Also over at GameSpy this evening is a preview on Mad Doc Software's upcoming strategy title, Empire Earth II. Here's something to nibble on:

As it turned, out however, I had reckoned without the care that Mad Doc Software had put into balancing the game as well as the impact of the game's new features. As I mentioned in my earlier preview, the key thing in Empire Earth II that should get RTS fans excited has nothing to do with the number of civilizations they can play with or the amount of units they'll be able to field. What was driven home to me at Empire Earth II University was how the game's war planner and communication utilities change the calculus of victory and defeat. In Empire Earth II multiplayer, victory will be less dependent on perfect battlefield strategy than a player's ability to read, lead, and manipulate other players -- both allies and opponents.

Definatly a fun read if this game is already on your radar. Check it out!
