Epochs are the ages a player passes through in Empire Earth. Each of these epochs represents an age within history. In Empire Earth, the last two ages (Digital and Nano Ages) are set into the moderate future. In the Art of Conquest, a third future age, the Space Age, is available. It deals with space colonization. Each epoch brings new technologies and units. Epoch advancement requires additional buildings to be built and the costs of advancing increases as more epochs are attained, although the ability to gather the required resources greatly increases as well. With new epochs, some new units are available at the cost of having to abandon the ability to produce old units, though any old units still alive are kept. The epochs in Empire Earth are the Prehistoric Age, the Stone Age, the Copper Age, the Bronze age, the Dark Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Imperial age, the Industrial age, the Atomic World War I age, the Atomic World War II Age, the Atomic Modern Age, the Digital Age and the Nano Age. An extra epoch, the Space Age, is available in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest. Read less

I have had my share of gaming this through the learning and part of greek campaign but that's just about the amount of enjoyment I could get out of before watching the rest on Youtube. The game's UI design and graphics haven't aged well to maintain the immersion of a strategy game, but I suppose it stood fairly for what could be put together right after Age of Empires II came out and new strides in technology were to try out. With that said, the background in the campaign are still engaging for a history geek like me, so the backlog will keep it around so I can watch the evolution going.

Empire Earth is a 2001 Real Time Strategy game rendered in 3D, with colourful graphics and lots of personality. Clearly inspired by Age of Empires and Civilization it doesn't break any new ground, but what it does it does well. Custom play is where it’s at. While your enemy is harvesting corn with donkeys you can roll up in your heavily armed vehicles and airships and blast them back past the stone age. It’s pretty ridiculous and awesome. Servers obviously shut down years ago but the campaign, or epochs, offers a lot of variety, even if a lot more linear. Covering 500,000 years it’s like a historical sand box, leaving massive room for options and replayability. This is a classic!
