Empire Earth 3 Interview with Senior Producer Jeff Buccellato

Recently I had the chance to ask some questions about Empire Earth III to the games Senior Producer Jeff Buccellato. Jeff was very gracious in taking the time to answer all of our questions about what is shaping up to be one of the biggest titles of 07 as well as a must have for fans of Real Time Strategy games and the Empire Earth Series. I would like to thank Jeff for taking the time from his busy schedule to answer the questions.

GVK:What is the background and setting for the game and how much continuity is there from the last game in the series?


The Empire Earth franchise from Sierra Entertainment has always been about commanding the entire span of history and beyond. With Empire Earth 3, we've moved forward to actually put in the "Earth" in "Empire Earth". With a detailed globe of the world to conquer in a seamless and continuous experience, removing the concept of scenarios and campaigns found in other RTS titles, Empire Earth 3 will continue to give players command of empires and expand them as they see fit and now let you keep everything from the resources they collect, the wealth they generate, what they've build up, and all the spoils of war in a fully persistent world.

GVK: What are some of the unit types players will use and are there mega weapons?


Empire Earth 3 maintains the familiar unit types found in its predecessors with infantry, cavalry, naval, mortar, siege, spies, heroes, priests (a soft spot for these as I love converting opponents' units and throwing them back at them), etc.
