yes Sierra is now owned by VU games I think, but it is the same Ian Davis at the helm of this project (same guy that did AOE, AOEII/AOC, and Empire Earth, I believe).

one big diff b/w EE2 and RON is EE has a larger following. I went online to check out RON and there were very few people and the multiplayer interface sucked. But yes EE2 does have some of the best features of RON. EE in my opinion is better than RON. EE2 will likely be much better. I agree that EE is the best RTS yet. AOM is a close second for me. I really don't much like RON but my friends are into it right now so that is what we are playing mostly. That is another reason I can't wait for EE2, so we can stop playing RON.

Yep, I loved the first one, i loved the setting where you cuold set which period to start/end in. I wrote a couple of FAQs for the first one on GameFAQs, the ones by Iced Metal.

I'm looking forward to it, but it probably will not work on my laptop so I'll have to wait until I am done building my desktop which will probably be in a long time.
