Rise of Nations Gold Edition Description |
|
Historical fast-paced, real-time strategy game of epic scale. It allows city creation and infrastructure improvement. Win through military might using slingshots to cannons to stealth bombers, or corner the market on key commodities e.g. the wheel and deal with a wide variety of nations.
Rise of Nations carries the sweeping scope of epic historical turn-based strategy games, but gives the player the quick decision-making of real-time games such as Age of Empires II.
The game brings to life the entire sweep of human culture, from the late Stone Age to modern-day technology-not just in warfare, but in city building, trade, and diplomacy. Gamers will be able to move through the game timeline quickly and have a satisfying game experience without playing for hours.
Rise of Nations: Gold Edition includes both the award-winning Rise of Nations and the critically acclaimed expansion pack, Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots which has only just been released on the Windows platform. The Thrones and Patriots expansion adds a barrage of new features to the original game. 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 periods of time from the Ancient Age to the Information Age.
From acclaimed game designer Brian Reynolds, Rise of Nations an epic, historical, real-time strategy game. For the first time, gamers will experience the pulse-pounding thrill and speed of real-time gaming combined with the epic scope and depth of turn-based strategy games. The game brings to life 6,000 years of history from the ancient age to the information age Ñ not just in warfare but in city building, trade and diplomacy. Despite the long timeline in the game, Rise of Nations is designed with the casual audience in mind, meaning gamers will be able to move through the game quickly.
Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots, the expansion pack to the critically acclaimed, best-selling Rise of Nations, adds a barrage of new features to the original game. The expansion introduces six new nations, four unique single-player campaigns, more than 20 original units, new wonders and government types.
The original Rise of Nations has garnered several Best of 2003 awards and 'Editor's Choice' awards from major media outlets. Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots, released in April 2004, has also been awarded a number of Editor's Choice awards' and has been praised as one of the best expansions to date.
Key Features:
- Lead one of 24 highly diverse nations: With the Gold Edition, players can lead one of 24 nations - in the single player campaigns or on a multiplayer battlefield. Each nation has its own distinctive national powers and special units.
- Engage in 5 single player campaigns and over 130 scenarios: Non-linear, single-player campaigns based on historical epochs will keep players busy as they plan their moves on the strategic outer map and play out battles in over 130 scenarios.

- Command over 240 different units: Players can lead their armies to fight on land, sea or in the air with everything from slingers, musketeers, tanks, massive Persian War elephants, aircraft carriers and nuclear missiles.
- In-depth game experience: Gamers will be able to create a truly strategic game experience by using national borders, flank attacks, spies and generals. In addition, as a nation advances through the ages, players can decide between six different government types, from socialism to capitalism, despotism to republic, each government type has a different power that allows players to customise their nations and open up new tactics and strategic possibilities. A unique Patriot unit is available with each government type, bringing a variety of powers to the battlefield.
- Cross-genre gameplay: Combining the speed of real-time gaming with the epic scope of turn-based strategy games, Rise of Nations: Gold Edition allows players to have a fast and fun experience with the option to complete a game in less than an hour. The game's epic scope moves through eight historical epochs, tying together the mysteries of ancient philosophy and the wonders of the world.
