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...

I picked this game up a few years ago as my friend had played it extensively as a child in the 2000s. As someone who is laughably bad at all types of RTS games from AoE to Total War, I'm also rubbish at this game, but I have such a fun time that it simply doesn't matter to me. To date, this is the finest RTS I have ever played. There are no caveats to it, its simply a phenomenal game that holds up incredibly well in...

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.

Nostalgic, and still genuinely fun to play

This is such a perfect RTS. I honestly don't think it's ever going to get old. I've played it loads over the years, even though Steam claims I've only put 14 hours into it (I'm sure I've played far more than that!) Rise of Nations just feels like a classic. It's relaxing but always interesting, with great tech trees and a strangely cosy feeling to it. Even after not touching it for years, I can come back and...

Probably my favourite RTS game of all time. Such an amazing gem. The gameplay never gets old and is always extremely engaging. A great way to kill an hour or two if there's not much else to do. Super reliable and it holds up really well on modern setups. Would recommend more than any other war game for macromanagement.

Compared to Civ VII, it is simpler and easier to play while still allowing you to vary and develop your approach to a given game. Because it is not in development, I don't have to spend time learning new rules and components.

Rise of Nations: Extended Edition is still a fantastic strategy game. What I love most is the progression. You start with small villages, basic armies, and simple technology, and over time your civilization grows into modern cities with tanks, aircraft, fighter jets, and advanced technology. Watching your nation evolve across completely different eras is incredibly satisfying. The game combines elements of classic...

This game saved my life! I was once all alone nothing to do.... then one day my abusive parrot learned of this game while listening to the nerds talk outside and said something to me about it beratingly. So I played to avoid my parrot chewing off another toe while I sleep or drive to work. Since I've played my parrot finally left and I enjoy this games mechanics and art and style and sounds and I am not AI.
