Empire Earth (Video Game)	comment	A classic military, real-time strategy game from Stainless Steel Studios, Empire Earth was released in 2001 for the PC.Similar to Emsemble Studios' Age of Empires, the player controls a civilization as it advances through "epochs" from the prehistoric era to the "Nano Age", with an additional "Space Age" added in the Art of Conquest expansion. Specific buildings allow the construction of units and the research of improvements. The game employs a complex technology tree, with literally hundreds of land, sea, and air-based units. The goal, outside the preset scenarios, is the military destruction of the opponent or the construction of Wonders (large historical monuments). Users can play against the computer or other players online.The original was very well received, prompting the release of Empire Earth II in 2005, which also did fairly well. The second game changed the formula in favor of territory management and tech points obtained from universities and temples that are used to upgrade your civilization's military, economy and infrastructure to advance to the next epoch. A year later it received an expansion titled Art of Supremacy that includes three new campaigns, two African civilizations and some new skirmish/multiplayer options and modes.Empire Earth III (2007), by contrast, was a commercial flop, and is widely believed to have been the end of the series.A dedicated fanbase lives on.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_1cf45657	type	Rate-Limited Perpetual Resource
Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_1cf45657	comment	Rate-Limited Perpetual Resource: While resource nodes are limited, they contain such large amounts (and can only be harvested by up to six workers) that they're functionally infinite but very slow to accumulate, meaning a player who doesn't expand to other resource nodes will find himself outgunned very quickly. The sequel outright gives them infinite quantities. Averted with forage patches and animals which have intentionally limited resources, as the player is meant to build farms to gain food. The sequel features infinite food nodes, but still expects the player to build farms to supplement their income. All games in the series have ways of increasing the efficiency of resource gathering: In the first game, the amount of resources obtained per worker cycle can be increased by permanently staffing a drop-off building with workers, with a maximum of 50 doubling the amounts of resources dropped off at that building. The sequel makes it a smaller bonus and the workers aren't removed from the headcount. One civilization has the ability to send seven workers per node instead of six. Resource collection rates for individual resources can be increased via upgrades at the central building in the first game, and for basic or special resources via research points in the second. The second game gives Markets and Docks the ability to generate gold through trade units that head to another trade building to drop off their cargo, generating more gold the longer the trade route. However, the speed at which gold is made is limited by the trader's unloading speed (and several upgrades reduce this downtime). Often averted in campaign missions where resources are scarce but can be obtained by trade with another player or by destroying and raiding their buildings. The second game's Market building allows the player to exchange resources for gold, but the exchange rate increases/decreases very swiftly with every purchase/sale. The second game has resources that become obsolete as they progress through Technology Levels: Tin is no longer needed after Saltpeter becomes necessary for firearms in the Renaissance, Iron is no longer needed after Oil becomes a commodity in the Industrial age, and Saltpeter is replaced by Uranium in the modern age. Not only do they still take up space on the map, workers can't harvest them anymore.

The Poseidon cyber uses this on enemy cybers. The Priest Tower civ power gives you a tower that converts incoming enemies (who are unlikely to be near a University). Priests get a serious buff in EE2, since immunity to conversion is no longer a universally-available condition.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_28c502f6	comment	Tactical Rockâ€“Paperâ€“Scissors: EE1: In early epochs, the standard is shock attacks (swords) beat archers, archers beat piercing weapons (spears), pierce beats shock, so the classic matchups occur between infantry, cavalry, and archers depends on which one is holding which weapon (with exceptions and complications like ranged shock and pierce attacks), though it gets more complicated as the epochs go on, becoming extremely convoluted when robots and lasers are introduced. The same applies to warships, frigates, and galleys (later replaced by submarines). EE2 takes it in a different direction (and outright calls it Rock-Paper-Scissors, or RPS for short), dividing troops into infantry, mounted (cavalry/tanks/mechs), and artillery, with each type divided into light and heavy, each effective against two classes of units. Air units are divided into helicopters and planes and the latter into fighters, bombers, fighter-bombers, and anti-tank planes (see Anti-Air above). The sequel removes fighter-bombers and instead has planes that are best against air units (fighters), land/sea units (tactical bombers) and buildings (bombers).

