The Entire Span of Human History
Is In Your Hands.
Dominate
6,000 years of history from the Ancient Age to the Information Age. Which forces
will you deploy to lead your nation to global prominence? Trade, espionage, diplomacy…war?
Whichever path you choose, you’ll experience the pulse pounding thrill and
speed of real-time gaming combined with the epic scope and depth of turn-based strategy
games – brought together for the first time ever in Rise of Nations.
Rise of Nations is a new historical
real time strategy game from Big Huge Games’ Brian Reynolds, designer of PC
game classics such as Civilization 2 and Alpha Centauri.
In Rise
of Nations, you'll create new cities, improve city infrastructures and expand national
borders. Conquer foes through military might using everything from sling-shots to
cannons to stealth bombers to nuclear weapons; corner the market on key commodities
and consolidate power under your rule; wheel and deal across time with history's
eminent cultures.
Key Features Include:
Cross genre gameplay
- Combining pulse-pounding real-time gaming with the epic scope of turn-based strategy
games, Rise of Nations gives you a fast and fun experience. You can play a quick
battle on your choice of map as your choice of nation (including random), or play
the turn-based/RTS mix Conquer the World Campaign.
Zooming scale
- See enormous swaths of territory at once or zoom to watch one group of citizens
or military unit at work. Maintain command of multiple cities and expansive military
campaigns while still controlling the progress of individual cities and battles.
Clearly defined national borders let you expand territory strategically.
Multiple victory conditions
– Gain dominion through non-military and quasi-military strategies including
espionage, diplomacy, technology races and territory expansion. Or, simply obliterate
all comers through the raw power of a military conquest.
Streamlined multiplayer
– In the multiplayer mode (up to 8 players), you'll accumulate resources and
move through different time periods quickly, reaching the coup de grace in a timely
fashion. Victory is just moments away.
