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!
