Oh man... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I am just blown away by RoN. Its just so good and exciting. I love the massive amounts of hotkey combinations. I love the ways micromanagment is reduced. Options are everywhere. This game, even in beta form, just rocks hard.

Complaints? Well sure, but I can't justify them yet; It's still in beta for cripe's sake!

But so far, I am majorly impressed. Still has that good Age of Empires feel, but with serious innovations and with 'CIV' twists added in. And with the various gameplay options, you can play slow Nomad type games, or very fast post Information Age deathmatches, or anything in between.

Plus the Conquer the World mode is a very unique and fun SP campaign.

Tired of ads?

I have to iterate- the control scheme is absolutely amazing. The 'MOTD' tips are explaining a lot of things and I just ran accross this little nicety:




Its great watching your armies stay in their formations, and do so with some intelligence (missile units in the back, infantry in front).

Btw, that's the Tips screen that pops up when starting new SP games.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Nice. Can you make some more pics?

I have 3 requests.

1. In the CTW battle, not World map, your on the China territory and you attack Japan. Or your Japan and you attack China. And please use the cheat or in the begining of the game options to reveal the whole entire map.

2. Same as above, but your on the denmark territory, or where denmark is or Northern Germany territory, and you attack Scandanavia. Please reveal it, I want to see the whole mini map.

3. And finally, a goody hut.

And a question. Is there fog of war on the actual CTW map?

Interesting, the way how you control formations is similar to that in Dungeon Siege.

There's also the 'standard' methods too: hotkeys and interface buttons.

They just wanted extra time to polish some things, and CTW.
