This is a great thread. Funny thing is, I checked it while at work, (am 34), and couldn't stop laughing.
Just classic!
On a side note, when WarCraft 3 was released, and I consistantly kept getting my butt handed to me in skirmish games against the A.I. , I thought my days of RTS gaming were over. "Well, I guess it's Age of Wonders II for the rest of my life" is what I thought. Thank BHG for Rise of Nations. "Hello RTS, I'm back baby!"
Oh, and I am totally up for the idea of the 30 - 40 year olds getting together for some multiplayer.... would be great!

It's a good thing for Apolyton that our employers don't let us play at work - otherwise no one would be on the forums.

I'm 17, and I got RoN about two weeks ago.
I must say, I didn't think it'd be this fun. It's a real shame I've had finals these last few days, else I'd be a much better RoN player...oh well, summer time will afford me the opportunity to improve upon my skills.
I absolutely love the fact that you don't have to micromanage a la Warcraft 3. It's not like I couldn't micromanage very well, it's just that it's an inane waste of time. Seriously, who the hell wants to continually tell specific units what to do? It becomes less of a game and more of a job when that happens, and that's why I'm both severely disappointed with WC3 and surprisingly elated with RoN.
I hope BHG makes an expansion with more nations, more UU's, more wonders, more maps, and more buildings (maybe even more ages, like the 'post-apocalyptic age' on one of the threads here [search it out if you're interested]!)

Yes a post-apocalyptic age. After armageddon. All players start with a village, three farms, a woodcutters camp, slingers and hoplites again.

Yes RoN is excellent stuff!
I'm 31 and browse and post this forum at work. 
37 & a Grandad. I think it's a shame there's not more 'kids' playing RTS games. None of mine ever got into gaming, they can't understand the concept. Gonna try to get my gand-daughter into Gaming when she's a little older. They all think I'm mad & eccentric coz I don't watch any tv, but gaming is great 'mental-exercise' whereas tv is great for turning the mind into 'slush'.
