The history of mankind is like a thick book, and war is the punctuation in the dense words in the book. The scale of the war also changed from tribal conflict to feudal hegemony until the two world wars in the 20th century. There are many games describing wars, but few can penetrate these punctuation marks in human history. At this time, we saw the earth empire.
Age of Empires is an eternal milestone in the hearts of fans of real-time strategy games, but Age of Empires on Earth is a game comparable to Age of Empires, with beautiful pictures, diverse buildings and more than 200 combat units. Most notably, it brings players a strong sense of history that can't be compared with the imperial era. Earth Empire shows us as many as 12 historical periods, including: Stone Age, Iron Age, Atomic Age, Future Age and so on. Players can choose Britain, France, Germany and many other nations to establish their own countries, or they can simply create a country by themselves and try their best to compete for the Central Plains, thus unifying the whole country.
The Earth Empire has brought us real three-dimensional operations, from armored knights in the middle ages to fully mechanized troops in the 20th century, and then to giant steel robots in the future. The navy ranges from rafts and sailboats to aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. The Air Force has fighters such as Apache, F- 15 and B-2 stealth strategic bombers. I believe this is also the dream of many weapons lovers.
In Empire of the Earth, special characters are also the key link that can affect the outcome of the war. One of them is a mysterious religious figure, who can create earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, plagues and other disasters with the help of "the power of God" and give fatal blows to the enemy. Another kind of characters are famous military heroes in history, including Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Churchill and General Patton. They belong to different nationalities, and their appearance will greatly improve the morale of your army and make its combat effectiveness surge. Do you get excited when you think of your heroes?
Another selling point of Earth Empire is a strong sense of history, which presents almost every major war in human history to players without reservation. From Triem War to World War II, it was so spectacular and so real. Do you have the glory of General Barton when your armored forces gallop majestically on the European continent? The battle editor attached to the game gives players the opportunity to create their own dream wars. Go forward bravely, the road to world hegemony is at your feet, and the throne of world hegemony is ahead.
Generally speaking, the earth empire is almost a real-time strategic version of civilization. It combines the advantages of imperial era and civilized era, develops its own way and becomes its own characteristics. It is definitely a game worth looking forward to. War is an eternal theme for game makers, and Empire of the Earth will undoubtedly become another peak.
The introduction of the times:
Stone Age (50000 BC-5000 BC)
Many tool manufacturing originated in the Stone Age, and one of the most important inventions was to install wooden handles for tools. The first tool product of this idea is a spear: a wooden handle and a sharp stone knife or spar form a primitive weapon, which is mainly used for fishing and also for defending the enemy.
Some religious behaviors also originated from this era: most people were under 30 in the Stone Age, and people's concern for their own lives gave birth to some religious funerals and ancestor worship. The earliest religious groups were Yellow Taoists, who were thought to be able to talk to the soul. Murals in this period also prove that Taoist priests of the Yellow Dynasty prayed for good weather and abundant food by holding some religious ceremonies as early as the Stone Age. The emergence of religious phenomena shows the diversity of human society and is also the need of the ruling class. According to recorded historical research, at the end of the Stone Age, people began to exist in Greece and Biari Peninsula in the form of villages.
Bronze Age (5000 BC-2000 BC)
The bronze age was the time when people began to use metals widely. Metals such as gold, silver and copper are cast into various shapes and used in different fields. In 3000 BC, copper was made into tools and weapons because of its excellent properties. Although metal has more advantages than stoneware, not all weapons are made of metal. For example, the arrows of bows and arrows were made of stone in the Bronze Age, because stone arrows are lethal and easy to make.
In the Iron Age, Egyptians began to make warships out of bundles of reeds, which could sail on the relatively flat Nile. In 2000 BC, Egyptians and Roques began to build wooden boats, which could sail in the Mediterranean Sea with abrupt climate change and extremely fast wind speed. At that time, people had invented hanging square canvas to speed up the boat and rowing to make it easier to steer. Another feature of this era is the rise of agriculture, which also created the necessary conditions for the emergence of human civilization. People not only grow crops such as wheat and corn, but also raise domestic animals to eat meat, pear fields and pull carts. By the end of the Bronze Age, agriculture had spread from central China to the whole of Europe.
