I have to say the first time i recieved rise of nations i did not get the concept of making an empire with armies and the collection of resources through historical significant features.
I have played online for along time and if u are thinking of getting this game you should consider online play as the best. i always play in any of my online games and they are fun. If u read my review and get the game and go online and u see Nemesis Immortal or ISC_Will_02 say hello and tell him that you read this review.

Boring, but good presentation.

Rise of Nations does not have a storyline. It is a strategy game in which it is YOUR job to pick everything. Any missions out there are only for learning.

This game is a little boring after a while, however the game itself has a splendid presentation and good music. it is nice just to sit back, relax, and listen to the music.

clumsy game

One second, there is too much to do. The next, you are waiting around to collect a resource to research or build something. Citizens needing to be told to go to work when there are open slots at your mines or woodcutting area is tedious and not fun. Having to research at seven different buildings instead on a single area is a poor idea. The AI does not need to search to find just the right building (which all look very similar) to study something, so why should the player?

At the easiest, slowest setting, the player should be able to learn and crush the opposition, but even then, you are struggling to keep the AI out of your cities. Not much fun. Perhaps if you have been playing Warcraft or another real time strategy game for ten years, this is all second nature. But for a newbie, this is more like work than play.

repetitive and personality changing

When I first bought this game it was pretty fun. It has nice graphics.After about one and a half months it started to be repetitive and I was getting tired of killing people. I stopped playing it. Then my 7 year old younger brother became addicted to it. Finaly my mom had to take it away from him. He has never been the same since.

It's ok..

Released date was in 2006 and I was expecting a little more. For a $10 game it is ok. Gameplay is a little awkward. It's like playing a classic board game with some modern affects and modern stategy. I think they could have been a little more creative. There's 2 main modes. The first mode is like risk where you are in map mode. The second mode is where you control the battle front. If the maps were larger and the gameplay a little better the game would have potential.

lacking in some important areas

Terrain and elevation don't affect gameplay at all, and you don't have walls that you can build. So the game begs you to play offensively. This is really disappointing and limiting to gameplay strategies. Also, though you can toggle some of the settings to make the game progress thru advancements more slowly, the default setting pushes major technology changes every 5 minutes! What is the point of entire Ages of Humanity going by so quickly? You can pause the game and make adjustments, but basically this is an RTS with a slightly more complicated technology tree. If you like Civilization, you may greatly dislike the limited depth and speedy pace of this game.

Good Game

Pat Emerson doesn't know what he is talking about. There is a single player mode on RoN that isn't the Risk-type one. It's called "Quick Battle". Overall, the game is really cool. You can set troops in different formations to help with strategies. (You'll have to turn on the Advanced Options in game though, it isn't that hard to.) I would reccomend this to anyone. it is really that good.

Great Idea!

While the single player gets a little repetative, after a couple of months, the multiplayer is rock solid. Crossing calssic strategy with a SIM-city style evolution of a city and the strategy style of Risk when you switching maps is really brilliant. It was the natural progression of Strategy games and I don't know why it wasn't done before. M$ has really outdone itself on this one.

Best Game by far

If you like strategy games then this one is for you. It keeps you absorbed for hours. Amazon delivered my game promptly and at a great price too! I also bought the expansion pack Kings and Patriots.
