Gaming News - September 2002
Bellevue, WA (September 17, 2002) - Sierra Entertainment, Inc., a
studio of the Games division of Vivendi Universal Publishing, today announced
that Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest has shipped to retail stores nationwide.
Developed by Mad Doc Software, Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest is the official
expansion pack for Empire Earth, a real-time strategy game that has sold
over one million copies worldwide.
From Sierra:
The Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest game is rated "T" for teen audiences by
the Entertainment Software Rating Board, and carries a suggested retail price of
$29.99. A retail copy of Empire Earth is required to run Empire Earth: The Art
of Conquest. More information about the game can be found at
www.empireearth.com.
The Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest game includes three new single-player
campaigns set in ancient Rome, the Pacific Theater of World War II, and Asia in
the 22nd century. In addition, each of the 21 pre-designed civilizations in the
game gains a unique special power, building, or unit. Examples include: the
Kingdom of Italy's Metallurgy power, which allows them to pay building costs
with gold or iron interchangeably; Great Britain's S.A.S. unit will be able to
plant demolitions and swim across water; and the United States' market building
will allow that civilization to trade abundant resources for scarce ones.
The Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest game will also feature significant new
multiplayer functionality. The multiplayer improvements will further enhance
Empire Earth's wide array of online game play options, and give more flexibility
to gamers competing via the Internet. These enhancements will also be available
as a free download to Empire Earth owners.
In the Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest game, gamers can become the greatest
conqueror of all time by creating, building, and leading a civilization to
transcend the ages - from the discovery of fire, to flight, to the next
frontier: space.
From Prehistory to the Space Age of the 22nd Century, Empire Earth serves up
gaming on an epic scale. Empire Earth and Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest
cover over 500,000 years of human history, from the discovery of fire to the
laser battles of the future. Each player takes control of a fledgling
civilization and strives to forge the greatest of all empires.
