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!! |
