military and historical

I've been fortunate to see this game in full version development and have played the demos (single and multi-player). If you love historically based RTS, or just like strategy games, you should definitely enjoy Empires: DMW. The graphics are outstanding, the game is rock solid and options for players of the different civs provide VERY interesting strategic choices.

In multiplayer mode the game will be enormously interesting and challenging because of the options available to the human player. In single player mode, more casual "empire building" players will find a tough but fair AI to compete against, and there will be many difficulty levels to choose from depending on how tough you want your opponent to be.

This is a very, very high quality game in an era when there's a lot of junk out there. But you have to be willing to learn the game and take on a bit of a challenge, and appreciate historical differences in the many civs in the game. If you have the skills to play, you will be richly rewarded!

First off, I'm not a great gamer, so I'm not in touch will all the great strategies, etc. I don't play too many games a year, but this is one I'll be sticking with for quite a while!

For me to get attached to another RTS is amazing since I usually don't like RTS games much. I played Age of Kings some and liked it, but others I tried were just bleh..

This game made me so happy! A friend got it for me, and since I hadn't played RTS in a while, I was a little suprised. We played it mostly against the computer and I'm so addicted! Since every civ is 100% unique (all the powers, units, colors, sounds, even starting citizens) I feel like its a brand new game to explore every time I play. We love playing against the AI mostly, but when my friend is busy I played the scenarios.

The scenarios impressed me a lot. I tend to like multiplayer with friends the most, but the stories and cinematics here are awesome!

I could go on and on, but I need to finish typing this so I can finish the YI campaign!

THIS IS A MUST BUY!!! ok ok, I'm a little excited about it... =)

After playing Total Annihilation and The Core Contingency RTS games for years, I was hoping something better would have come along by now. An expansion pack might improve E:DOTMW. But this has all been done before in Age of Empires, Empire Earth, etc. And Total Annihilation does RTS gaming even better than those do.
