Empire Earth 2 Developer Interview
PC Gamer has an interview up, here is a snip:
PCG: What new units can players look forward to, and what units are returning from the original?
ID: In Empire Earth 2, there are over 40 separate unit types (land, sea, air) in the game. This translates into more than 350 different combat units when you take into account the number of civilizations in the game. We’ve done a great deal of work to keep the units fresh, some of the unique units players can look forward to in Empire Earth 2 include: Hoplite, Partisan, Legionnaire, MI-6 Agent, Minuteman, Teutonic Knight, Jagdpanther, Royal Elephant, Bedouin, Mameluke, Dragon Song, Samurai, Ninja, Hwarang, Hwacha, Bola Thrower, and Quetzal Warrior, among others.
There are lots of things to look forward to within the units as well, perhaps some of the coolest in the game are our “crewed units.” To me, it’s about the detail here. For example, in the crewed units, we don’t just have a trebuchet driving around the map; there are a couple of soldiers who drag, push and pull it, load the ammo, and crank it back with a winch. Other favorites of mine are the different HERC units. To keep things interesting, each type of leader (Military, Economic, Imperial) has a unique set of powers. This keeps you on your toes. I could go on – there’s a lot of good stuff happening here. As for units returning from the original, fans can look forward to the Catapult, the Bowman, and the Cavalry, among other favorites.
