VU Games' EMPIRE EARTH II is an incredibly popular real-time strategy games that allows players to guide one civilization from the stone age into the future. The goal, of course, is to spread that civilization across the earth, building a huge empire that spans the globe. Players can achieve this goal using several different methods, some peaceful, some not. EMPIRE EARTH II: THE ART OF SUPREMACY is the first expansion pack for EMPIRE EARTH II and adds new civilizations, new campaigns, and more. France, Russia, the Zulu, and the Maasai enter into the race for global control in The Art of Supremacy. Each has its own unique units, wonders, and abilities. The game's three new campaigns are set to feature these four new civilizations, with the first taking place in the Napoleonic Wars, the second in ancient Egypt, and the third in a futuristic Africa. These campaigns also include new turning point missions that players can play from either side. While each of the four new civilizations have their own unique units, the other groups in the game also gain some new units. Common units in each civilization's army can, with enough experience, turn into hero units. These units are more powerful and have additional abilities, making them very useful. Another new feature are the persistent units. These units actually carry over between missions and keep their experience and abilities. Gamers who love EMPIRE EARTH II will love the new features that Art of Supremacy brings to the game.
