Gaia is really just a holdover from when this was an Age of Empires total conversion mod. it just refers to anything not controlled by human or computer players, mainly amounting to natural resources such as trees, stone/metal deposits, and wild animals, but also anything "neutral" that you could find, such as a building. in Age of Mythology, for example, some maps included bandit fortresses which were hostile to all players, intended to protect gold mines and whatnot for a bit of extra challenge; another example from the expansion pack for the same game is a God Power which summons a gate to the Underworld that demons aggressive to all players come out of as a form of area denial.

though even if there hadn't been precedent of a gaia "player" with Age of Empires, i'm almost certain there would have been something to that effect, probably called "Nature", but it would've been the same
