Rise of Nations

Domain Name Com's - : Rise of Nations


  

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Ridiculous to call this strategy.
Okay, so I'm supposed to build buildings and units. Got it. Wait, I'm also supposed to walk around and discover rarities that merchants can harvest. Got it. Wait, I'm also supposed to accumulate wood, food, & gold. Got it. Wait, I'm also supposed to study in the library AND (and this is the part that bugs me most) in every other building. AND. I'm also supposed to build an army/navy and deploy them in a micromanaging way. This game has some great parts - I am not denying that. However, it is a horribly flawed nightmare. I loved to micromanage in turn-based strategies. It is next to impossible to accomplish this in a RTS. I feel torn between wanting to research, build, gather, and explore. I defy anyone finding an enjoyable balance. Rise of Nations would be far supperior if it were turn-based. As it is, I constantly feel as though I'm neglecting one of my four desires. Also, it is ridiculous to be required to research advancements in multiple buildings. It sounds organized at first but it becomes a nightmare when trying to stay on top of technology advances. Developers should make ONE research interface! Second, units should not build buildings! Cities should build buildings! Do not make me responsible for creating a citizen. This makes no sense. Buildings a military unit makes tons of sense, but not normal citizens!!! I am begging the developers to redesign the city interface to encompass these changes! These minor changes would make this game fanastic.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THIS GAME IS SWEET!
When I got this game I installed it and then when I played it(...). This is the best combat game ever! If you play Empire Earth, or even Empires dawn of the modern world, put those aside because this game rules. If your seeing if you want to get this game (...). You should really get this game!

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Needs non-combat
My friend and I have played this game. We say it is great as far as the genre goes. However we are now both bored, and conclude that it places too much emphasis on aggressive game play. If you get into that kind of play all well and good. But having played Star Craft etc., we are now looking for something that is closer to the reality we know. The history of the Nation State runs together with non-nation state forms of organization: The gaming community, and software-producing geeks are examples. We are looking for a simulation game that can show us how both Nation State and Non-Nation State organizations network and support and control each other. Why? Because it would help us understand how things really work rather than the simple fight, bribe, buy and dominate modes of simulation games. Fun, but the genre still needs development.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rise of Nations
What I find as an anachronism about this game is that you can build pyramids while you are in the Information (or current) Age of mankind. In this game, there are eight ages in time: the Ancient Age, the Classical Age, the Medieval Age, the Gunpowder Age, the Enlightenment Age, the Industrial Age, the Modern Age, and the Information Age. I have played the archetype or demo of this game for many months and it has led me to believe that it is bellicose. You, the person playing the game, are the avant-garde of your nation and cities. Some people think that the tutorial to this game is bombast and has no meaning to them. That would be true if you have played the game or games like it long enough, but there are people who haven't played the game and find the tutorial very informative of the games functions and the purpose of the game. You start out in the Ancient Age and it is bucolic and you have to grow a lot of farms and build lots of timber camps so that you can gain the most possible amount of each before the enemy comes and raids your city. The game gives you a caveat that your city or cities are under attack so that you can get back to them and get them protected before they are destroyed. People have been known to hold collusions against computer players so that there is no way the computer can win. They go online to get cheats and then playing the game and ruining the point of the game. There are many ways to give a coup degrace such as gaining 70% of the whole map, capturing the capital of the enemy, Building enough Wonders of the World to gain enough Wonder Points, or by running the Armageddon Clock to zero, which in turn makes you lose also. The enemy can be craven and run away when his troops get too low to keep up the attack. When all hope seems lost because you don't have enough resources, you can send your scout out and like a deus ex machina, there are runes, which replenish your lowest resource. After you have captured enemy capitals, everything but there military and workers become yours. This allows you to be draconian and so you kill them fast and painlessly or slowly and mercilessly. You can make the enemy forces seem flaccid if you overwhelming forces. Beating the computer is always hedonism to most if not all gamers. Usually peasants are meaningless and are in infinitesimal numbers. The game is pragmatic in that it shows how armies are built and how fast or slow people advance through the ages. The basic juggernaut in the game is the one you or the enemy creates. Be afraid if it's the enemy with the juggernaut of an army. The game is laissez-faire in that it lets you advance and grow as fast as you want. The game is also lissome in that the rules can be bent depending on what rules you choose to use. The game seems to be misogyny in that women are the builders and workers and get the lowest working jobs in the game. The men are also builders and workers but they get to be everything else in the game also. Overall this is a great game and I can't wait to get enough money to buy it.
