GS: We understand that there are 10 new combat units in the expansion, such as the Zulu warriors, Russian howitzers, and the Rafale stealth fighter. We're happy to get them in to completely round out the region's civilizations. Both the noble Maasai and the fearsome Zulu add completely different powers and tactics to the landscape of Empire Earth II. We're also excited about our other new civilizations: the Maasai and Zulu of the all-new African region. Both France and Russia play a large role in one of the expansion's new campaigns. And both countries have an extremely rich history that is great for the title. We've added the French and the Russians for two reasons: We wanted fans in those countries to be able to play as their native civilizations. MS: With the expansion, we add four new civilizations to the mix. So what are some of the new civilizations in the expansion? How many are there? Are any of these new playable factions being added at the strenuous request of fans, who may have felt one or more factions were a major omission? Or were these civilizations previously cut from the original due to time constraints? Or are they being included in the expansion pack to add to it in specific ways, such as using new strategies or options that are unique to the expansion? GS: We know there are already 14 civilizations in the core game of Empire Earth II. Most expansions just give you a few new maps and a handful of new units, whereas ours updates and adds to every section of Empire Earth II, as well as gives you three new story-driven campaigns. Our expansion pack rounds out the main game to give you the complete Empire Earth II experience. Matt Stokes: We were all very happy with Empire Earth II, but there were things that we really wanted to get in there that just didn't make it in time for the final ship of the game. Could you briefly sum up what The Art of Supremacy is, and tell us what the overall theme or goal for the project is? GameSpot: Empire Earth II shipped way back in April, so we imagine that you've probably spent all your time since then working on the expansion. The Russians are one of the new factions in the expansion. For the first details on the expansion, which is due next year, we caught up with Matt Stokes, associate producer for the game. The Art of Supremacy will introduce several new civilizations to play with, as well as a host of new features and improvements.
After releasing Empire Earth II earlier this year, the folks at Mad Doc Software are hard at work on an expansion pack to their epic real-time strategy game that stretches from the dawn of time to the future.
