Is possible to zoom in like Empire Earth ?

[FabioManoel1977]

20 years ago I played a lot Empire Earth, too bad not have it on steam to buy, but I never played Age of Empires it is possible in Age of Empires to zoon in like Empire Earth ? I really liked a lot to play very near the characters in the screen...

it would never work. it may work if they added a pause function that lets you give commands, but they don't have it.

Also you can get #1 of Empire Earth for $6, and the other 2 for $10, on Good Ol' Games.

also, to answer, you can zoom in a good amount, but not fps or anything. i'm not sure how EE did it, so i can't answer completely.

Buy Empire Earth on GOG, it's always advised to buy older games from GOG and not steam.

GOG takes care of the data to make it work on newer systems while in 90% of the case Steam doesn't care at all to make it run on newer systems. Causing alot of problems for buyers on steam. (Games not working etc. )

As others pointed out - the entire Empire Earth series is on GOG. There's a mod called "NeoEE" which even enables online play since the original servers were shut down.

To answer your question: You can zoom in but not as close as in Empire Earth.

And well.. Empire Earth 1 was made by the same guy who made Age of Empires 1, so you'll feel at home when playing any Age game :)

Empires: Dawn of the Modern World is worth checking as well. It was made by the same devs between Empire Earth 1 and 2.
