Rise of nations - Games - Facepunch Forum

[img]http://imgkk.com/i/SVqsCQ.jpg[/img] The best RTS ever (accept RA2) [b]What is Rise of Nations[/b] Rise of Nations is a real-time strategy (RTS) game inspired by the history of mankind. Starting in the Ancient Age (about 6000 years ago), players advance through eight epochs to the present Information Age by developing their nations and navigating them through war and peace. It combines pulse-pounding real-time gaming with the epic scope of turn-based strategy games. Real-time gaming creates a fast and fun experience in under an hour. The epic scope ties together the mysteries of ancient philosophy and wonders of the world with the silk routes and intrigue of the middle ages and the technology of modern tanks and nuclear weapons.

Great game.

I visited the company who made this game, they were working on a new game but I can't talk about it due to an NDA. They also said that half of the models made in this game were made by interns :v:

I gots it BEST. GAME. EVAR. Red Alert 2 isn't better, its ABOUT even with RoN

I had Rise of Nations for Mac OS X, maybe I should get the PC version... except it's still $20, a bit expensive but the game is worth it.

Rise of Nations is the shit. I have it installed. I should play it.

fffff reinstalling

I remember watching my friend play this, I always wanted to play it. Downloading tomorrow, what's the multiplayer like?

Immensely fun. [editline]10:24PM[/editline] There's nothing quite like launching four dozen nuclear warheads at your enemies capital.

My multiplayer stutters bad. [editline]06:29AM[/editline] lol artificial intelligence is op

aztec musketeers go

Fuck yeah China

I remember playing the demo ages ago. It was awesome. I remember having WWII-era tanks and fighting against cavemen.

Wow this game's awesome! Nukes = Fun!

i remember lefting game on but going outside myself , I was with fucking sticks and cpu had mechs

Read my mind, I was going to say the best RTS apart from Red Alert 2.

I love it, ever tried playing it on a LAN? Awesome to say the least. I would have reinstalled by nostalgia, but some dickweed got yoghurt on my second disk a while ago.

I will play with you guys sometime :buddy:
