Starting Empire Earth

A Multiplayer game must have at least two human players in it.  Computer players are option-
al.  Only the host is allowed to start the game.  All players must check their Ready box before
the host can start the game by clicking the Start Game button.

In Random Map games, players have 5 minutes once the game begins to select a civilisation.
This gives players time to check out the map and assess the situation before committing to a
particular civilisation.

At any time during the 5 minutes, you can click the blinking Civilisation Selections button –
either the one over the Mini-map or the one in the upper-left corner of the screen.  The
Choose Civilisation screen will then appear (if the Use Custom Civs option is off) and you
can choose which of the 21 predefined civilisations you want to use.  The list on the left
shows all predefined civs.  When you click on a civilisation, its characteristics or “bonuses”
appear in the right-hand list so you can see what advantages that civilisation offers.  When
you decide on a civ, be sure it’s selected (highlighted) and then click the OK button to return

to the game.  The civ’s bonuses
take effect immediately upon re-
entering the game.

You are reminded to pick a civili-
sation before time runs out.
Once the 5 minutes are up, the
Choose Civilisation screen
appears automatically, giving you
the chance to pick a civilisation.
Players can choose any one of
the civilisations available, even if
another player has chosen the
same civ.

NOTE: In Multiplayer games, the game does not pause when you go to select 
a civilisation.  If you are in the process of selecting a civilisation when time

runs out, you will be allowed to finish your selection.
