Rise Of Nations
Review it ____ Rate it ____
Description:
From Brian Reynolds, designer of Civilization II and Alpha Centauri, comes Rise of Nations, combining the epic scope of Civilization with the fast-paced action of real-time strategy games. Rise of Nations allows players to create new cities, improve their city infrastructure and expand national borders. Players have the option to win through military might using everything from sling-shots to cannons to stealth bombers; corner the market on key commodities; and wheel and deal with a wide variety of civilizations. Unlike other historical real-time strategy games, Rise of Nations allows the gamer to quickly play from the Stone Age to the modern age.

  1. ( Lambiorix_be, 05-26-2003) I know RoN tried to combine TBS with RTS. I expected more... There is no big difference with any other RTS game... Except for the graphics there it was as if I was playing empire earth or star trek armada... The box marks "...leading designer of civilization II' which is very misleading if you check the content. As RTS it was not a bad game, it was just not what I had expected..
  2. ( Wtiberon, 05-25-2003) This game promised the epic scope of TBS combined with RTS...it does not. While this is a decent game in its own right it is not as was promised and fell far short of my expectations

    An OldSchool Die Hard AOK/AOC Gamers Review of Rise of Nation: Death Match (Based on Demo)

    RON DM is basically AOK/AOC DM Dark Ages with
    resources set to "High". You will have to go thru ages. But, unlike AOK/AOC DM Dark ages, RON DM Ages are much more fun. Trust me, I never had the patience to play AOK Dark ages, and fight battles with weak units. But, in Rise of Nations, I loved it on DM going thru ages.

    Game play, Unit Control & Game Speed: RON unit control and game speed on Fast mode is much better than AOM and is perfectly ok for any Die Hard AOK/AOC DM’ers. There has been complains about unit speed. But, I think, WC3 players are the ones who will complain about unit speed as they are used to sheer game and unit speeds. RON Fast mode with Fast gathering rate is little bit faster then AOK/AOC normal speed.

    Love it or hate it? Thanks to BHG for producing such a fun game. ES should have produced RON to keep on track with ROR/AOK/AOC series. But, now, BHG took it from them. Yes, I loved RON. I was bored with AOC, played AOK/AOC for four years. Its time for a change. RON Is my choice of change.

    My Ratings: Game play: 8/10 (As good as AOC, but better than AOM)
    Unit Control: 8/10 (Better then AOM but AOC is better than RON)
    Graphics: 7/10 (As good as AOC)
    Game speed/unit speed: 8/10 ( Totally ok !)
    Game Options: 10/10 (Best game setup options I have ever seen)
    Multiplayer: Demo did not have any options
    Buy it or not: 10/10 (YES! Go for it, will be worth the money!)
