The third installment of the seriesEmpire Earthtakes you back through several different eras of Earth's history, present and future. Beginning in the ancient world, it progresses through the Middle Ages and colonial times to the modern day and future. Each era features different technologies and different units.
But in addition to normal skirmish fights, you can claim world domination. Once you've chosen one of the three available factions (Western Regions, Middle Eastern Regions, and Far Eastern Regions), you begin the game on the globe, which is divided into several dozen provinces. At the beginning of the game, each province is neutral and only inhabited by one or more tribes, so you must defeat those tribes or form a friendly alliance with them.
Once a province is under your control, you must assign it a role. Depending on the role you assign, the province will either produce one of three available resources or be a place where you can recruit new armies. You can then move those armies around the map in turn-based mode. But of course, you are not alone in the world and the tribes are not giving up their territory so easily either.
Each of those battles is fought on the ground in real time in a normal skirmish strategy. You build your base, collect resources, recruit troops and complete the objective on the map.
