Review of Empires: Dawn of the Modern World powered by the Slant community.
Released in 2003, this game feels similar to Age of Empires but spans from medieval age through to world war 2 which includes an interesting implementation of aircraft for both combat and transport (parachuting).

Pros
Pro Great gameplay and solid LAN support
Works well over LAN giving you the option to join by typing in the IP, which is nice for when the game session annoyingly does not show up in the list. Overall great gameplay and you can transition to a different Civilization when you age up to the World War 1 era.
Cons
Con Unavailable
Unfortunately, it is hard to get a copy of this game, no paid digital service has it. Second-hand CD copies can be found on amazon.
