Product Description
You've conquered the world in Rise of Nations, now do it again playing all new historical campaigns with a fully interactive diplomacy and trading system and featuring over 130 new scenarios. Follow in the footsteps of two of the world's greatest generals, Alexander the Great and Napoleon. See how well you do in the politically charged climate of the New World and the Cold War. Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots, the expansion pack to the critically acclaimed, best-selling real-time strategy (RTS) game Rise of Nations, adds a barrage of new features to the original game. Combining the epic scope of traditional turn-based strategy games with the fast-paced action of RTS games, Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots enables players to explore 6,000 years of history as they amass powerful armies, build prosperous economies and perform acts of diplomacy. Rise of Nations: 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 epochs of time from the Ancient Age to the Information Age.

 No good. September 8, 2008
R. MacNaughten (Scotland)
This game is no better than the origional. The fact that they put persians and yanks in it doesn't make it more enjoyable.
 Well-balanced, complex strategy August 4, 2008
J. Loscheider (Midwest)
I hate the phrase "Total Package" but it is apt in this expanded "Rise of Nations" dual-disc package.
The original game was good - and very frustrating. The computer will neither lay down and let you roll over it, nor simply overwhelm you. It will, however, put up a heckuva good fight.
Even with overwhelming force, attrition plays such a large part of the damage your invading units receive that by the time the opponent is beat, you'll not have much left to mount an effective attack.
In short, this is a strategy game that really makes you think ahead.

Got Rise of Nations on sale for $20, wouldn't pay more than that...
tip: turn game speed down; took 40 minutes game time to conquer world.
Not worth playing second time round, have un-installed.

Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots
I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved it. I had to fight to get him to turn it off. He is 12. This follows along the same lines as Age of Empires (Age of Kings) Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings
Just what I was hoping September 29, 2007

Just have to say that the American civ fits with my style of gameplay so well that it has really increased the fun of the game. So much so that I have yet to try any of the other new civs. I keep meaning to, but . . .
Choosing governments has been executed very well, too, and I think it's a definite plus. I'd look forward to that concept expanded somewhat in a sequel . . .
