Empire Earth – Custom Civilizations

by CenturionZ_1

September 6, 2005

In Empire Earth, you can create custom civilizations in the Civilization Builder each with unique civilization bonuses. In most games, you can spend up to a maximum of 100 Civ Points to buy bonuses to improve your civilization. In scenarios and campaigns you earn Civ Points as you progress and their is no limit to how many Civ Points your civilization can have.

Naturally the more useful bonuses (such as improved resource gathering and citizen cost reduction) cost more poinrs than the more specific bonuses (such as improved armor on archers). Also, selecting two bonuses from the same heading (and therefore affecting the same type of unit) incurs an additional multiple bonus cost. This is because improving the attack of ranged infantry given you have already improved their range is much more useful than if you just improve their attack. So every time you select a bonus, the cost of all the remaining bonuses under the same heading increase by the multiple bonus cost. Also, all bonuses are calculated from the units base value.
