Empires: Dawn of the Modern World is a history-based real-time strategy computer game developed by Stainless Steel Studios and released in 2003. In many ways, it is a sequel to Empire Earth, Stainless Steel Studios's previous game.
Rather than allowing the player to play at any point in history, Empires: Dawn of the Modern World restricts the gameplay to five "epochs": Medieval Age, Gunpowder Age, Imperial Age, World War I, and World War II.
Empires:DOTM also features seven civilizations: English, Franks, Koreans and Chinese playable from the Medival Age up to the Imperial Age, and the United States, Russia, Germany, France and the United Kingdom playable from World War I to World War II.
Features
- 1,000 of the most significant years in history - Rule from 950 to 1950, including the Medieval Age, the Gunpowder Age, the Imperial Age, World War I, and World War II.
- Historically based civilizations - Command one of several distinctive nations. From the Chinese's use of gunpowder to Germany's incredible air power, game outcomes are affected by each nation's strengths.
- Historically accurate units and abilities - Utilize units from the past, from the plague-ridden cow carcasses flung by enemy forces to the German V2 rocket.
- Battle on land, at sea, and in air - Create authentic and varied strategies to dominate your opponents with land, sea and air units--from a cavalry charge to firing a broadside shot into an enemy's sails or a surprise air strike.
- Single-player game modes - Play random map games and do battle against up to seven AI opponents or lead your troops into battle as one of three of the greatest military leaders in history--General Patton, Richard the Lionheart, or Admiral Yi--in story-based campaigns.
- Multiplayer mode - Battle against or alongside up to seven friends online as you struggle for ultimate victory.
- Spectacular graphics - Cutting edge 3D graphics and the zooming camera give you a general's view of battle in all its glorious detail, unlike any other RTS.
