  • Six new distinct nations, including America
  • Engage in a race for supremacy in the New World
  • Conquer Europe as Napoleon
  • Wage the Cold War as either the USSR or USA
  • It makes a superb real-time strategy game even better

Watch a Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots video. Click "Stream for Free" for higher resolution. Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots is the expansion to our 2003 PC Game of the Year, Rise of Nations. And the scary thing is that Thrones & Patriots makes an already superb game even better. The addition of six new nations, including the oft-requested Americans, brings the total number of nations in the game to an impressive 24. Even better, Thrones & Patriots improves the only real weakness of Rise of Nations by including four exciting and challenging Conquer the World campaigns spread over different eras. Battle for Europe during the Napoleonic Wars, or engage in nuclear warfare in the Cold War struggle between communism and capitalism. These new campaigns feature custom content, and each feels like a whole new game.

Simply put, if you own Rise of Nations but don't own Thrones & Patriots, you owe it to yourself right now to buy this expansion. And if you don't own either and you love strategy games, you should definitely pick these up now. (Microsoft is making this task easier, as a Gold Edition packaging both the original game and the expansion will ship to stores this fall.) Real-time strategy doesn't get much better than this.
