Empire Earth II which added text string to the firewall warning dialog telling user to map port 26000, and fixed the multiplayer lobby lag issue.

It also includes three of the nine multiplayer modes: Conquest, King of the Hill, and Territory Control, and an updated version of the single-player-only