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_420c50b7	comment	A.I. Is a Crapshoot: In the Novaya Russia campaign, AI may not be a crapshoot for Novaya Russia, but from the start, Novaya Russia's advances in robotics prove very disastrous for every other country. It's averted with Grigor II himself, as he never actually diverts from the original directive given to him by the first Grigor, the complete subjugation of the Earth under Novaya Russia. He simply takes it to it's logical conclusion and the results inspire rebellion from within his ranks. The Standard Game mode A.I. from Empire Earth will exclusively focus on building a city of guard towers and anti-air guns, making extremely stressful for players that attempt an ground offensive. The skirmish mode A.I. from Empire Earth II is infamous for heavy cheating. It will add resources and units to the enemy team instantly if you do too well. Winning is almost impossible as the AI will constantly try to Zerg Rush your base with more than 100 units at once, mostly artillery/siege guns, tanks/cavalry and bombers in the later ages.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4	comment	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Computer players don't follow any resource-gathering rules; they just build units at an arbitrarily fast pace. Also computers don't seem to be bothered by Fog of War, since they commonly send bomber planes after your sneaky armies with impunity. They also know where your forces are strong and weak, so attempts to save scum after the loss of a base and send the bulk of your forces to said doomed base will result in the AI switching targets to the other one, even if they have no legitimate way of knowing where your forces are. Computer players also build walls everywhere for some reason (though how stupid this is depends on the terrain: on maps with small chunks of forest it leaves gaping holes in their defenses, on those with long tracts of woodland it makes getting to them a slow and arduous process). In the first Empire Earth, it is actually possible to toggle this off in the Scenario editor, so by saving and re-naming your save game to turn it into a Scenario file, it's possible to disable the cheating AI in both random battles and the campaign.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_79974fb8	comment	Rock Beats Laser: Although AA Missiles are stronger and have a longer firing range, there is a noticeable delay between shooting and hitting the target (and have an annoying tendency to hit your own buildings). AA Guns, on the other hand, hit the target instantly. The very first ship (a war raft that throws rocks at enemies) becomes the Frigate in later epochs. It can still attack submarines with its rocks. All towers can attack subs, even the very first one, but only nuclear-missile subs can fight back. It is profoundly hilarious to see a state-of-the-art nuclear-powered submarine be defeated by cavemen in towers throwing big rocks. For all their hype and inherent badassitude as Humongous Mecha, a small handful of AT guns can make a complete joke out of a numerically superior force of cybers. The only ground cyber that doesn't take increased damage from an AT gun is the Zeus, which instead gets mauled by Howitzers and Paladin cannons, built from the same structure as AT guns. What's more, unlike tanks and cybers, AT guns can be repaired on the fly by a medic, massively increasing their combat endurance. Accidentally the case in EE2, where all Heavy Infantry can hit helicopters but Light Infantry can't. Makes sense when those classes wield machine guns and mortars, less so when they wield swords and bows.

The Art of Conquest: In the final scenario of the Roman Campaign, you are given the choice of completing the mission by siding with either Cleopatra VII or Ptolemy XIV. If you side with Cleopatra, not only will you need to defend Alexandria but the Great Pyramid of Cheops as well as you'll lose if it falls below 50%. A script bug in the scenario allows you to destroy the Great Pyramid by pressing delete without being defeated, removing the need and risk of defending a structure that's outside the safety of Alexandria's walls. The penultimate Russian level has you take over Cuba and build a base there, then Molotov defects to the US, leaving you to face a very powerful army and two bases. However, it's not necessary to eliminate the Cubans entirely, just their Capitol, and it's possible to use a few Ares to take out the Capitol and provide security until you've built the required buildings. And as for the original base, you can delete your own buildings just before the switch if you don't feel like fighting. The third Asian mission requires you to take out heavily fortified island bases, giving you the ability to build missile bases once troops have landed. ... Except the game doesn't care if units landed or just flew over.

Even then it's not entirely crippling: archers and artillery are the only units that can fire over walls, which can protect them from all melee attacks.

The scenario is actually based on Operation Sea Lion, which of course was never carried out in the real World War II. It's possible to kill both Marshal Ney (executed after Waterloo, despite his best efforts to die during the battle) and Napoleon (died in exile six years later) at the battle of Waterloo. The final level of the Roman campaign lets you side with Cleopatra or Ptolemy during the Egyptian civil war. EE2's tutorial has the Aztecs beat back the invading Spanish and survive until at least World War II, at which point they ally with the US against an Axis-aligned fascist Inca nation. The American campaign with the charge of San Juan hill and ends with a Robot War. The Cold War ends when the US steals a Soviet stealth bomber and uses it against the Soviets, embarrassing them into admitting defeat. The Meso-American civilizations (Maya, Inca and Aztec) get units long after they'd been wiped out by Europeans, including cavalry, cannons and crossbowmen, while the modern era gives them mobile missile launchers, artillery and a more effective medic respectively.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_a89efe3c	comment	Unusable Enemy Equipment: Averted in the first game and its expansion, however, since units aren't part of a long class-line like they are in the sequel: if you convert an enemy unit from a later era, it stays that way when you convert it, which can be useful in the campaigns such as converting the one siege weapon that the Trojans have and turning it against them in a level when you otherwise have no access to siege weapons. This can sometimes have amusing results of units that you shouldn't have which are named differently in a campaign level when they're controlled by the enemy have their regular names when you take control of them and it no longer makes sense. This can particularly show up in the first level of the Roman Campaign when your Celtic/Germanic enemies send "Light Spearmen" against you but, if you convert them, they turn into the default unit of "Chinese Infantry". In the sequel, converting an enemy unit or building turns it into to the new owner's equivalent for that era (a modern priest converting an archer or an ancient priest converting a mortar will get a mortar and archer respectively). The only exception are unique units and units that are only available up to/starting from certain eras, such as medics, rams and horsemen/tanks in which case it the unit becomes the lowest/highest tier version available.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_b6baad83	comment	Hero Unit: Heroes come in two types: Warriors, which have stronger attacks and increase unit morale around them, and Strategists, with a weaker attack which they don't use by themselves but an automatic healing ability. EE2 uses a different mechanic: researching four military, economic or imperialistic upgrades gives you a chance to win the corresponding Crown, giving you a leader with a related power (military units are combat-based, economic units boost resource gathering, imperials boost research and landgrabs). Garrisoning the leader in a fortress reduces the power of its passive crown aura but extends it to the entire map. Age of Supremacy added a new type of Hero: When a ground unit or helicopter gets thirty kills, it becomes a hero, which lets it form an army with normal units, giving them bonuses to health and damage (bigger ones for those of its class). It can also be used as a Leader when a crown is won.

