Product Description
Product Description
The creator and lead designer of Age of Empires has conceived Empire Earth as the premier historical real--time strategy title, offering players the freedom to customize both the historical scope of their games and the character of their civilizations. Improving upon the Age of Empires interface, Empire Earth promises to be as accessible as Age, but with far more excitement and depth.
In Empire Earth, you'll command history's best--known civilizations, such as those of the Greeks, English, French, and Germans, or evolve your own as you choose from more than 100 unique attributes. You'll colonize or conquer surrounding territories and establish new settlements; plan and build walled towns and city--states; and construct temples and hospitals to protect and enhance your growing empire. Your town centers inspire defenders to fight harder, and can be transformed into powerful capitals. Wood, coal, oil, and other natural resources provide raw materials for expansion. More than a dozen technology tracks offer numerous opportunities for further advancement.
Train more than 200 types of combat units from every era in history, including the future on earth. Instantly improve the combat abilities of your troops with specific upgrades. Lead your armies to glorious victory with the help of Charlemagne, Churchill, and other great heroes from not only yesterday but also today and tomorrow. Fight in good weather during the day on an open plain, or carry out surprise assaults in the black of night or the dead of winter. Attack unsuspecting enemies with stealthy submarines and aircraft. Soften up an enemy position with artillery fire, carpet--bombing, or offshore shelling, or launch ballistic missiles. Wage epic sky battles with more than 30 types of aircraft, such as Sopwith Camels, Spitfires, F--15s, Apache gunships, and B--2 bombers. Fight massive naval engagements with more than 40 different ships, from 16th--century ships of the line to modern aircraft carriers. Board and capture enemy vessels. Train colossal and intelligent mechs to fight the battles of the future.
In Empire Earth, the military option is just one possible path to victory. Surreptitiously convert an enemy's citizens with furtive priests. Instruct a prophet to invoke devastating calamities, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and plagues. Pick away at opponents' populations by taking over their citizens. Construct wonders of the world that endow your civilization with special abilities while demonstrating its superiority.

Empire Earth is a good attempt to recreate the military advancement of History's civilisations. It takes us from the stone ages through the Bronze, Iron, Renaissance, 19th Century, both World Wars, and then on to Modern and even into the future all in 'Age of Empires' type play. At first sight the game is eye boggoling- so much to do so little time. Unfortunately this effect does rather wear off...after four or five hours, by which time you will only have reached the Renaissance Period, and while each Era does bring with it many interesting units- Roman Legionaries, Elephants, Marines, Stealth Bombers and the like- there is a lack of diversity in the units you can create, as for the main you get two or three infantry units per age- with the same amount of Cavalry. The later ages (from about WW1 onwards) do branch out more, and the arrival of Tanks, Aircraft, Submarines, and Machine guns is much welcomed- but the underlying flaw in the game is simply that if you were to play a standard battle with one opponent on 'Normal' to actually reach the Nano Age (the last of the Game's Periods) it would take between 6-8 hours. Don't get me wrong, it's great the first time you play, but soon you relise that there are better games that don't take so long to finish.
That said the Scenarios, or Campaigns are quite good, and of reasonable length- if you only get the game to play the Scenarios it'd be worth it.

Empire Earth 1 has to be one of the worlds best Strategy games released and i Would recommend it to any Strategy Game fan. It is extremely accurate to Historic Dates, the Research for the different Epochs is Spot on and the graphics make you feel as if you are one of the citizens. Overall this is a Great game and even better when it is played online
I cant wait for Empire Earth 2!!

Good game but Old
This is a very good game and i have spent many hours playing this online, but it is a bit dated and might be worth waiting for empire earth 2 to come out sometime in feb 2005.