Bronze Age (2000 BC-0 AD)
When copper and tin melted together for the first time, a new substance-bronze was discovered. This innovation can be described as an unexpected discovery. Of course, weapons manufacturers will not waste the infinite value of this hard metal. The discovery of bronze became a milestone in the history of human metallurgy.
In this era, people also invented knives, and in order to defend their homes, the border defense system has also been improved. It is worth mentioning that the medical level has also made a qualitative leap. It is recorded in Egypt that human surgical technology originated in the Bronze Age. In Greece, the supernatural power of medicine is not valued. Until 500 BC, diseases were considered as physical pains caused by natural causes. In 300 BC, the Greeks established a medical college in Alexandria, and the development of medical college quickly expanded to the whole Roman region.
The formal education of young people can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, but it was the Egyptians who standardized education and further expanded its role. Earlier schools were used to train scribes or teach religion, and Greek schools also taught literacy and good behavior. Higher education is for the rich and the leisure class. The most famous is Plato's Academy, which was founded by Plato in 387 BC.
The Dark Ages (0-900 AD)
Shortly after bronze was replaced by copper, early human civilization reached its peak-the Roman Empire. When the empire finally collapsed, a period called the dark ages came. There are many reasons for the decline and disintegration of the Roman Empire, the most important of which is the defeat in the battle with a tribe called barbarians. In 387 AD, the Goths defeated Rome in the Battle of Adrian Fort, and finally, Rome was captured by the Visigoths in 4 10 AD.
After the decline of the Roman Empire, human civilization continued to develop. The Roman monarch established the new Eastern Roman Empire in 330 AD, and he founded Christianity. After nearly a thousand years, the Eastern Roman Empire was replaced by the Western Roman Empire. At the same time, a warship named Byzantium was born in the army. This warship was made of the most advanced equipment and military equipment at that time, and it could throw long-range weapons hundreds of yards away. Therefore, the Byzantine army became a powerful army with complete weapons and many armored cavalry.
The monarchs of the western Roman Empire wanted to expand their control over the territory, but the increasingly obvious religious differences made them hostile to Roman Catholicism. In 800 AD, King Franks of Western Europe appointed Pope Leo III as the new Roman monarch, and Roman Catholicism became independent from then on.
The Middle Ages (900-65438+0300)
The medieval period was a period of centralization and rapid development of science and technology, and the establishment of feudal system made the rulers reunify Europe. Landlords and farmers all over the country have walled up their land, hired serfs to cultivate it for them, and a large number of cavalry as their followers, which are also used to defend their territory from foreign aggression when necessary.
Of course, in addition to cavalry, castles were the ultimate means to protect their homes, because compared with castles, the level of weapons at that time was still very low. Most weapons are huge and weigh more than 65,438+00 tons, so it is difficult to aim at the target. Longbow is an excellent weapon in this period, and it is often used in various battles, especially in Britain. Archers have been carefully selected and trained for a long time since childhood. This kind of investment was quite huge at that time. A trained archer can shoot an arrow 300 yards away.
Castle is not the only giant building in the Middle Ages. The architectural achievement at that time was the construction of the world's first batch of arched wall buildings, such as the cathedral with arched ceiling and gorgeous stained glass.
During this period, the influence of Catholicism also developed. The famous Crusaders broke out in Europe and the Crusaders occupied Jerusalem. At this time, the first papal investigation army was ordered to suppress all pagans, and finally, the Crusaders were expelled from the city.
Renaissance (1300- 1500)
The Renaissance originated in Italy and gradually spread to other countries. The gradual recovery of ancient civilization reached its peak during the Renaissance. At the same time, the Renaissance stimulated technological innovation and caused people to think in many ways. The invention of the engine and the printing press made it possible to mass-produce books, and people's education level and education rate were greatly improved.
