Empire Earth is an empire-building real-time strategy video game developed by Stainless Steel Studios published by Sierra On-Line in November 2001. It had two sequels., Empire Earth II, published in April 2005, and Empire Earth III in November 2007. It also had a sort of spin-off in the game Empires: Dawn of the Modern World, which had the same developers and genre. In principle, the video game is similar to Age of Empires, with the big difference that it offers a range of ages ranging from prehistory to ages of the future.

Empire Earth features numerous new features, such as heroes, various wonders with special functions, and the ability to play from prehistory to the future.

An expansion was developed by Mad Doc Software called Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest, which was released on September 17, 2002, and which added new features to the original game.

Game system

Empire Earth is a real-time strategy video game based on History, in which the player chooses a historical civilization and develops it to expand its territory and fight against enemy towns.

Ages and Civilizations

In Empire Earth the player advances his civilization from age to age. Each of these ages represents an era in History, even the last two ages are set in a science fiction future. Every age brings new technologies and units. As the ages advance, some new units can be obtained, but the possibility of producing old units is abandoned. To lead his civilization to success, the player must collect natural resources: food, wood, gold, iron and stone, to build buildings, research technologies and train soldiers, ships, planes, workers, etc. There are 21 historical civilizations in the game, each of which is characterized by a series of bonuses on certain units and technologies. They are divided into the historical periods marked by the game:

Age	Description	Heroes	Civilizations
Prehistory (500,000 - 50,000 BC)	It's the beginnings of the game. Citizens are troglodytes who barely know how to grow up. There are a very short range of options to develop your civilization. From a previous settlement, you can increase your population to create the basic building: the City Centre. There you can create scout dogs to map the area and citizens to collect resources and build more buildings. From a population above 15 citizens, the City Centre becomes Capitol Hill. The other available buildings are the Quartiles, where they train the bulldozers and rock launchers; and the Temple, which generates priests and prophets.	No.	Ancient Greece Assyrian Empire Babylon Byzantium Cartago Kingdom of Israel
Stone Age (50.000 - 5000 BC)	It covers a period where it is possible to build docks and produce the first vessels (fishing, war or transport). In the barracks the first units of assault arise, the sansones, who are men with trunks capable of effectively attacking the buildings. The lancers also appear there. It is possible to train a new unit (Hondero) from a new building: the Archery Field. The first technological developments for the tools of citizens begin. Citizens have improved clothing.	No.
Age of Copper (5000 - 2000 BC)	The technological advance suffered by this era opens to the possibility of building hospitals, stables, fortresses, barns, universities, etc. Towers can be improved and architecture evolves slightly. It is possible to build Wonders and obtain special qualities when playing with each one of them. The defense is intensified by being able to start erecting protective walls. In the stables you can train riders. Military units experience mild but significant changes: the bulldozers improve pots and fungi to simple archers. In the city center the heroes are born, a warrior unit and another strategic one that can only have one and change their name with age. The "strategic heroes" heal the nearby units and can demoralize the enemy units, but they have a power of under attack while the "hero warriors" encourage the nearby units and have a greater power of attack.	Gilgamesh and Sargon of Acad
Age of Bronze (2000 a. C. - 0)	The visual style of this age resembles Ancient Greece. Citizens dominate the language and speak in perfect Spanish. Assault units can now be built at the assault weapons factory (the catapult and the rim). The boats are significantly improved, although the most primitive units disappear to give way to the Falange and the short swords. Hospitals and universities offer improvements to citizens and buildings.	Hannibal and Alexander the Great
Dark Age (0 - 900)	There are not many differences between this Age and the Bronze Age. The aesthetic corresponds to the Tardoantiquity and the High Middle Ages. Ballesteros are born, units trained in the Archery Field that are of great use.	Julio César and Carlomagno

Rebirth (1500-1600)	Several improvements come out in this age, the technology advances so fast that you can already create archbuceres and carabineros, units that carry the first guns; ships and siege weapons can already shoot with cannons and not with catapults as in the previous ages.	Enrique V and Isabel de Castilla.
Imperial age (1600-1800)	The constructions improve, the towers have cannons to shoot the enemy in the barracks come out the guns and the bombardments in the siege factory, without except that the clothes of the citizens are better. At this age the archers and assault weapons such as the Siege Towers, the Arietes, the Trabucos and the Baltic Falls disappear to give way to the Infantry at a distance and the cannons. At this age is where the gunpowder is already elemental and empires are formed, there are still monarchies, kings, etc. Infantry uses more advanced muskets and more destructive cannons.	Oliver Cromwell and Isabel I.
Industrial Age (1800-1900)	It's not very different from the previous one, but the musketeers evolve into the granaries. In the capital or in the city center it is already possible to create aerostatic balloons, obtaining gold and iron is improved by 15%. In the barracks are the partisan. In the assault weapon factory, the celebrity is improved to Bronze Canyon and the basilisco is improved to Serpentina.
