Choosing a Civ
When a game of Empire Earth begins, you have 5 minutes to choose which civilisation you
want to control. The blinking crown buttons (Civilisation Selections) are there to remind you
to select a civ. In a normal game, you’ll have enough time to look around a little before you
commit to a particular civ, but for this walkthrough click either blinking button now. In the
list that appears, choose Babylon. The bonuses for the civilisation appear in the left-hand list.
Click OK to confirm your civ selection and return to the game.

INSTRUCTION
To move a Citizen, click (i.e., left-click) on the Citizen and then right-click on the
map where you want the Citizen to go. You move all other types of units in the

down the mouse button, drag a “lasso” around the Citizens (or any units) that you
want to select. Alternatively, you can hold down the Shift key on the keyboard
while clicking on additional Citizens.
