Moving right along, PC.IGN is the latest website to fire-up a review on Mad Doc Software's recently released strategy title, Empire Earth II. Here's a nugget on the Citizen Manager:

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, Mad Doc did design some truly wonderful features that not only add to gameplay depth but also allow for some alleviation of micromanagement. The Citizen Manager is one of the best inventions for an RTS with multiple resource types. It allows the quick movement of citizens between needed resources on an easy list and map. The map will even show where all of the known resources are. Even better, resource structures can actually be placed from the Citizen Manager screen and will take the closest idle citizen to build and then occupy it. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is a idle citizen spotter on the actual map. You can find them easily enough by hitting comma or the idle citizen button on the gameplay screen, but it would have been great to be able to select specific guys and assign them to resources nearby yourself.
