Empire Earth among many things, fills the Void between Age Of Empires and Command & Conquer by allowing you to evolve your people from their Caves, right up to the Digital Ages and living in Apartment blocks.
The Similarities between Age Of Empires and Empire Earth are mainly because EE's Mastermind Rick Goodman worked in the leading role for both games, so AOE players will feel right at home, even though Empire Earth is much more complex and deeper than the first few Age Of Empires games.
It incorporates a "hero" system. Heroes can be built at a town centre or capital.
There's two types of hero, Strategist heroes who heal surrounding units and can demoralize enemy units while Warrior heroes give morale to surrounding units and have a greater attack power.
At the start of most games you have the option of creating your own civilization with unique bonuses to certain units, ie 10% build-speed to air units.
Resources
Food: Needed in the entire game to supply your civilization's population. Players can get food by hunting, fishing, farming, and foraging. Food is the most important Resource.
Wood: The second most important resource. It is required for all buildings, most ships and various other units. Players can get wood by cutting trees down. Forests are represented as dark green areas on the mini-map. Each tree contains 500 units of wood.
Gold: Players can get gold by mining it from the ground. Since you can only put a certain number of people to mine it, one extra gold spot can be very useful. Gold appears as a gold dot on the mini-map. Each gold mine hold 300,000 units of gold, and allows up to 6 workers to collect gold at one time.
Stone: Stone is used to create walls, towers and other units or buildings. Players can gather stone by mining it from the ground. It appears as a grey dot on the mini-map. Each stone mine holds 300,000 units of stone, and allows up to 6 workers to collect stone at one time.
Iron: Iron is the fifth resource and usually the rarest one. It is used for creating infantry and in later epochs gunpowder units and tanks. It appears as a pink dot on the mini-map. Each iron mine hold 300,000 units of iron, and allows up to 6 workers to collect iron at one time.
Empire Earth Advances an Epoch when enough time has passed, making the game much longer than similar types of games. With each new Age, you can use new advanced Technologies and build new advanced buildings and units. For example, with the Atomic Ages you can research Atomic Bombs, Atomic Aircraft and all sorts of highly explosive shit, here is a list of all the available Epochs:
The Prehistoric Age.
Empire Earth is a real time strategy game developed by Stainless Steel Studios in which instead of advancing with research, like the Age of Empires series, you age through time.
