Empires: Dawn Of The Modern War Wallpapers

As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Rick Goodman, the co-designer of Age of Empires, enjoyed considerable success with that project, and later with Empire Earth. This fall, RTS fans will be treated to another of his historically inspired creations with Empires: Dawn of the Modern Era.

This ambitious game traces the rise and fall of many of Earth's great civilizations in five different ages, including the medieval era, the Renaissance, World War I, and World War II. It features between five and 10 playable civs, including the British, Chinese, Germans, and Koreans. Instead of similar units with different skins and a few stat modifications, each side is unique and has distinctive units like the Korean war ox, which is basically a bovine explosive. (As anti-PETA as it may sound, the war ox is historically accurate.)
