I always wondered how is it.
Its good.. and bad.
The graphics are 3d rendered, which is better than the late 2d traditions of the genre. And, the graphics really aren't that bad, but many of the newer 3d RTS games look better.
The time span is what is most impressive in the game: going from the ancient past with clubmen and stone throwers, all the way into the future with cyber units and such, is phenomenal.
The problems with the game are:
No control customization (bummer for ergonoms like me)
Towers can't aim
formation selection is horrid, without any hotkey functions
some balance tweaking needed
THE SERVES ARE ABYSSMAL!! No moderation of these, and poor functionality. Not even comparable with The Zone.
No game recording
Random map generation is limited
Other small things.
And the biggest problem, that really supercedes all of these problems, is that Sierra/SSSI haven't released a single patch since the release! (only one patch that was released at the same time). There are rumors of more support for the game from certain Sierra reps, but no official statements that I know of.
I think at this point, any updating of EE will happen with the proposed expansion pack.
But the game is still very unique, and if they would just fix some of these shortcomings I mentioned, the game would be accounted amongst the greats!

I like EE. Took me damn near forever to get past the second part of the Russian Campaign.
I know it's not realistic. The West Europeans fought hard in that level!
How did you do it?! I can suppress the rebels (I just send Grigor with some tanks and artillery into their city and take out as much of their air defence as I can, then nuke 'em), but the Allies just won't stop.

Crush the Rebels, sit tight and hope those extra SAM batteries I put up can knock those Nuke Bombers outta the sky, thus buying me some more time.
Remember, as soon as you destroy a European Capital, you get the Rostov JK ( "Command Unit/Grigor2" Cyber).
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
