Starting Empire Earth

Empire Earth is a flexible game with many ways to play.  Options for both Single and
Multiplayer games are available, including different types of random maps, map sizes,
resource allocations, victory conditions, Epoch choices, and more.  These options allow you
to modify the game to create different gaming experiences, based on your preferences.  This
chapter explains all the game options, game settings, and how to start both Single Player and
Multiplayer games.

After you have installed Empire Earth, there are several ways to launch the game.  Whenever
you put the Empire Earth CD in your CD-ROM drive, a window will appear on your screen
once the CD has been accessed (assuming you have Autoplay enabled).  To launch the game
from this window, just click the Play Empire Earth button.

You can also launch the game by simply double-clicking on the Empire Earth icon on your
desktop.  If you opted during the installation not to have an icon placed on your desktop, you
can always launch the game via the Start menu.  Click the Windows Start button and select
Programs.  In the Programs list, select the Sierra folder, then select the Empire Earth folder,
and finally select Play Empire Earth to launch the game.

Once the game has loaded, the Main Menu appears.  Here you have several choices.

Single Player – Takes you to the Single Player menu, which provides access to all of
Empire Earth’s Single Player options, including the Campaigns and the Learning
Scenarios.

Multiplayer – Brings up the Multiplayer menu, which allows you to join or host games
of Empire Earth with other players over a LAN or the Internet.

NOTE: You must have a working sound card installed in your computer to 
play Empire Earth.  If you do not, Empire Earth may not launch properly.  If

you have a working sound card, a speaker icon (to control sound volume) will be
visible on your Windows taskbar.

NOTE: You must have the Empire Earth CD in your CD-ROM drive to play 
Empire Earth.
