Gameplay

Empire Earth is similar to the Age of Empires series in that it is a history-based real-time strategy game. Empire Earth uses 3D graphics instead of sprites like Age of Empires II, the comparable game at the time.^[2] The game itself contains many unique and innovative features, including a well implemented "morale" system, which directly affects individual units statistics. It also incorporates a "hero" system. Heroes can be built at the town centre or capitol. There are two types of heroes, Strategist heroes who heal surrounding units and can demoralize enemy units while Warrior heroes give morale to surrounding units and have a greater attack power. Finally, the player has the option of creating their own civilization with unique bonuses. Empire Earth has a map editor included. This article does not cite any references or sources. ... -1...

Epochs are the ages a player passes through in Empire Earth. Each of these epochs represents an age within history. In Empire Earth, the last two ages (Digital and Nano Ages) are set into the moderate future. In the Art of Conquest, a third future age, the Space Age, is available. It deals with space colonization. Each epoch brings new technologies and units. Epoch advancement requires additional buildings to be built and the costs of advancing increases as more epochs are attained, although the ability to gather the required resources greatly increases as well. With new epochs, some new units are available at the cost of having to abandon the ability to produce old units, though any old units still alive are kept. The epochs in Empire Earth are the Prehistoric Age, the Stone Age, the Copper Age, the Bronze age, the Dark Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Imperial age, the Industrial age, the Atomic World War I age, the Atomic World War II Age, the Atomic Modern Age, the Digital Age and the Nano Age.

Several different units are available in each epoch, each being produced in a different building. Some units such as infantry are available in every epoch and can be created at the Barracks. Other units such as archers are available from the Stone age to the Renaissance and are created at Archery Ranges. Horsemen are available from the Copper Age to the Industrial Age and are created at Stables. Siege weapons are produced at Siege Factories such as catapults, they are available from the Bronze Age to the Dark Ages then are later replaced by the trebuchet in the Middle Ages and ending their use in the Imperial age, when cannons emerged in the Renaissance and are available then on. In the Atomic Age-WW1 epoch some new buildings are made available to the player, such as Airports, Tank Factories and Naval Yards where certain planes, tanks and submarines, etc can be produced. In the Digital age Cyber Factories and Laboratories are available and can produce many types of mechs, which are known as Cybers in Empire Earth.^[9] Infantry of the Royal Irish Rifles during the Battle of the Somme in World War I Infantry or footmen are very highly disciplined and trained soldiers who fight primarily with small arms(rifles), but are trained to use everything from their bare hands to missle systems in order to neutralize...

Like many real-time strategy games, there are technologies available to improve the player's civilization. Technologies to improve farming can be researched at the granary. Health related technologies can be researched at a hospital. Technologies researched at the hospital improve the hit points and attack of your citizens, the speed of your citizens, your hospital healing rate and range, or your population capacity. Education upgrades are found in the university, which can protect units from being converted. Technologies researched at the university will increase your buildings' line-of-sight, your university's range, the hitpoints of your buildings, your dock's/naval yard's healing rate, or decrease tribute cost. Temple upgrades are found in the temple. A series of research projects will increase your prophets: speed, hitpoints and range. The upgrades for the priests are also almost the same, except that they have two extra upgrades which can let them convert other priests and buildings. Temple range, which prevents enemy prophets from casting calamities near a temple, can also be upgraded at the temple. Economic upgrades are found in the town center or capitol. These upgrades will increase your gathering rate for hunting and foraging, wood cutting, gold mining, iron mining or stone mining.^[10]

After the Prehistoric Age, units such as naval units can be built. Shown here are; Galley (left middle), Frigate (lower middle), Battleship (top) and Cruiser (upper middle) which are the main ships until galleys are replaced by submarines in the Modern age. Cruisers are available from the Industrial Age.

Empire Earth has 21 civilizations,^[11] (with two additional ones in The Art of Conquest). Civilizations are predetermined in scenarios , but chosen by the player shortly after the beginning of random map games. Each civilization has several bonuses such as increased speed or decreased cost for a type of unit. Any civilization can be played in any epoch but will only be powerful in ages that use units that it has bonuses for. In scenarios, the player receives "civ points" for completing various tasks. The following are the available civilizations, grouped into their recommended epochs. With the exception of the futuristic Novaya Russia and Rebel Forces, all civilizations in Empire Earth are based upon history. From the Prehistoric to Dark Ages, the civilizations are Ancient Greece, Assyrian Empire, Babylon, Byzantine Rome, Carthage, and the Kingdom of Israel. From the Middle Ages to the Industrial Age Austria, England, Franks, Kingdom of Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Spain are available. From the Atomic Age to Modern times France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, and the United States are playable, and from Digital Age to Space Age China, Novaya Russia, and Rebel Forces are playable. Japan and Korea are added in the Art of Conquest expansion and belong in the "Digital Age to Space Age" group.

Multiplayer consists of Local area network and Internet play. Players log in as a certain name profile, and search for, or create, a game that concerns several other players. The game is a basic war between all sides, unless diplomacy is involved. Advancement within Multiplayer comes about most easily when the player populates town centres. 5 citizens per centre, and one centre per age. Patches of the game are unlikely because the developer of the game Stainless Steel Studios is no longer in operation.^[12][13] LAN redirects here. ...

Campaigns

Like many other real-time strategy games, Empire Earth has single-player campaigns. But unlike some games, each scenario has a story to tell and by playing that scenario, you are actually playing out the story for that scenario. In order to win a campaign, you must play and win all scenarios in order. Apart from the Russian campaign, the mission, "Operation Sealion" in the German campaign, and possibly the first four scenarios in the Greek campaign, all of the battles in the campaigns have actually occurred. Operation Sealion (Unternehmen (Undertaking) Seelöwe in German) was a World War II German plan to invade the United Kingdom. ...

