Civilization
Like other RTS games, Empire Earth allows you to chose a civilization to play with. Civilizations give bonuses to your society in the form of unit or building bonuses. However, they do not limit the technology tree like other RTS games. All units and upgrades are available, no matter what bonuses are in your civilization. In AoC however, some special powers introduce additional units/buildings/technologies if the power is in said civilization.
There are two different types of civilizations: default and custom. Default civilizations are embedded into the game and cannot be changed. In random map games, if custom civilizations are disabled, players must choose from the list of default civilizations. Their specific bonuses are shown on the selection screen. If custom civilizations are enabled, players may build a civilization in real time at the selection screen, or load one that was previously saved in the Civilization Builder.