In order to overcome the number one disease and plague that claimed countless lives at that time, the city made every effort to build public health facilities and eradicate garbage and sewage. Another way to prevent the spread of the plague is to take isolation measures.
Although gunpowder was invented earlier, it was not recognized and used until the Renaissance. Early gunpowder weapons, such as matchlock guns and matchlock hooks, have appeared on the battlefield, but these gunpowder weapons are not reliable: loading and unloading are very slow, operation is also very dangerous, and emerging artillery can easily break through the castle. Of course, the early gunpowder weapons had incomparable advantages over the older longbow, so they were widely used in various wars in the16th century.
Age of Empire (1500- 1700)
The appearance of ships made it possible to sail around the world, and mankind announced the arrival of the imperial era. In order to compete for resources and territory, maritime countries invented bronze cannons as weapons, and people also made real warships at this time, which could carry 150 giant cannons and a large number of light weapons. People named it after Henry III. In addition to cannons and warships, the production technology of light weapons is also developing constantly: people have invented rifles that are easier to disassemble and lower in production cost instead of matchlock guns. With the weapons used by people in war becoming more and more accurate and reliable, the era of archers is gone forever. Knife, halberd and other primitive weapons that can only be used for face-to-face confrontation finally withdrew from the historical stage, and the medieval war gradually evolved into a real modern war.
At the same time, great changes have taken place in science and technology. At this stage, the development of science and technology mainly focuses on the experiment of renewable resources. Galileo, a great scholar who pursues science, proved that the East is not the center of the universe with the help of a newly invented telescope. But later, in order to defend the scientific truth, he was put under house arrest as a heretic.
/kloc-another important discovery in the 0/7th century was calculus, which laid a theoretical foundation for Newton to invent the law of universal gravitation in the future.
Industrial age (1700- 1900)
One of the great influences of the development of science on mankind is to change people's attitude towards science. People firmly believe that the development of science will also promote other aspects of human progress. Under this belief, people ushered in the arrival of the industrial revolution.
An important invention during the industrial revolution was the use of the steam engine. Later, steam engines were gradually used in various fields from factories to underground mining. The factory standardizes the production of parts, which greatly reduces the production cost and has higher production efficiency; The production of weapons has gradually adopted standardized forms, and diversified designs have improved the quality of guns. Long-range cannon and rifle became the weapon standard in this period.
In the medical field, the theory that diseases are caused by bacteria has attracted people's attention and produced considerable influence. People can kill microorganisms by pasteurization and disinfection, which also provides a certain basis for Darwin's theory of evolution. At the same time, gregor Mendel's genetic theory has made people have a deeper understanding of life.
During the industrial period, people also mastered the use of electricity, so batteries and generators were born, and electricity became one of the greatest inventions of mankind. The appearance of electric motor made people realize their dream of converting electric energy into mechanical energy, and telegraph improved people's communication mode again after telephone. Incandescent lamps have replaced kerosene as a new lighting tool in this era.
Atomic age (1900-2000)
The first world war:
World War I was the first global war of mankind, starting at 19 14 and ending at 19 18. During World War I, warships made of copper sailed in the oceans of the world. These warships could fire at targets from miles away. The underwater U boat did not hesitate to attack the ships on the water. At the same time, the new work of mankind-the plane spreads its wings in the sky for the first time, and well-trained military pilots can accurately aim at the attack target under the condition of high vibration of fighter planes. 19 15, positional warfare appeared on land, and artillery and machine guns became the weapon standards at that time.
19 15 western front war, both sides suffered heavy losses and tens of thousands of soldiers died. In order to break the deadlock in the war, military strategists racked their brains and used various strategies and tactics to win, and also invented the weapon of war-tanks. In the Battle of Cambre at 19 17 and 12, 474 British tanks appeared on the battlefield filled with smoke. In the amazing eyes of the world, Britain turned the tide and defeated Germany to win the battle.
The First World War did not end with the victory of Britain. On the contrary, the United States also participated in the war.
19 18, World War I was called off and eight million soldiers were killed.
