A real time strategy game. That allows your 'people' to evolve through the ages. From Pre-Historic age up to Cyber age. People who love WarCraft 2 will probably like this game.
You can play scenarios built into the game, or even more fun start your own LAN game and play with friends, with and against computers of various difficulties. You cut your own wood, gather food, mine stone, gold, and iron using peasents. With every age the voices and sayings of your 'people' change and evolve.
You can build walls. Setup towers and anti-aircraft for defense. You can wage battles on the high seas.
You can choose custom Civs to give your team an advantage at certain tasks of your choosing, be it farming, or archery, you have a certain number of points to purchase these benefits and it makes the game more interesting.
You can configure your game to start and end in whatever era you like. (we usually cut Cyber out and stop at Atomic).
I've been playing this game since it was released and we still find it to be our favorite. A family get together isn't complete without my 3 brothers, my husband and myself enjoying a day long game of Empire Earth.
Not too complex, and very playable.

Sometimes older games can be more addictive then latest photo realistic battle royale.
The game is a standard RTS game where you civilization evolves from prehistoric up to a nano age. The game is quite addictive, since it doesn't use an overly complex set of unit behaviors, and left to them selves most units can handle enemy recon and scout probes.
The game has priests that can convert enemy units (great when you can get an entire battleship to convert and defect), and prophets who can bring on plagues, quakes, fire storms, and such. A boat full of well place prophets can save your butt if the AI team sudden advances to WWII tech while you're still driving around on horses.
The stock maps are kind of bland, but there are hacks for the game that make the maps more random. max sized random island maps are fun.
population and resource management are pretty simple. The Civs don't need infrastructure (homes increase morale, but aren't need for population). No long supply lines, etc.
Being an older game, you can run it with multiple AI enemies, 600+ units and no lag. Only glitch is that game will crash if you task switch or accidentally hit the windows button.
Great Game!

Empire Earth is a great game! It is one of the best games that I have ever played to be quite honest with you. The graphics are the best for the year it was produced in and the game play is very easy to follow unlike Empire Earth 2. Empire Earth 2 is much more difficult to learn. I strongly recommend that you have at least an NVidea Geforce 2 graphics card or equivalent. You will thoroughly enjoy this game, I assure you of it!
The only drawback is that they need to have more military units. Also, the military units are not unique to the civilization except for the special units.
