	Rise Of Nations: Rise Of Legends Increase Your PM Length

I saw today Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends coming in spring of 2006.

Anyone think it is worth it?

I voted for the first choice on impulse. After I voted, I read it closer. Although I do believe RoL will be a good game, I do not believe the franchise series will develop into legendary status, such as the Civ series. I enjoy RoN Gold very much, but it more or less follows the "cookie cutter" mold for RTS games, a la AoE. From my experience, only Paradox offers anything genuine in the RTS genre. I like managing all aspects of an empire, not just resource management and war. The RoN series likely will never offer anything truly immersive, in regards to diplomacy and economic optimization.

interesting

I applaud Aployton for hosting but a shame alas we never had a huge following

maybe we could if this turns out better?

Time will tell

I do hope it is more than simply enhanced graphics or a few new units or a few civs

Knowing Brian Reynolds, it's likely he has some new innovative ideas. Have any features been announced for RoL?

This has nothing to do with Rise of Nations, this is about magic

The descriptions and screen shots for Rise of Legends mind me of the graphics of Myst meet the concept of Zork Grand Inquisitor and The Longest Journey ("Si, April Ryan!") meets the original Wild Wild West TV series.

AoM? Was that real-time? I generally prefer turn-based games, so I fondly recall the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Above all other fantasy games, when life's commitments permit, I ought to give Master of Magic another go: hopefully my wizardly civilization may flourish a little longer next time. Age of Wonders too gave pleasure.
