Query: Fails to run in single player without internet connection

I was unable to play this game after installing it. Once installed, I launched the game, then selected (single player) campaign from the main menu. My firewall popped up with a message saying Empire Earth was attempting to connect to the internet. The game then locked up. I have a dial-up connection that was not connected at the time. Repeated attempts to run the game caused the game to locked up again at the same point (with no error messages, even with internet connection working).If this game needs to have an ongoing internet connection while playing (single player), it should list that as a requirement so customers don't waste their money on a product like this.If you want to play a good RTS, play either Rise of Nations (historical RTS) or Universe at War (futuristic RTS) instead of this game.
