A Classic. Rise of Nations was the first RTS I ever played, so this game will always have a special place in my heart. I still remember spending hours building my civilization, advancing through the ages, expanding my territory, and getting completely lost in the game. It was one of those games that made me fall in love with the RTS genre in the first place. Even now, coming back to it brings back a lot of memories. There are plenty of newer RTS games out there, but Rise of Nations still feels special to me because of how much of my childhood is tied to it. I really hope the developers eventually remaster this game properly. I'd love to experience this classic again with modern graphics and quality-of-life improvements. One of the games that made me love RTS. ❤️
It's an old game but a classic. The graphics suck now compared to newer games but, its still addicting and fun.
Very funny and interesting game. It has quite a few interesting mods for paying. Really nice for friendly game. Downside is that AI opponent is not very smart and it's easy to win even on highest difficulty.
