I. Getting Started
So You Want to Conquer the World?
Thank you for purchasing Empire Earth
®
III. This brief guide will provide you
with the basic information you need to play the game and lead your civilization to
dominance and glory.
Installation
To install Empire Earth III, place the Empire Earth III DVD-ROM into your DVD-
ROM drive. The auto-run program should start automatically.
If the DVD does not launch automatically, double-click the “My Computer” icon on
your desktop, then double-click on the icon that represents your DVD-ROM drive,
and finally double-click on “EE3AutoRun.exe” to run the EE3 installation program.
Next, click the “Install” button to commence installation. Follow the directions on the
screen to complete the installation process.
NOTE: Before running Empire Earth III, it is highly recommended that you have
the latest drivers for your video card, audio card, and other relevant devices installed
on your computer. Drivers can usually be downloaded from the manufacturer’s
web site. It is also recommended that your operating system has the latest
patches installed.
Enter CD Key
You will be asked to enter the unique CD Key included with your game. Protect your
CD Key—do not give it to anyone else or allow anyone else to use it. Put the game
case in a safe, secure place; the DVD-ROM and CD Key will be required if you need
to reinstall the game.
Launching EE3
After installation, launch the game. When you launch EE3, you will be presented
with the Main Screen, where you can choose the game type to play and adjust game
options. Via the Tools menu, you can view a recorded game, view game credits,
access the map editor, and set up user profiles. You can also create a civilization.
Before you start playing Empire Earth III, you must select which type of game you
would like to play.
Game Types
There are two types of games in Empire Earth III: Single player and Multiplayer.
Single Player
There are three ways to play a Single Player Game:
Tutorial—The tutorials teach the basics of the game, from movement to combat to
harvesting resources. Even if you have played the other games in the Empire Earth
series, we highly recommend that you play the tutorials, as much has changed in
Empire Earth III.
World Domination Game—World Domination mode is Empire Earth III’s exciting
Single Player campaign game. Conquer the globe as you take on other civilizations
and native tribes within a realistic 3D map of Earth.
Main Campaign—Choose your region and difficulty level, and dive right in.
The number and types of opponents are preset. This is the fastest way to get a
World Domination game going, and is recommended for first-time players. Don’t
forget to play the tutorials!
Play Custom Game—This option allows you to choose your region, the
number and type of opponents you face, difficulty level, and much more. Custom
games allow you to fine tune the game to get it “just right” for you.
Skirmish—Play on a single map against one or more computer opponents. This
option features full customization options: set the number and type of opponents,
assign teams, choose your map, and much more. This is the perfect option for
players seeking a quick, unique experience that is tailor-made to their style of play
(see “Multiplayer” for a full list of options).
Multiplayer
You can play multiplayer games over the Internet through Gamespy.com, or via a
LAN/Direct connection. In Multiplayer games, you can play with or against up to
seven other players. Each play can choose their own civilization and handicap. You
can join a game hosted by someone else, or host your own game. If you choose
to host your own game, you will select all of the following options (this list is also
applicable to the “Skirmish” games):