The Second World War
During the Second World War, the performance of tanks and planes was obviously superior to that during the First World War. 1940- 194 1 The Battle of England was a veritable air battle in essence, which was different from the traditional ground war and fully demonstrated the great power of air combat forces to turn the tide in modern wars. Subsequently, jets, rockets and P-38 fighters were born one after another.
Warships also played an important role in World War II. Aircraft carriers equipped with improved warships and submarines also appeared in the battlefield of World War II, and showed their magical destructive power in battles such as the Battle of Pearl Harbor. Compared with warships, submarine warships patrol the surrounding waters more and more to defend the ships in the army that are vulnerable to damage and attack.
Military scientific research also made a breakthrough in the atomic age: the division of atoms was a scientific achievement that attracted worldwide attention in this period. At the end of World War II, the atomic bomb came out, which made people see the shocking power of the atomic bomb. However, it is undeniable that the atomic bomb is indeed a breakthrough scientific achievement of mankind, both inside and outside the battlefield, and it also indicates the future of human war development.
The end of twentieth Century
In the late 20th century, the Cold War dominated the international foreign policies of many countries, and world powers were involved in the conflict between North Korea and South Korea. At this time, nuclear weapons were successfully developed, but they did not really go to war. Conventional weapons, such as combat helicopters, are becoming more and more modern with the continuous improvement of people. With the invention of microcomputer, military equipment is also developing in the direction of high technology. Emerging weapons such as F- 15 fighter, US helicopter and B-2 bomber came out one after another before and after the Cold War. Countries are also developing nuclear weapons in secret. 1990 after the end of the cold war, all countries are rethinking how to use their military power. Later, the Gulf War became an exhibition of advanced weapons of mankind.
The development of human computer and communication is not limited to the military. The development of science and technology finally led to the revolution of industry and commerce and great changes in people's lives.
Digital Age: (AD 2000- AD 2 100)
The advent of the world Internet announced the arrival of the human digital age, and the global perfect communication equipment shortened the distance between the people of the world. High-energy laser and particle beam weapons have been used in the digital age, but their huge volume and high energy consumption prevent them from being widely used in practice. In 2020, high-density energy battery technology was successfully developed, which was widely used in weapon design. In the digital age, the performance of bulletproof vests worn by soldiers has been greatly improved. This kind of bulletproof vest can not only prevent bullets and grenades from attacking, but also prevent the irradiation of deadly and harmful rays.
The most important military development in the digital age is the application of military mechanization. The so-called military mechanization means that advanced military robots have appeared in real battlefields from laboratories and Hollywood movies. This kind of robot has a preliminary level of intelligence and can fight under the remote operation of people. In 2050, the neural network design of this military robot has been drawn on the optical chip. The design of neural network makes robots' intelligence equivalent to human brain, so they gain real thinking ability and can think in a real sense. This efficient military robot is powered by high-performance batteries and equipped with the most advanced weapons, making military mechanization one of the main symbols of the digital age.
In terms of theoretical science, human beings have also made great achievements in this period, the most remarkable of which is that human genetic genes have been deciphered at the beginning of 2 1 century, and the deciphering of genetic genes has initially extended human life to 1.25 years.
The Nano Age (AD 2 100-AD 2200)
In the nano-era, people's research on the micro-world has become more and more successful. 2/kloc-0 At the beginning of the century, nanotechnology achieved initial success in the medical field. With the continuous development of nanotechnology, nano-scale computers have appeared, with a volume of one billionth of a meter. This kind of nano-computer can do everything in atomic units, including atomic replication. However, writing complex programs for nano-computers is the biggest obstacle that human beings need to overcome. At the same time, quantum computers are also in the process of development. Quantum computer is the smallest and most efficient computer for human beings, and it can solve trillions of data processing.
After overcoming the programming problem, nano-computer is widely used in all aspects of life: with its help, biological life structure and mechanical structure are effectively combined, resulting in many hybrids such as computer biology. Scientists have also developed an artificial virus, which can be used for medical treatment and consciousness control, but the effective realization of this technology is based on the need to translate the target into atomic structure, and this translation process takes a long time to complete.
