What the hell happened? First game was amazing, though the cheating AI bothered me a little bit. Then we come to the second game, they stripped some elements and added more to make up for them.

Only a few "epochs" as opposed to 14 of the the second one, and more from the first one. Little to no research. This game is a dumbed-down version of Starcraft when it comes to resources. Instead of gas and minerals in Starcraft, you have Gold and Resources. You can build a tank out of wood! How cool is that? Empire Earth III seems to be concentrated more on warfare than resource management but it is simple paper-rock-scissors fighting system. In conclusion, it's not even worth the bargain bin. Just download it and you'll still feel ripped off.
