Stainless Steel Reveals New Member

Stainless Steel Studios - founded by Age of Empires' cocreator Rick Goodman - announced today that it has enlisted the services of Stephen "Lobby" Ryan to help the design team create scenarios for Empire Earth, a real-time strategy game. Stephen Ryan has won awards for his work on Age of Empires scenarios, and he took on the role of judge for several scenario-creation competitions for Age of Kings. Ryan stepped down as judge to enter Microsoft's official Charlemagne scenario competition and was barely edged out of the winner's circle.

Empire Earth is a real-time strategy game that spans human history from the neolithic period into the distant future. A release date has not been announced yet.
