About the Game

With dozens of hours of gameplay set across a rich tapestry of time, Empire Earth: Gold Edition offers real-time strategy for the ages. Choose any point in time - from the discovery of fire to the laser battles of the far-flung future - and command your civilization with one goal: make Earth your Empire.

An Epic Conquest Spanning 5000 Years

Advance a fledgling civilization through the course of history, as you build an empire capable of dominating the Earth. From humble beginnings you must carefully use natural resources if you want to prosper. As you progress through time you’ll uncover new technologies, buildings and weapons - but be warned, advancement doesn’t necessarily mean success! Your civilization might flourish in one epoch only to become history in the next.

Empire Earth: Gold Edition includes

  • The original Empire Earth

  • The official The Art of Conquest expansion pack

(Multiplayer notice: Because the official multiplayer servers have been taken offline, playing over the Internet is no longer possible.)
