Ah, you mean Empire Earth. I loved that game, it had a great soundtrack.

Sounds like it indeed. The balance was... interesting, a single tank could not win against a dozen cavemen.
Weapons are designed with an opponent in mind, and guarded against the expected threat models from that opponent. Everything breaks down when the opponent does not what you want them to.
I don't see how a single tank could win against 12 cavemen, but I digress. It's a video game.
Empire earth slapped so hard. Both 1 and 2. Honestly now that I’m thinking about it, going to set aside some time this weekend and play it again!
Right right Empire Earth! My memory is a little fuzzy it must have been 20 years ago.
