Better than age of empires 3. Good ai and graphics. And only 20 bucks. No flaws in this game.
User Rating: 9.5 | Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots PC
Rise of nations thrones and patriots has a great campaign. Unfortunately, the graphics, in my opinion, are still about a 7 out of 10. No improvement. But the game has new nations and units. Thrones and Patriots does what the previous game didnt. It actually has real campaigns, such as the cold war and the new world. Its better than aoe 3, considering aoe has only the new world. online play is all right, but dont go in if youre a rookie. The Native American addition is nice, but not necessary. The adding of the Persians brings in elephant units, which is also nice. You can also play in skirmish mode with the computer, and put in your own rules. So if you are a fan of RTS, you will likely enjoy this game, even with the same graphics. Its a great expansion. The original Rise of Nations and this game cost only 20 bucks, and well worth it. I give the game a 9.5 out of 10.
