Best RTS ever? Absolutely!
User Rating: 10 | Rise of Nations PC
Probably the best and most intuitive and innovative RTS game ever made. Its what Age of Empires 3 should have been back in 2003. National borders, conquer the world (Risk map), advancement from stone age through Technology age... wow! From slingers to stealth bombers, from bow and arrow to ICBMs, Knights on horse back to armored tanks. Play in the ancient world, to the roman world, to the medieval world, to the age of gun powder, to the battles of world war 2, to the current age, and then beyond to missile shields, stealth bombers and nukes. This RTS has everything and every historical time on earth you could ever want to play through.
If only the developer, Big Huge Games, would release an update so it could work with Windows 7. This game is the reason i still have my old Windows XP computer. The graphics were amazing by 2003 standards, and even today look decent (2012). Hopefully this game will be updated to modern-day graphics. But I would say that RoN is better than any Age of Empire game ever made.
