Another game that I found to be decent is Praetorians, which has the Romans, Barbarians and Egyptians. Terrain plays a very large part in that game, and there is only one resource-- people. Better units just take more time (and honour points) to recruit. You get honour points when you kill enemies.
I hated Praetorians, bad graphics, bad AI, bad units, and the fact that I sucked at it all contributed to my eternal hatred of that game

About Empire Earth however, the first one was great, but I actually thought the second one was not bad either . So get EE1 and EE2 is my advice to you.
