Rise of Legends is a sequel to Rise of Nations. It inherited many aspects from RON, but added a new, most astonishing element, the concept of 3 races. Different races with unique units, heroes, researches, powers is not a new concept in other RTSs, but combined with the creative systems of RON and its modification has made another creative game play. ROL now has a good campaign mode. The story is a simple one, and the first appearance is similar with 'conquer the world' in RON. But it offers a different experiences with RON and skirmish and multiplay mode of ROL, because you can upgrade your units and heroes only in strategic map phase and you can use more, different heroes which are only enabled in campaign mode.
