Want to see the world changing in your hands.. tried...

Strengths: You can see the world from pre-historic until the future-time. Great for playing together with friend's. Also not only realtime but also give you turnbase feature. Overall it was very great.

Weakness: the A.I (computer player) is not very good, the technology are not very much. Just only for the fans strategy genre.

Microsoft was great it can make such a great games... I was a big fan of strategy games. From C&C series until warcarf series.. but there is not such detail of ages on these games like Rise of Nations.. with Thornes and Patriots expansion, I guess you must try it, but if you not fan strategy games. It not recommended.

RiseNations ThronesPatriots

In some ways it's harder to develop an expansion for a great game. The original Rise of Nations offered a compelling but approachable mix of turn-based concepts and real-time gameplay that garnered critical awards as numerous as they were well-deserved. Figuring out how to expand on a game that offered the chance to conquer the world, from ancient times to the present day, as one of 18 highly...
