Empire Earth is a real-time strategy game developed by Stainless Steel Studios and published by Sierra Entertainment in 2001 for PC. The game was designed by Rick Goodman, the legendary designer behind Age of Empires, who brought his expertise in historical strategy gaming to create an ambitious civilization-spanning epic that covers human history from cavemen to robots.
The game's most distinctive feature is its unprecedented scope, spanning 14 different epochs from the Copper Age to the futuristic Nano Age. Each era introduces new technologies, units, and buildings, creating a sense of genuine historical progression as your civilization evolves from stone-wielding primitives to laser-armed futuristic soldiers. This temporal breadth sets Empire Earth apart from contemporaries like Age of Empires II or Command & Conquer, offering a uniquely comprehensive view of human technological development.
