After playing Empire Earth II last year I set it aside and moved on to other games. I replayed it again in preparation of AoS when I recently bought the expansion. I was surprised that no guides existed already. Either the expansion was not that popular or a guide was not needed. In any case I decided to take down notes and write one as I played through the scenarios. I have written character guides before for Neverwinter Nights, but this is the first time I have done a walkthrough for a strategy game. I have been playing strategy PC games since they were created, who remembers Empire and Civilization? I don't claim to be a great player and I don't really get into the multi-player aspects of these games, but I am experienced in many games. I plan to make this guide to serve as an outline of my strategy used for the completion. It not intended to be the best way to complete each scenario, but I will include strategy revisions from other players if they are constructive and help make the guide better. *********************************************************************** * * * [2.0] BASIC STRATEGY * * * *********************************************************************** For Empire Earth II (EE2) the first basic component that players need to master is the resources. Balancing them can be a matter of preference and experienced players probably have their own ideas. Some scenarios require some adjustments based on Objectives to be accomplished. My basic prefence is to use only 3-4 food (including boats), 7-10 wood, 5-6 stone, 4-6 gold (including traders), 2-4 of the specials depending on usage. Of course in scenarios where the Population Capacity (Pop Cap) is around 200 or more this may need to be increased. For Tech Research I usually go for 1 university and 1 temple, but that depends on starting buildings and units. I tend to not use priests units except for special Objectives, so I put the starting units into a Temple. I will sometimes go with only 1 building for research if there is no Epoch advancement in the early Epochs when research is cheaper. I usually use at least one dedicated building team with 2-4 citizens to handle my main construction efforts. This team is usually building the defenses around my primary Areas of Interest (AOIs) initially. As I expand into new territories throughout the Area of Operations, they follow the army's advance, building the forward defenses and infrastructure. I use regular resource gathers to do spot building/repairing in nearby locations if necessary. Using the [Shift] key to queue up orders and send them back their resource gathering without revisiting them again. In my strategy I am probably light on resource gathering. In most scenarios it is going to boil down to attrition principles and the more you cost the enemy compared to your expenses while preserving the main army is to your advantage. I don't like throwing away armies and rebuilding them quickly with a larger resource gathering plan. I prefer letting the enemy kill themselves on my defenses until my larger army rolls over them. Identifying key AOIs and Choke Points (CPs) are important to protect against counter-attacks and invasions during the scenarios. Also proper defenses are necessary to ensure resource gathering efforts are not disrupted by the enemy. Consolidating the resource operations into protected areas is best. It does mean the enemy could really hurt if they can attack those areas, but the idea is to prevent them from ever getting close. For armies I usually use 1-2 infantry groups, mixed with balance of all 3 types of infantry plus light artillery. The heavy artillery is grouped separately to keep them behind the infantry and keep the infantry army formation more compact and manageable. Also use 1-2 mobile groups of cavalry for quick response and flanking attacks/raids. In later Epochs the cavalry is replaced by more modern equivelants. Air and Anti-air is used to support the ground forces. With the heroes, I tend to split them among the 2 infantry armies if appropriate and form armies to make them more effective. The heavy artillery and cavalry heroes stay with their type of units. Winning the military crown can turn one of your ranged heroes or the named leader into better strategist as well. The supreme strategist should always be with the main army. At the end of a scenario, tributing a few extra surplus units to be killed by the appropriate type of unit can get those last remaining kills to get the hero not yet received. In some situations a spy can be a force multiplier to sabotage an enemy fortress while your army has to operate in its vicinity and it is difficult to knock it down with heavy artillery without taking a heavy toll on the army. Going for the Imperial crown first can speed along the Tech Point gathering to gain the other Crowns faster. *********************************************************************** * * * [3.0] EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN * * * *********************************************************************** [3.1] Neferkare and the Old Kingdom =================================== [3.1.1] Objectives ------------------ Primary: Rescue Miners Dumyat in the South Protect Mining Camp in Dumyat Build 2 Wonders before time expires (approx 30 minutes) Secondary: Defeat Bandit Camp Tribute Gold to Gain Market Tech [3.1.2] Battlefield Intelligence -------------------------------- Narrow map with rocky terrain narrowing movements to ravine passages. Large flat areas for construction are limited. * Starting city of Esna is in NW corner protected mostly by ridges and trees. Resources are all present and accessible. * Abydos shares the NE border of the starting territory they remained friendly/neutral throughout the scenario. * The Black Sun Bandits have some forces in small groups in the passages betwen Esna and Dumyat, but no city centers or military production. Their stronghold is in the SE corner, protected with palisades and a ridege with a narrow slope to access. * Key CPs: #1 Gap in SE corner of Esna just South of eastern barracks #2 NE of Dumyat just over ridge with stone and gold resources [3.1.3] Course of Actions ------------------------- 1. Reorganize the resource gathering and set up some Tech Point gathering. Need heavier emphasis on wood, stone, and gold than normal. Stone is actually in Abydos North of Esna's city center, but a warehouse can be built on the ridge next to it. Gold is a little difficult to see behind the trees NE of the city center. Build temple and garrison a 2nd priest. 2. Build a few defenses at CP#1, setting the rally points of the military production buildings to be just behind. 3. The initial military units with Kemsa can head south, moving slowly to take out the small pockets of bandits one at a time. Initial unique elephants should be sent along to assist. 4. The initial army push on to liberate Dumyat using Kemsa's rally power after getting past the fortress before fighting cavalry near CP#2. 5. Upgrade units when possible. 6. Claim the territory just South of Esna. 7. New military units will create 2nd army with artillery, elephants and infantry, assembling to defend at CP#1. 8. The new citizens in Dumyat can be put to work gathering more wood, stone, and gold to build the 2 Wonders (approximately 3000 wood, 3000 stone and 2000 gold will be needed). Build a city center in Dumyat next to the fortress build defenses at CP#2. 9. The Kemsa's army can head North from CP#2 via western most passage to discover the market and pay the requested tribute (700 gold) to gain the Tech. Send the army back to Esna after leaving a detachment of 15-20 to defend CP#2. 10. During battles try and gain heroes in artillery, elephants and ranged infantry to assist in later scenarios. building more of those units to increase their kills. 11. With heavy artillery support attack the bandit towers and gate just SE of CP#1 and push up the slope to destroy the outpost and barracks. 12. Start building the Wonders as the resources are available, using the market to make up for shortfalls. The Imperial Leader will speed the foundation along significantly before the citizens actually start building. 13. Build city center in territory East of Esna and another in the territory North of Dumyat. 14. Advance to Epoch 3 when ready and upgrade units again. 15. Invade the bandits with entire army by heading towards the SE corner and destroy all their buildings. The slope accessing the flat area of their territory is almost due East from the market NE of Dumyat. 16. Finish building the 2nd Wonder after bandits are eliminated.

Finland has a longer border between Karelen and Russia. * Both Finnish territories are North of Russia. Tavastland has no fixed defenses at the start, but there are 2 docks, 1 on the near side not far NW from the Russian navy's starting position. The 2nd dock is on the far side. * The unclaimed territory, White Sea Coast, North of Karelen has gold and 2 narrow CPs with Sweden. * Sweden's territories are in the NW with a fortress protecting the border with Finland. There are 4 docks and many coastal defenses spaced along the extensive coastline. There is a large starting navy. * Key CPs: #1: Finnish border with Russia #2: Narrow border with Sweden on the North side of Tavastland. #3: Southern gap border of White Seas Coast with Sweden #4: (Naval) Narrow gap between Russian and Finish coastlines off the SW corner of Tavastland [4.3.3] Course of Actions ------------------------- 1. Reorganize resource gathering efforts to balance resources and increase the number of citizens. Garrison the university and temple to gather Tech Points. No gold can be gathered at the beginning, need to send trade units to the French in Prussia. More gold will be awarded from French later. 