Empires: Dawn of the Modern World
Empires: Dawn of the Modern World is a 2003 history-based real-time strategy computer game developed by Stainless Steel Studios and released on October 21, 2003. Considered an unofficial sequel to Empire Earth, the game requires players to collect resources to build an empire, train military units, and conquer opposing civilizations. Based on a slightly compressed version of world history, Empires covers five eras, from the Medieval Age to World War II. The game features nine civilizations: England, the Franks, Korea, and China are playable from the Medieval Age to the Imperial Age; the United States, Russia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are playable in the World War I and World War II ages. The game attracted positive critical reaction. In 2009, Activision terminated its multiplayer server contract with GameSpy. Multiplayer can be played unofficially in Gameranger services.

Games can be truly epic. Resources are plentiful, maps are huge, and battles are insane.
-Armchair Review
Fans of Age of Empires will want this title. Three story-based modes, another 5 eras and 7 civilizations, random map generator, and both single and multiplayer game modes. Enough to keep you busy for hours and hours.
-Elited
Make no mistake, the single-player campaigns are great, but the multiplayer gives you and your friends more freedom to create the RTS atmosphere of your dreams.
-ActionTrip
The 3D engine delivers very beautiful images and when you zoom in, you really get the feeling of being right in the action.
-FragLand Review
The three campaigns are long enough that this really is almost like three games in one.

As each chapter of history unfolds, you find yourself dealing with new technologies and unlocking more complex examples of advanced warfare. In the final campaign, airplanes and armored vehicles roll into gameplay, as well as flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and atomic weapons.
-InTheMix
The campaigns feature engrossing storylines, like Richard the Lionheart's ascension to the throne. There are points in the campaigns where players will have to make difficult choices.

Empires: Dawn of the Modern World has done something that not many titles have done too recently, drawn me into a world and not let me to till the wee small hours.
-Gamer Archive
With a full time line of epochs, theres a lot to keep track of. All the civilizations have different bonuses and that can turn the tide of war. Russia has weak but cheap infantry in WW2, and gets 7 workers for free. Chinese get two free town-centers, and are very versatile in their economic needs.
