Over the holidays I took the time to play EE3...Holy Pete...this game has been so dumbed down that I felt that it was more rated for my 4 year old grandson than for me and my teenaged son....

What were they thinking? The game is so simplified, so limited that I could not even begin to cover all the bases. Far be it said that EE1 had it's limitations but was far more workable when it came to playablity. The 3D effects of EE2 was a drag on the system, and it had it's lititations as well, but was still playable with the stretch of epohcs and characters. But not EE3.

It's to simplifed, to stupid in mechanics, it lacks imagination, is limited in armies. I don't know what the deal was with some gamers saying it was too complicated for RTS gaming...that's just nonsense.

Use more brain power and stick with EE1 or 2 and dump thins waste of time.
