Summary
A double pack of the finest vintage, Rise of Nations: Gold Edition compiles the previously availabe RON and its expansion pack, Thrones and Patriots. Rise of Nations allows players to create new cities, improve the infrastructure of their city, and expand national borders. Players have the choice of winning by using military might, utilising everything from slingshots and cannons to stealth bombers, or cornering the market on key commodities by wheeling and dealing with a wide variety of nations.
Unlike other historical real-time-strategy games, Rise of Nations lets gamers quickly play through eight historical ages of time, from the Ancient Age to the Information age, covering 6,000 years of history. Gamers can play a quick battle on any map as one of 18 nations, or play Conquer the World, the unique blending of turn-based and real-time strategy gameplay. 6,000 years may seem like a lot of time to lose yourself in, but condensed into either type of aforementioned game, the time just flies by. We would wager that even the most casual gamer could derive at least a modicum of pleasure from Rise of Nations. It's intense, but not too much so as to scare away beginners.
Thrones and Patriots adds a shedload of new features to the Rise of Nations original. Combining the epic scope of traditional turn-based strategy games with the fast-paced action of RTS games, Thrones and Patriots enables players to explore 6,000 years of history as they amass powerful armies, build prosperous economies and perform acts of diplomacy.
Thrones and Patriots introduces six new nations, four unique single-player campaigns, more than 20 original units, new wonders and new government types. Unlike other historical RTS games, the Rise of Nations franchise allows gamers to quickly play through eight historical epochs of time from the Ancient Age to the Information Age.
