Empire EarthWorld of Warships
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Empire Earth leans harder on execution: Epoch-spanning army micro and hero management need consistent attention
Reads7 vs 7
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 5
World of Warships leans harder on variance: Shell dispersion and matchmaker swings
