Empire Earth
"" was not technically the sequel to "Empire Earth", but it was released in 2003 and sometimes referenced as the spiritual sequel to "Empire Earth". The game was also designed by Rick Goodman and the SSSI team, and had many throwbacks to the first "Empire Earth". "Empires: Dawn of the Modern World" was much more condensed, with only 1,000 years and only nine civilizations. Even so, the game received positive acclaim as a good RTS, but not very innovative.
