EDIT - This is a RoN-related post.

The new historical campaigns are great, but I just want to caveat my previews (Napoleon and Cold War) - they are based on the Marketing Beta of a couple months ago and probably represent an even earlier stage in the expansion's development. Big Huge Games' Douglas Kaufman hinted at surprises in his designer diary at 1up.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I'm intrigued by the Chinese campaign in the game. It looks like it will be during the Cold War, which could be very interesting!

China was at various times, enemies of the USA, the USSR, and a good percentage of its neighboring countries during that time. I look forward to it.

(Although I still hope they'll put a JieFangJun unit in the game )

For me, the main worry is that they've pretty much admitted that the Chinese campaign is the most rushed one of the bunch. I hope they won't be pressured to release it before the whole package is presentable.

I never knew that there were any campiagns in the game. There are single player missions? Where are they? I thought that the game was like alpha centauri with no missions just skrimish.

The campaigns are basically different CTW setups.

MP is just a newer version of AoK or EE. The single player (CTW) stuff is where this games rakes in kudos.

ron mp is not like aok or ee, you may draw that its like ee for one reason and thats it spans all ages but even that comparsion is superficial. And comparing it to aok is just stupid they have nothing in common

Nothing in common? For god's sake they're both RTS!?! They both have civilizations, UUs, resource collection (many of the same resources too), the categories for combat units are extremely similar, etc.

AoK, EE, and RoN are very similar games. I know they have differences and can play differently but for the most part if you've played one you can play the others (not that you'd do well but you'd understand the concepts).

Is there any facility for writing your own CTW campaigns? I'm imaging somebody writing up the various points of engagement for the US forces in AFghanistan, pursuing the hit+fade terrorist forces from one location to the next. You would have a map of Afghanistan, split into provinces, and as you advanced, you'd have battlefields to fight on, some of which (Tora Bora, Kandahar) would be very tricky to strat for.

Essentially, like the single player campaigns in Command and Conquer, except that there's more of a supply and science feel.

they are both rts, and they have the same basic elements every rts game has true. You play a fps and u know the basics for any other fps but do they play the same no. But they dont play the same in mp i have played aok and ron and there nothing similar about the two expect the basics.

Suffering from ads?

The concepts = same.

Methods they are executed = different.

You could play the others, yes, through undestanding concepts, but that's because their the same genre. I know some AOE2 players who got EE, were happy at how similar it seemed to AoE2, got online, and were crushed. The strategy in EE is absolutely different.

Am having trouble finding where it was mentioned now, but somewhere along the way in getting the trial, I saw a note that it was expected that a European release would be around 2 weeks to a month later.

NZ/Oz release is 23rd - 25th May, so you should get it earlier than that.

I got two error messages while installing:

1. Retcode Positive 32769

2. invalid patch file error

TP then continues to install. I can play it, but in my first game the Americans are all buggered up. They get a free level of Science tech and they cannot build granaries or lumber mills. What a mess.
