Released in 2001, Empire Earth is a real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Stainless Games and published by Sierra Entertainment. The game is often considered a spiritual successor to the Age of Empires series, with similar gameplay mechanics and a historical setting that spans from ancient times to the modern age.

The "Citizen" unit also stood out for its versatility. Beyond gathering and building, citizens could be garrisoned in towers for defense or used to construct complex fortifications, making the civilian population a vital strategic asset throughout the game's long timeline. Legacy and Reception
