One of the turning points in The Art of Supremacy deals with Rorke's Drift, a desperate last stand by heavily-outnumbered British troops against thousands of Zulu warriors.

Turning points are set-piece scenarios that you can play from either side, and they represent a pivotal event in history. The two new turning point battles should also present a challenge. Another campaign is set in ancient Egypt, while a third is a futuristic African campaign centered on the Maasai. The first new campaign is set during the Napoleonic Wars, which is a good showcase for both France and Russia. Of course, these new civilizations are put to good use-there are three new campaigns of five missions each, as well as two new turning point battles. Then there's a new African region with two new civilizations, the Zulu and the Maasai, which should help round out the game's scope. Well, it's about to get even bigger in The Art of Supremacy the designers have added two new civilizations to the western region, in the form of France and Russia. As such, Empire Earth II is a massive game. Like its predecessor, Empire Earth II is a real-time strategy game that lets you guide a Stone Age civilization through history, and even a bit into the future.

This expansion packs four new civs, two new gameplay modes, and a ton of improvements.

We had a chance recently to see the expansion in its final stages of development to get a firsthand look at what's in store for Empire Earth II fans early next year. Now nearing completion, The Art of Supremacy will add four new civilizations, two new gameplay modes, and a slew of new features. Shortly after Empire Earth II wrapped up production earlier this year, the developers at Mad Doc Software began work on The Art of Supremacy expansion.
