dations of Western science. Rome, a persecutor of early Christians, reversed its position
under Emperor Constantine and eventually became known as the Holy Roman Empire. Thus,
victory on the battlefield has not been the only way to achieve greatness.

Your Role in Empire Earth
To succeed in Empire Earth, you and your civilisation must accomplish many things. You
will need to explore your surroundings to find food, wood, iron, and other important natural
resources. Resources are needed to increase your population, construct buildings, and
research new technologies. You also need resources to progress to more advanced historical
periods or “Epochs.”

Food is crucial for increasing your civilisation’s population. Citizens require a one-time
expenditure of food when they are produced. Many military personnel require additional or
different resources; for example, training a Simple Bowman requires wood and gold. Your
civilisation is also capable of producing great heroes, prophets, and other specialized individ-
uals.

uals.
The construction of buildings is vital to the growth of your civilisation as well. Buildings are
where you produce your citizens, train your military, and research new technologies. Some,
like Universities and Hospitals, provide valuable localized benefits to your people. Your
Capital, at the heart of your civilisation, is perhaps the single most important structure you
own. You may also choose to construct amazing Wonders of the World. Besides being a
major accomplishment, Wonders give your civilisation special abilities.

Historically, advances in technology often gave one civilisation an
immediate advantage over its rivals. Your civilisation can
research many different technologies to enhance its capabilities.
For instance, some technologies increase the productivity and
health of your citizens, while others improve your buildings.

Empire Earth is divided into 14 historical Epochs. Your civilisation can
progress from 500,000 BC through the Bronze Age and the Renaissance,
all the way to the Nano Age of the 22nd Century (depending on which
Epochs you choose to play). New technologies, buildings, and weapons
become available as your civilisation progresses through history. But
bear in mind that advancement does not necessarily mean success.
Your civilisation might flourish during one Epoch only to be crushed
in the next.

A civilisation can come to dominate its rivals in many ways. Similarly, you can choose to
play Empire Earth any way you want. There is no “best strategy” or “perfect plan” in a game
as dynamic and rich as history itself.
