Vivendi Universal Publishing games division studio Sierra Ent. Inc. announced that it is banding with Intel Corporation and iGames to co-sponsor a worldwide Empire Earth tournament this September.
The Empire Earth World Championships will begin with regional competitions held in more than a dozen different countries across the globe, culminating in a championship tournament in Munich, Germany in October. There, the best of the best Empire Earth combatants will go head-to-head for the Grand Prize of $20,000 and a chance to increase that amount to $100,000. The tournament will highlight Siera Ent.’s upcoming expansion pack to the real-time strategy game, Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest.
Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest includes three new single-player campaigns set in ancient Rome, the Pacific Theater of World War II and Asia in the 22nd century. Players vie to become the greatest conqueror of all time by creating, building and leading a civilization to transcend the ages — from the discovery of fire to flight to the next frontier… space.
