Volcano-Kooky
Read this

These can be cast by the Priest on land, under water atop mountains and in forests. The best place of course is inside your enemy city....
This screen shot is at night and is zoomed all the way out. You can see how large the volcano is if you look at the top right corner, you'll see the Priest.

It was my belief that disasters would take place randomly, making them, well, disasters, whereas this is just a (god summoned) attack. Will earthquakes be summoned by a unit or will they be random?

While I've Been Gone-Kooky
Cool stuff happened while I was away, 11 new screenshtos popped up which I will get up when I get home from work tonight. SSSI went over to E3 (more info coming soon) and Stasio got a shot of a Volcano.

Back-Kooky
Forgot to inform you that I was going away, I went to Carlingford Adventure Centre, we did rock climbing, canoeing, absailing, wind surfing, it was kick ass! Although, I broke my phone, lost a fleece jumper and spent loads of money. Other than that =)

EE University-Kooky
Change all your bookmarks to here. Otherwise it wont load.

Enemy Of The State-Kooky
Watched that last night, it's the best film I've ever seen, apart from the matrix of course, definetly worth a look.

Links-Kooky
Updated the links section, check all the sites out! EE University seems to be having some problems, I'll see if I can get in touch with it's webmaster Park305.

Poll-Kooky
The poll to see what celebrity you would most like to see make a cameo appearance has ended, with Sabrina The Teenage Witch coming out on top, with Jerry Springer coming out a close second and Mr.T in third. He certainly does pity the fool! Nobody voted for Alf, the loveable alien =(

Anyway, the new poll is up, decide whether you want units to be totally accurate or sometimes miss, this adds realism but could also be irritating. Take for example early missiles might miss their targets whereas more advanced missiles would hit all the time.

EE Preview-Kooky
I got this E-Mail from Peter Walczac.

There will be a preview of Empire Earth in the June issue of Computer Gaming World. It might be the cover story. The issue will come out later in May

Can't wait for it to come out.

Heroes-Kooky
EENC has released pics and info on 5 five of the heroes in EE. Check em out here!

The Psycho Released-Kooky
Read this,

Hello,
I believe I've never talked to you so I find your comments to be quite hilarious, because you obviously have a very small penis. Good for you if you registered empireearth.org, I had no intentions to register it, but I think your lying though, because on checking the whois register, it saysit's still available.

Anyway, whatever,
Kooky.

Seemingly I sent this to the guy over at EE Madness. He also says "Kooky crams crap up his ass!!", Hey! That is a medical condition!

Complete Wanker!-Kooky
I got this e-mail from Joffe at EENC:

I would like you to stop this harassment of my site. I don't care if you use bad language or anything else, but stay out of my site. If you have nothing good to say about it, then don't say anything at all.

Hahahahaha! What a sap! It says on his site that he's using IP logging to verify the form, but... a) He isn't, the strat still works. b) If he did use IP's you would be able to vote every time you reconnect if your ISP issues random addresses. Anyway, he's a sap!

Exactly who the fuck is he to care whether I use bad language or not, is he some kind of god sent from above to rule the EE community, I think not, this guy can barely even speak English for fucks sake! Hasn't he ever heard of freedom of speech =) And I'll say whatever I like, that's what freedom of speech is all about, although, I suppose your communist dictator takes care of all your freedom rights for you doesn't he Joffe?

New Site-Kooky
A new site appeared here. I think they may be called EE Universe, however, that's already been claimed here. So I dunno.

Poll Strat-Kooky
Mwahahahaha (prolonged evil laugh). Today, we shall gain our voice, quick to the rebel cave! (rebel version of the bat cave). Read this.

Preview-Kooky
Rumours are flying around of a preview of EE in the June issue of Computer Gaming Magazine. Balshazzar an EE employee has stated that he saw a preview in a mag somewhere, he's not sure however if that's was a draft copy of the mag or not...if you see the article, scan it in and post it up or at least tell us what it says.

Something Big!-Kooky
There'll be something big coming up in about a week here so keep your eyes peeled for small clues.

Sections Sections Sections!-Kooky
I've been working really hard on the units section and it should be out soon, displaying all of the information we know so far on every single unit in the game. Also expect an update with all the new info released soon. Before I forget, I've been helping the guys at K Entertainment out with their unit battler, they've been finalising the units they're going to include in the first release, keep an eye on their site for the official announcement.

SSS Website-Kooky
Stainless Steel Studios have revamped the Main Page of their site, kinda' cool looking.

Forum-Kooky
I was recently asked whether I was going to add a forum to this site, I have decided that I wont because I feel that all questions/discussion should be kept in the same place, more specifically at the Trade Center's Forums.

Hits-Kooky
We had a total of 327 hits last month. Whoop dee fucking doo!

Everything-Kooky
I made it home at last =) A lot has happened since Thursday, a new website has popped up, EE Madness, same old jazz, EENC got their new layout up, pretty plain looking to me but, whatever! EETC also got a new layout up, must say that it looks good.  A whole load of stuff was released, I'll be adding it soon.