Learning campaign

The first campaign in Empire Earth is the Learning campaign. This campaign is where players are taught how to play Empire Earth. This campaign is available in both the original game and The Art of Conquest. This campaign is not required to be played in order and is divided into two parts. The first part is about the rise of Phoenicia. The second part is about the rise of the Byzantine Empire. Phoenicia (nonstandardly, Phenicia; pronounced [1], Greek: : Phoiníkē, Latin: ) was an ancient civilization centered in the north of ancient Canaan, with its heartland along the coastal regions of modern day Lebanon, Syria and Israel. ...

Greek campaign

The first real campaign focuses on Ancient Greece. The opening five scenarios (of eight scenarios total) focus on the rise of Greece. The story tells of the early Helladic peoples, the Trojan War, the rise of Athens, and the first years of the Peloponnesian War, though with some fictional elements (such as the Trojan horse being given to the Ithacans by the gods). The second part is about the life of Alexander the Great. The sixth scenario is about Alexander crushing the revolt of Thebes and Athens. The following scenario is about the Battle of the Granicus, Battle of Issus and the siege of Tyre. The final scenario is the Battle of Gaugamela, the capture of Babylon and the battle for the Persian Gates, a mountain pass which beyond lies Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of Persia. The campaign ends when Alexander and his army enters Persepolis and Alexander manages to escape an assassination attempt while visiting the tomb of Xerxes I of Persia.

English campaign

The English campaign is about the struggles between England and France for superiority in Europe. The first three scenarios (of eight total) are about William I of England, his victory against the rebellion from the barons with the help of Henry I of France in 1047 , and the Battle of Hastings in 1066 . The next three scenarios take place during the Hundred Years' War between England and France; Edward, the Black Prince and his raids in France are featured in the fourth and fifth scenarios. The sixth scenario is about Henry V of England's story, some parts based on William Shakespeare's play. The first part is the internal unrest of Lollards. Henry V starts the scenario fleeing from London to Oxford, where his units are protected from conversion by Oxford University. After that Lollard churches are required to be destroyed and the capture or death of Sir John Oldcastle in order to end the Lollards. After a cutscene with Henry Chichele, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the second part takes the player to France, where Harfleur must be subdued to gain a foothold. Finally, the Battle of Agincourt takes place. The next two scenarios are led by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, who meets Napoleon I of France in battle. The first scenario deals with the Battle of Roliça and the resulting Convention of Sintra, Battle of Talavera, and driving Napoleon out of Spain. The last scenario in the English campaign is the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon finally meets Wellesley in person. For other uses, see England (disambiguation). ...

German campaign

In the German campaign, the first four scenarios take place during World War I, and feature the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. The player follows Richtofen through his early days of flight and the development of his "Flying Circus." The first mission involves directing Richtofen and his pilot, Count Holck, to safety after their aircraft is shot down over Poland in 1914, but in subsequent missions, Richtofen is a minor character. In the next three missions, the player protects shipments of war materials into Germany, directs German forces at the Battle of Verdun, and directs the Kaiserschlacht at the Battle of the Somme. The second part, consisting of three scenarios, deals with Nazi Germany and the first years of World War II in Europe. The first scenario introduces the Blitzkrieg, in which the player has to conquer Poland, Scandinavia, and France. The next mission deals with the German U-boat and naval blockade of Great Britain and the Battle of Britain, which features the gargantuan German battleship Bismarck. In the final scenario, the never-attempted Operation Sealion, the player leads German forces in an invasion of Great Britain, under the famous Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, ultimately conquering the country and annexing the United Kingdom to the Greater German Reich.

Russian campaign

In the Russian campaign, the player leads Novaya Russia, a restructure of the Russian Federation. The game begins in 2018 , with the player directing the Russian political dissident Grigor Stoyanovich from the city of Voronezh to safety in Volgograd, followed by a seizure of power in the Kremlin and Moscow. The second scenario is about Novaya Russia's conquest of Europe. In the third scenario Grigor must crush a coup in Moscow. He dies at the end of this scenario and is succeeded by a robot called Grigor II. Under Grigor II, Novaya Russia continues its conquest of the world by invading and subjugating China. In the fifth scenario, during an attempted invasion of the United States, the player directs the disillusioned General Sergei Molotov and U.S. agent Molly Ryan as they try to build a time machine to transport them back to the early 21st century and warn the original Grigor of the future. The final scenario takes place at the same time as the first. Molotov's Expedition, using Atomic Modern Age technology, battle against the technologically superior forces (thanks to Grigor II, who arrived earlier despite having left later) of the Ushi Party. At the end of the mission, Molotov or Ryan (it does not matter who; the outcome is the same) informs Grigor of the future atrocities that the machine will commit, and urge him to reconsider his seizure of power. Grigor is too propagandized by the cyber to listen to reason, and the character has no choice but to kill him.

Empire Earth averaged an 82% according to Game Rankings,^[19] and earned GameSpy's 2001 "PC Game of the Year " award.^[20] It was rated 8.5/10 by IGN, who commented "Anyone who's familiar with Age of Empires is going to hit the ground running in Empire Earth. With a few additions and some small changes the economic model and interface is pretty much exactly like that in AoE2."^[21] GameSpot was not as impressed, giving it 7.9/10, saying "Empire Earth is best reserved for hard-core real-time strategy players who won't mind the game's less-than-stellar graphics and sound but will instead relish the ability to relive 14 different epochs of human warfare.".^[2] Game Informer was disappointed and gave it a 6.25/10, saying "Empire Earth couldn't walk the walk like it talked the talk. Although no one patch can fix either of the aforementioned items, the latter will certainly see some type of quick adjustment in the near future."^[22] IGN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...
