Empire Earth is a real-time strategy video game developed by Stainless Steel Studios and released on November 13, 2001.[1] It is the first game in the Empire Earth series.

The game requires players to collect resources to construct buildings, produce citizens, and conquer opposing civilizations.[2][3] Empire Earth spans 500,000 years of human history, which is divided into 14 epochs, beginning with the prehistoric age, and ending with the nano age.[4]

An expansion pack, Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest, was developed by Mad Doc Software and released in 2002. It added new features such as a special power for each civilization, and a new 15th epoch, entitled the Space Age, which focuses on the colonization of space planets.[5]
