From Prehistory through the Nano Age, each Epoch is compelling in its own right. In each succeeding Epoch, new units, buildings, and technologies become available. No matter what period of history interests you - or if you are interested in the future - you will find Epochs that appeal to you in Empire Earth.

The Campaign/Scenario Editor allows players to create their own custom maps, scenarios, and full campaigns. You can even create your own movies. It is the same Editor that SSSI is using to create the campaigns that ship with the game. Though powerful, it is simple to use and it comes fully documented. The Editor gives scenario designers unprecedented control over their creations, allowing them to mix together elements from different Epochs and create their own interactive stories via a robust trigger system. It will be the best RTS editor available.

Empire Earth games have a world population limit divided amongst each player. For example, if the world pop limit is set to 800 and there are four players, then each player gets a maximum of 200 units - this is the "pop cap" for each player. However, as players are eliminated, the population limit is redistributed. So if two players of the original four are eliminated, then the remaining two players will each have their pop cap rise to 400.

Historical heroes are an important part of Empire Earth. There are many heroes in the game, from every time period - Alexander the Great, William the Conqueror, Elizabeth I, and Patton, just to name a few. Heroes don't necessarily possess a superior fighting ability, but they are powerful because, by their very presence, they inspire troops to continue fighting beyond their normal limits. An army with a hero leading them into battle will hold an advantage over an identical army without a hero.