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_c515d358	comment	America Saves the Day: Somewhat yes, but mostly no. Novaya Russia in the first game conquers all of Europe and Asia, leaving the United States as the only power able to potentially resist. However, by this point, the United States realizes they don't have a chance of defeating Novaya Russia militarily. Only Molotov's defection with the blueprints for a time machine gives them hope of traveling to the past and preventing it all from happening. However, the United States was not able to prevent Grigor II from capturing the time machine in the present and following Molotov back to the past. Grigor II even points out that the fact he was able to travel to the past at all indicates that Molotov's plan will ultimately fail (as if it succeeded, Grigor II presumably wouldn't exist in the future to travel back in time in the first place). The game ultimately leaves the question of whether Molotov changing the past leads to a better or worse future completely unanswered. In the second game, the US tries to stop a rogue general and his cybernetic experiments from threatening the world 20 Minutes into the Future, just in time for the 300th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

In the fourth level of the same campaign, you are tasked with sending resources to the Mars colony while under constant attack from religious fanatics opposed to mankind leaving Earth.

Best seen on the Arquebus unit, which goes from arqubus to rifle to laser gun while the citizens start by dragging their loads on the ground before using buckets and finally using wheelbarrows to being turned into cyborgs. The humble War Raft (two guys on a raft throwing big rocks at enemies) is the longest-running one, becoming a Frigate and going from rocks to arrows to cannons to lasers. EE2 uses this for every unit except cavalry and tanks: a unit of, say, Heavy Infantry will go from maceman to musketeer to assault rifleman, but if converted by a priest of a different epoch will instantly turn into their new owner's epoch-equivalent. Cavalry and tanks, despite being made by the same building, will remain cavalry and tanks of the highest/lowest type, however.

EE2's AI is prone to Zerg Rush with extra resources, but they never seem to get the importance of having multiple territories (which lets you field more troops, get more resources (especially gold via trade), and most importantly get tech points faster), often gaining new territory one at a time where a human player can grab several territories at once and immediately start teching up. If the map is big enough and with a long ceasefire at the start, it's entirely possible to swamp them with troops five or six epochs ahead (and if aircraft are among those troops...).

The final level of the German campaign has attacks from the French resistance featuring Napoleonic units. The sequel's unique units suffer from this: A unique unit (one every five epochs) starts off better than its equivalent (for example, building a Zero or a Rafale in World War One, or samurai or mangonels in the Stone Age), but is unable to be promoted to Elite until three epochs in. By the time of the fifth epoch, its stats are inferior to the standard unit, and the only reason to build them is because they use different resources (thus using a Zero or a Rafale in an age where planes are entirely automated or attacking from orbit).

Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	type	Artificial Brilliance
Empire Earth (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	comment	One of the patches in the first game introduced a major pathfinding issue where melee units trying to attack an enemy moving in their general direction run away from the target until the last second. This is caused by the new pathfinding algorithm trying to anticipate the target's own movement in an attempt to overtake them rather than chasing them. While sound in theory, this behavior does not take into account situations where the target is moving in the attacker's general direction and thus a direct course would be faster, hence the algorithm overcompensates and sends the attacker running in the completely wrong direction.

The second game splits its civilizations by geographic location: East Asian (Japan, Korea, China), Middle Eastern (Egypt, Turkey, Babylon), African (Maasai, Zulu), Mesoamerican (Maya, Inca, Aztec) and European (England, France, Italy, Germany, Greece... and Russia and the USA). Slightly better in that each civilization's buildings and 3 wonders are appropriate to its location, but the trope is still in play when Russia can build the Parthenon, the Brandenburg Gate and, of all buildings, the Pentagon.

What's more, unlike tanks and cybers, AT guns can be repaired on the fly by a medic, massively increasing their combat endurance.