2. Move initial military units to cover CP#1. Cavalry should be grouped separately and can hunt down the few enemy that run past the army. 3. Use initial navy to take out the closest dock in southern Tavastland. Take out defenses around the Finnish coast and take out the 2nd dock. Heal up ships in dock as necessary but don't build more units initially. 4. Increase army to prepare for invasion. Need to build max houses to boost Pop Cap. 5. Take out Finnish fortress and outposts in Karelen. 6. Upgrade military units when resources are available. 7. Use small navy to patrol Finnish coast and explore the coast of Sweden. 8. Finish razing Karelen and Tavastland and rebuild the city centers in more convenient locations. Wait before completing the 2nd one until ready to go to war with Sweden. 9. At Pop Cap of 250, stop training army units and switch to navy. Build a few more docks in southern Tavastland. 10. Claim White Sea Coast to gain access to gold. 11. Build defenses at CP#2 and CP#3. Northern gap border with Sweden from the White Seas Coast can be walled off. Position army to defend CP#2. Position navy to begin destroying Sweden's navy in pieces. 12. Claim last Finnish territory to start war with Sweden. 13. Use crowns to support navy and defeat Swedish navy quickly. Ravage their coastline and destroy the 4 docks. Once naval superiority is assured, stop building naval units for reinforcements. 14. Invade Sweden from Tavastland. When navy is available support invasion with coastal bombardment along Gallivare. Raze everything in Gallivare. Rebuild city center to heal army and commence building army reinforcements. 15. Push invasion into Sundsvall and claim territory. Sweden will surrender. [4.4] Scorched Earth ==================== [4.4.1] Objectives ------------------ Primary: Bleed the French, cause 500+ casualties Cut the French Supply Lines Secondary: Defend Moscow Earn Flags Cossasks [4.4.2] Battlefield Intelligence -------------------------------- Large wide map with many CPs due to forests, mountains, and bridges over rivers. * Russia owns almost entire map initially, with French owning West Kovno across the river taking up the western edge of the map. * Key CPs; bridges accessing West Kovno. #1 Gap between trees and mountain on the SW border of Poltsk #2 Bridge from Borisov to Mogilev #3 Northern bridge access to West Kovno #4 Southern bridge access to West Kovno * Other CPs: - Road heading West to East just south of Smolensk city center - Bridge from Mogilev to Krasnoi - Gap between mountains NW of Gorki - Gap on road South from Moscow between ridge and trees - Gap between ridge and trees with road heading West from Moscow - Bridge separating West and East Borodino [4.4.3] Course of Actions ------------------------- 1. Reorganize resource gathering efforts to balance resources. Build some more citizens. Fill the two universities. Assign 2 building teams of 6 from the citizens in the West, abandoning the resource gathering efforts near the French. 2. Use the 2 teams to build defenses at CP#1 and CP#2 for initial lines of defense, abandoning East Kovna and Borisov. 1st fortress at CP#1 and 2nd at CP#2. Follow-up with outposts at CP#1 as resources allow. 3. Send initial military units to defend CP#1. A detachment should defend CP#2. Increase army and set rally points to CP#1 to support main army. 4. Close off CP#2 with palisades. Partially block CP#1 with Palisades and block gaps in trees West and NW of Polotsk to prevent flanking. Leave road open to create a kill zone. Can enclose some space from East Kovna to build outposts and a fortress just across the border NW of CP#1. After initial push by French they consolidate and build up in their new territories. Some quick raiding can lure smaller amounts of units into the kill zone. Maximize defenses at CP#1. 5. Use cavalry group to chase down French that make it through the kill zone in the early stages. 6. Before reaching the Pop Cap build 6 spies to sabotage the French command tent in West Kovna before many outposts can be built. 7. Win the crowns and then empty universities to fill the resource gathering shortfalls. 8. Upgrade units when resources allow. 9. To gain flags keep counter-attacking the french with the appropriate units to allow continued training when Pop Cap is reached. Conscripts will continue to arrive so they can be sacrificed as well. 10. When winter hits begin counter invasion to reclaim East Kovna and Borisov. 11. Invade East Kovna from North end and swinging South along river. Block off bridges with defenses. Raze city center and rebuild it in a more convenient location heal main army when covering CP#3. 12. Continue South in to Borisov as well and rebuild city center near border with East Kovna allowing healing of the army when covering CP#4. 13. Build defenses to cover CP#3 and CP#4 if still waiting to obtain flags. 14. Invade across southern bridge to take out defenses to clear way for spies to sabotage command tent if not completed yet. 15. Continue invasion across both bridges with 2 pronged assault, splitting army into two groups.

