Sierra Entertainment today announced that Empire Earth III, the third iteration of the multi-million unit selling real-time strategy (RTS) series, has been approved for manufacturing and is due to ship on November 6th. Developed by Mad Doc Software, Empire Earth III builds upon the success of Empire Earth II and promises to redefine RTS games with a truly global approach to world domination. The pre-order campaign has already kicked-off at select retailers across the US and features three exclusive unlockable units: Machine Mortar (Far East Region, Future Epoch) - a genetically engineered soldier that launches a devastating, area-affect salvo of shells; Persian Mercenary (Middle East Region, Ancient Epoch) - An ambidextrous warrior armed with a pair of lethal blades; Urban Special Forces (West Region, Modern Epoch) – a highly disciplined, well-armed Urban Special Operations soldier. Five new screenshots found their way in our gallery.
