    This game is everything I was anticipating, and then some. Rise of Nations was already an innovative and interesting blend of turn-based and real-time strategy, and Thrones and Patriots keeps everything that is good an... Read Full Review

    Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots is a superb expansion to the original game. Big Huge Games has made some great additions to the game which have resulted in making Rise of Nations an even bigger blast to play. Well... Read Full Review

    I received this game add-on courtesy of Gamespot, so I want to thank you guys, first and foremost. As far as the game goes, it does a great job of developing the original rise of nations experience. Everything that made ... Read Full Review

    Thrones & Patriots injects a lot of energy into the Rise of Nations franchise; enough to keep it going for many years to come (possibly till Rise of Nations 2?). The additional nations spices up the mix and should provid... Read Full Review

    This game is a pretty good mybrid between Age of Empires II, Empire Earth and Civilization; however, that being said, it was not the innovative RTS masterpiece that the reviews led me to expect. The game looks and fee... Read Full Review

    This game is really amazing. Every time I play it, it blows me away. It does such an incredible job in taking all the best ideas from Turn-Based Strategy games, adding its own new revolutionary ideas, and putting it into... Read Full Review

    Is it me or does this game and many RTS games like simply degrade into click-click-click micromanagement. The only time I really enjoy these games is when I'm building my first city or two. After that managing your empir... Read Full Review

    On paper, Rise of Nations looks to be a tour de force for strategy gamers everywhere. Ultimately however, it's various elements fail to work together and it doesn't quite live up to the sum of it's parts. RoN places ... Read Full Review

    This game is promising, but doesn't quite deliver. An RTS version of Civilization? Sounds great! But the game has serious multiplayer issues. My home network is three PCs, ranging from 700MHz to 2.4GHz, and even with... Read Full Review

    This game was awesome! I’ve been waiting for another good RTS game for a long time now, AOE was getting a little bit boring. Rise of Nations is the game that finally ends my wait. The fact that resources never deplete... Read Full Review
