About this product

Product Information

This "Gold" version of the hit RTS features the original Rise of Nations and its add-on, Thrones and Patriots.<br><br>Rise of Nations is a historically based real-time strategy game from turn-based strategy guru Brian Reynolds and his Big Huge Games studios. The game strives to take only the most enjoyable conventions of real-time strategy games and apply them in an unconventional way. Unlike in most RTS games, for example, resources in Rise of Nations are constituent features of the land, as opposed to discrete mines and forests to be exploited and forgotten. The player claims a resource by claiming the territory in which it lies. Also, though military conquest is certainly an effective means toward global domination, the game is designed such that civic and diplomatic development are equally important, and offer alternate means to ultimate victory.<br><br>The Thrones and Patriots add-on includes six new nations, 20 more units, a variety of new single- and multiplayer campaigns, and an important enhancement to the original game's governing system. The expansion pack's Government feature allows any nation to choose its system of government -- a factor that can have major effects on resource management and unit performance. Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots is designed to bolster the main games' capacity for complex strategy and multi-tiered nation building, while maintaining the fast-paced race to global domination that helps the original stand out from the crowd of historically based RTS games.

Seller was very easy and reasonable to work with. Shipped this out same day. In the past others have struggled and failed to ship large items specifically these sleds, but he was clearly prepared! Worked with me on the shipping as it seemed a lot. After he checked again, without being disgruntled, he was able to find a better cost. Very good experience and trustworthy! Item as described.

Still a Great game to own.
The price was great, this game is a Legand. the game play is fluid. it is one of those games once loaded on your computer, you will be playing over and over. sure I have other games but this one just clicks. Microsoft has stopped supporting it but it still plays well without Microsoft

Awesome!
This is a great game with plenty of ways to keep you busy for hours upon hours. I won't bore you with too many techinical details (these can be found at the game's official website), but I'll say that it was money well spent. The game offers a pretty tough challenge through a few lengthy single-player campaign maps, where you assume the role of a historical leader and follow their footsteps (or take different paths than they did), including a campaign to take over the entire world. Advance through the ages while maintaining a healthy balance of economy and military. Take units from sling-wielding rock throwers to anti-tank rifles, attack helicopters, even nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles. Tons of fun, doesn't require a monster machine to play, inexpensive, good graphics and ... This is a great game with plenty of ways to keep you busy for hours upon hours.

I can't give it an excellent - not because it isn't a great game but because I don't consider many things perfect. But awesome nonetheless, especially for the price!

Much More Complex Than the Original
The reason I bought Rise of Nations (RON) originally, was because it had received many good ratings from many diferent reviewers. I purchased it and was highly impressed by it's graphics, gameplay, replayability and concept. I personally believe that a good game needs all of these to be sucessful and I'm glad it did. Unfortunately for me, I got the game late...these days, in the lobby, there are maybe 30 people at maximum, with maybe 20 players active of varying skill levels. I also personally believe that a good game needs to be alluring and simple to play but harder to master. Using another game as an example, Master of Orion 2 was great for me: it was easy to learn the basics and hard to master, where as Master of Orion 3 just seemed confusing and overwhelming at first ...

Unfortunately for me, I got the game late...these days, in the lobby, there are maybe 30 people at maximum, with maybe 20 players active of varying skill levels. I also personally believe that a good game needs to be alluring and simple to play but harder to master. Using another game as an example, Master of Orion 2 was great for me: it was easy to learn the basics and hard to master, where as Master of Orion 3 just seemed confusing and overwhelming at first (and hence remains in my cd case never to be played). I met some nice people in the lobby and I liked RON so much, that I decided to get the upgrade. I could have bought the Thrones and Patriots expansion pack but I decided to get Gold (for the same price pretty much). You can still play either version with it. Pros: I found the graphics were improved in the expansion pack, in particular with more unique units per nation (the boats for example were slightly changed). The introduction of several new races gives many choices to choose from. :D Of course, for anyone who mastered the races in the original (or Vanilla) RON this of course changes the dynamics of the game in what I think is a positive way. The lobby has 50-70 players (more on the weekends) so there are plenty of people to play with. Most are quite skilled though so prepare to get beaten a few times until you improve your gameplay (better to lose to a good game than to win a boring one right?). It is actually somewhat simple to do tasks such as building a farm: you just select a civilian and click build and plop the farm where you want (provided you have the wood necessary). The resources are fairly simple to grasp and it's important to have an increasing steady supply of them to win. The gameplay is very challenging and dynamic: you can set many modes to play. For example, you can win by military strength (just pound your opponent to death) or say by capturing his capital and holding it for a select period of time, or even do a peaceful tech race. You can play with allies on your team (a game can have a max of 8 players: too bad they couldn't have 16 or something :D ). If you give it a chance and just play to have fun, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and get good at it. :) That is, if you like the starcraft/warcraft type of game (mind you this is different in several ways) Cons: There are some very rude, ignorant and annoying people in the lobby sometimes (although I suppose that happens in any game). People in the lobby are very 1D in that they prefer to either play secret random land maps (I like fighting on water too ;) ) or starting from scratch and making tech expensive. The game is old but yeah, diversity is what keeps a game interesting, no? There have been several adjustments to each race through a patch as they have been *unbalanced* to put it mildly, so if you come from Vanilla RON like I did, then it'll take a good chunk of time to re adjust. I personally don't like the patriot option as it makes attacks too quick and takes away from simple raiding and attrition. All in all, you'll get your money's worth. :) Be sure to have a properly working router! Enjoy!

It's not Age of Empires
Age of Empires it my favorite game and I thought this would be much like it. It wasn't. Understand, it was good but not nearly as good as A of E. I found it a little repetitious and to tell you the truth I put it down after one or two days of trying to beat it. If you like these sort of games, definitely play this game first and then get the compleat set of four Age of Empires games. But don't play A of E first and then play Rise of Natoins because you will be disserpointed. All in all, you will have some fun playing Rise of Nations because it is a good game and well worth the money.Age of Empires it my favorite game and I thought this would be much like it. It wasn't.

Rise of Nations: Gold Edition
The game is real time strategy game which attempts to follow historical developments in various civilizations (interestingly enough, not the U.S.). The game plays a lot like Orc vs. Humans but it is much more involved and has many intricate issues to coordinate. The game is challenging is real time and it difficult to coordinate all your units and city building. In some ways the game might be smoother as turn based game. Still an enjoyable experience with interesting and good graphics.The game is real time strategy game which attempts to follow historical developments in various civilizations (interestingly enough, not the U.S.).
