Empire Earth III
A time-spanning 4X strategy game with faction customization that aims for ambition but lands in middling execution.
GamerScout Verdict
For strategy diehards willing to overlook rough edges in exchange for faction-building depth and eras spanning ancient to future.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Empire Earth III
Empire Earth III lets you build a civilization from ancient times through the future across three preset factions or a custom faction you design yourself. The tech tree and faction system promise meaningful differentiation, but a 50 Metacritic score signals what players have found: solid foundation, rough implementation. You're managing economy, politics, and military across multiple eras, which sounds like classic 4X depth, but the AI and late-game balance reportedly don't hold up under serious play. If you're the type who enjoys spreadsheets and long-term strategic planning, there's a game here worth poking at, especially if mods address the rough edges. The custom faction builder is the hook that separates this from Empire Earth's earlier entries, but don't expect the polish of Civilization or the mechanical clarity of Total War. It's a mid-tier strategy title that rewards patience more than it rewards brilliance.
