Middle East region, and now we’ll cover the Far East faction.
In Empire Earth III, you’ll be able to experience all of human history, from the Stone Age to beyond the Space Age. The series, which is sort of like the classic Civilization series but played out in real time, will require you to build an economy and structures to research the scientific advancements that advance you from one historical age to another. As you move into a new age, you have access to more powerful military units and technologies to use in your struggle to survive, as well as expand.
The Far East Region
Factions based on the Far East region have a simple philosophy: Quantity is a quality. Thanks to their huge populations, the Far East factions like to rely on large amounts of relatively cheap units to offset any technological advantage their opponents might have over them. Who needs expensive units when you can swamp them with sheer numbers? As such, though, Far East players must play aggressively to take advantage of their numerical superiority. In general, the Far East must play to these strengths because it lacks the mobility of Middle Eastern armies and the technological edge of Western ones.