Bohemia also has open border with Italy to the West. Moravia and Austria have a fairly open border but are blocked into the SE corner. * Saxony has two approaches into Brandenburg to the North and both territories are protected by the 2nd waterway to the West. There is a narrow CP to the SW into Tyrol. Brandenburg also separates the water along the North edge of the map. * Tyrol has a fortress to protect the CP with Saxony. Has narrow CPs North inot Schleswig and South to Italy. Fairly open borber with Lorraine. * Lorraine has fairly open border with Schleswig, and 3rd waterway to the West. There are narrow CPs to Paris in SW and Italy in the SE. * Paris is walled with towers and 2 sets of walls. It also has many outposts and two fortresses. Amsterdam covers the North borber outside the wall. * Key CPs: #1: Gap between mountain and waterway in SE Saxony on border with Bohemia and Moravia. #2: Western border of Bohemia with Italy #3: Gap in SW Saxony to Tyrol #4: Gaps in mountains leading from Tyrol into Lorraine #5: Gap leading South from Tyrol into Italy #6: SW corner of Lorraine leading to Paris [4.5.3] Course of Actions ------------------------- 1. Resource gathering is balanced, but light. University already garrisoned. 2. Split initial military into 2 groups to invade immediately. Small army of 25-30 with light artillery support invades West Prussia. Larger army with heavy artillery support invades Silesia. 3. Capture Silesia. Raze West Prussia, sending heavy artillery to assist during capturing of Silesia's city center. 4. Upgrade military units. 5. Build houses in Silesia and new city center in West Prussia to claim. Put outposts along waterway to discourage bridge building to flank CP#1. 6. Build temple near Warsaw's university and garrison. Build more citizens as soon as Pop Cap is increased. 7. After capture of Silesia and razing of West Prussia, combine armies and invade into NW Moravia and push to cover CP into Saxony, eliminate fortress and capture Bohemia. 8. Build fortress in NW Moravia to cover CP#1. Build fortresses in Bohemia, one to cover CP#1 and 2nd to eastern approach to CP#2. Increases defenses to cover both areas. France will counter-attack through Italy and may try to build bridges into Silesia or West Prussia to by-pass CP#1. 9. Tribute West Prussia to Frederick after claiming Bohemia. 10. Maximize army, setting rally points to cover defenses at CP#1. Build more barrracks to speed along reinforcements. 11. Invade down to Austria. Raze Moravia and capture Austria. Tributing Austria to Francis II will create an Alliance. No need to rebuild Moravia's City Center this will keep the fortress and barracks built under Russian control. 12. Push for Imperial Crown first to gain the Imperial leader to speed Tech Point gathering in Warsaw. Then push for Military Crown to make Alexander a supreme strategist. 13. Use small army detachment to cover defenses at CP#2. 14. Invade into Saxony with main army. Raze city center and push invasion into Brandenburg and capture. Rebuild city center and tribute both to Frederick and create 2nd alliance. Build some defenses at CP#3. 15. Advance to Epoch 10 and upgrade cavalry and heavy artillery. Shift citizens from iron to oil in Warsaw. 16. Build medics to help heal army during invasions. 17. Invade into Tyrol and capture, tributing to Austria. Build some defenses to cover CP#4 and CP#5 against counter-attacks. 18. Sweep into Lorraine and raze. Rebuild city center to cover army as it defends CP#6 and then build defenses. Tribute Bohemia to Austria. 19. Between French counter-attacks invade North and raze Schleswig, leave allies to claim. 20. Let Prussia and Austria attack Paris through CP#6 and follow in to assist, but preserve army and take care of Alexander. 21. May be easier to build bridge from NW corner of Schleswig to Amsterdam and raze it. Army can spread out more and knock down Paris defenses without getting chewed up. 22. Once fortresses are destroyed, Paris can be finished off. Napoleon will likely get killed long before invasion is complete. *********************************************************************** * * * [5.0] MAASAI CAMPAIGN * * * *********************************************************************** [5.1] Rite of Passage ===================== [5.1.1] Objectives ------------------ Primary: Investigate the Lions Defend Magadi Figure out why Burkeneji are attacking Eliminate Globo Corp's security forces [5.1.2] Battlefield Intelligence -------------------------------- Small square map with mountains and water to section it off into quadrants.

