So if you don't learn the fast keys it will seriously slow you down over the course of the game. For example when you click on a villager instead of seeing menu for all buildings you now have an extra click required to select citizen vs military buildings. They have moved everything around and they assume you are going to remember all the fast keys. Personally I love Empire Earth 1 since it's so simple.

If you love Empire Earth (I) then you are in for a HUGE culture shock. The game has good graphics and tons of new buildings and uni ts to learn about. I ended up buying Empire Earth II w/Art of Supremacy (USA Version) and installed it on the same computer and it works perfect. It occurs during head to head because the application needs increase in regard to the size of game you are playing. It seems to be how this copy manages either the processor or the memory I can't tell which. The game does fine for learning stages, but when you try playing head to head. I installed the software on a decent Dell gx260 with 1 gig of ram and 40 gigs free harddrive space. I gave THIS ITEM a low rating because the foreign copy of this software even though it has an english version does not work properly. It involves Africa and the Maasai tribe fighting for liberation.I need to explain the rating. The third is a campaign based in the future. The second is based in the Russian era of the Napoleonic Wars. The first campaign is in the Egyptian times involving Pharaohs. The expansion features three new campaigns, each of which is divided into separate scenarios like the rest of the Empire Earth franchise. Any leader or hero can become this, and it allows them to have stronger leader powers and form stronger armies. There is also a new crown power called the supreme leader. You can leave them alone, ally with them, or be at war with them. The expansion pack introduces an option to have native tribes, who are neutral players. These Heroes can form groups (called armies) with other soldiers and doing so enables all soldiers to become stronger. It allows soldiers to become Heroes if they get a certain amount of kills. It also has a new region ( African) with 2 Civilizations ( Maasai and Zulu) and 2 new civilizations in existing regions ( French and Russians), which are in the Western region. The game adds 3 new Campaigns which are described below and two new Turning Point scenarios. It also includes three new campaigns: Egyptian, Russian and Maasai, and new gameplay features such as units becoming Heroes and allying with neutral tribes. It introduces new features such as a new cultural region (African) which includes two new civilizations, the Maasai and the Zulu.

Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy is the official expansion pack for Empire Earth II.