[5.5] African Freedom ===================== [5.5.1] Objectives ------------------ Primary: Claim Nairobi Remove Globo Corp's Influence in Kenya Secondary: Free the Sanbura Protect the Kwafi Protect the Kalenjin [5.5.2] Battlefield Intelligence -------------------------------- Large map combining the previous 2 scenarios. Road already connects the NE corner area to allied territories in the West. * Nairobi is enclosed with plasma walls and many towers providing heavy defense, many outposts and SAM defenses are just inside the gates as well. Globo Corp has an inner compound with 2 fortresses in the central southern area. To the East, Embu is initially Burkeneji controlled but without buildings. * Globo Corp is also in the SE corner and they have an electric fence to protect Malindi. * Namanga is walled in with an electric fence and a gate to allow Burkeneji to enter from the eastern side. It is protected with some defenses and military production. It is also under protection of the towers along Nairobi's western wall. * Key CPs: #1: Wajir gap on border with Garsen #2: Gap in West Kitui and East of brdige to Garsen #3: Gap between trees and ridge in Meru with uranium deposit #4: Area North of gate in NE Namanga [5.5.3] Course of Actions ------------------------- 1. Reorganize resource gathering efforts and build more citizens to balance resources. No Tech Points can be gathered, but are awarded from Lasitech and Epoch 15 can be reached. 2. Organize initial military units and set rally points and start training reinforcements. Londiam's military units defend CP#4. Initially armor units defend CP#3 and new helo quick reaction force assembles there as well. Small infantry army with SAM support pushes to CP#2 to cover and defend. Main army with the heavy artillery assmeble at CP#1. Can build a 4th small army to defend CP#3 once armor is destroyed. 3. Initial military operations are a small Burkeneji force goes into CP#3 and the Kwafi army attacks the NE gate of Namanga. 4. Use 2-3 build teams to claim territories and build defenses at CPs#2-4. 5. Use air force in the East. Tactical bombers can prevent enemy build up in Embu and use of the resources. The strategic bombers can make surgical strikes on defenses. A few more planes are need to replace losses and make the strikes more effective. 6. Send a citizen to build an oil derrick in NE Isiolo and the garrison to increase oil gathering. 7. Build city center just NW of gold in Kitui and set a few more citizen to increase gold collection. Follow up with a few SAMs and defenses out of range of Nairobi towers. 8. Build city center near Behrinium deposit in Nakuru and defenses North of Namanga and along Kericho border. 9. Claim Meru with a city center NE of CP#3, but close as possible to help heal defensive force. Follow up with defenses. 10. Strategic bombers carefully take down SAM defense in Garsen, healing the bombers after each run. Follow up destruction of fortress and outposts as well. Once nuclear bombers are available replace bomber losses with them instead, only 3 will be needed to successfully continue surgical strikes. 11. Build extractors on Behrinium deposits in Nakuru, Meru, and Kitui. 12. Move main army across border to help cover again Globo Corp counter-attack across bridge into Kitui. 13. Upgrade units when possible. 14. Gain supreme strategist and make it the new Military Leader and attach to main army. 15. Once defenses are reduced in Garsen, follow with main army to destroy buildings. 16. Heal up and reinforce, positioning main army North of gate to Malindi, but just out of range. Rebuild the city center in the vicinity to heal. 17. Send Military leader and 30-40% of main army to join with the defensive force at CP#4 to create the western army with heavy artillery support to invade Namaga. Free Sanbura and pull back to CP#4. 18. Heavy artillery can take out ground defenses of Malindi from outside, while eastern army destroys any counter-attacks that come out of the gate. Take out the gate and destroy all the Globo Corp buildings when ready. 19. Use nuclear bombers to slowly take out SAM defenses in Nairobi, using approach and exit routes to ensure bombers survive to heal at the airport. 20. Continue expanding defenses at CP#3 and CP#4 and extend defenses towards each other and include some SAM sites. 21. Push eastern army into Embu and build city center. A few other defenses out of range of the towers in Nairobi can assist against counter-attacks. 22. Once HERCs are avaiable build some production buildings to build them to replace infantry losses. 23. Advance to Epoch 15 and then upgrade units again. 24. If fighters are a problem for nuclear bombers, take out the airports in SE Nairobi. 25. Once SAMs are destroyed the helo group can assist by hitting the towers on the perimeter and retreating when Burkeneji try to counter-attack. 26. Once ICBMs are available nuclear strikes can take down remaining defenses to allow simultaneous invasion of Nairobi from both sides without much resistance. *********************************************************************** * * * [6.0] FINAL THOUGHTS * * * *********************************************************************** I personally enjoy playing the campaigns in games like EE2 more than the skirmishes or multi-player. I made this guide and walk-through while completing my first and only run through on moderate difficulty. I did however restart most scenarios after a trial start to get feel for the courses of action I wanted to take from the beginning and eliminate the wasted actions I made. I tried the turning point scenarios and was able to win the first one, Rorke's Drift form the British side. But I had no chance in winning from the Zulu side. I tried three times without coming close and decided the effort to figure out a creative method was not worth my time. After that I did not even bother with The Battle of Kursk. If anyone actually uses this guide and has some updated ideas or constructive improvements I don't mind if you email them to my address at the top of the guide. Please include EE2 in the subject line. *********************************************************************** * * * [7.0] VERSION HISTORY * * * *********************************************************************** Version 1.0 - Initial Version *********************************************************************** * * * [7.0] CREDITS * * * *********************************************************************** Sierra and Mad Doc Software for the Game itself.
