Rise of Nations: Extended Edition

Absolutely Love this game!
Played it back in high school forgot how great it is, in some ways I like it better than AoE Franchise.

If your a fan of those type of games I highly recommend! Oldie, but classic!

Fantastic, classic RTS, if you enjoy RTS and think you would enjoy a classic (older) one that stretches from dark ages (slingers..) --> information era (AI army, nukes, etc.)

Childhood nostalgia is a real thing and this game delivers. From the Ancient Age to the Information Age and all the various campaigns in between, truly an amazing game to play. Only downside is the multiplayer mode is sketchy. Then again, this game is old so there is that. 10/10

Old school, yet still uniquely playable

This game is so shit
It's bad
Don't play it lol

I gave it a good review though because I owe the dev some money and I will never pay shit

This game is old and I still play it. For its time one of the best games ever!

Constant Crashes!!! Avoid this game on new computers. It crashes sometimes after 30 minutes of gameplay, sometimes only a few minutes of play time. I tried everything listed online that might work, but nothing really fixes anything.
I loved this game growing up, and would love to be able to play this again, but this isn't supported anymore.

good game but doesn't work most of time now even at lan

The game crashes after a while of playing. you don't get to even half of a quick battle.

IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER (trust me i have 600+ hours on it)

it seems to be a very busy game so far.

An interesting strategy game. Definitely recommended.

If you are into RTS games then this is a must buy. If you aren't RTS games then this is still a must buy.

Lieliska Age Of Empires 2 alternatīva

Basically an AoE game, they're all good

The best, get my strategy fix in without having to spend hours to get to a good stop point hahahahaha

lots of bugs

this is the best RTS game in the world, best ever made. Period. I would pay an endless amount of money for sequel

I honestly got the game to fulfill childhood nostalgia and it still hasn't disappointed me in the many years this game has existed. It's a nice little strategic war game with many options of play. Not sure if many people still play online but it gets pretty competitive from what i remember. It can set a real challenge or offer a more casual experience, player's choice. Some mechanics are a little wonky but nothing crazy where it affects game play once you figure it out. 9/10

Love this game, arguably one of the best rts games out there. I've spent countless hours playing single player late at night. Wish I could give a 50/50 review because the multiplayer just seems to not like me or my friend. We will get in a game and everything's cool, we will play for about 45 mins to an hour before a thing will pop up on both of our screens that says we are waiting for each other and it never goes away. So we just sit there waiting and waiting and nothing happens and we end up having to QUIT the game that we were just playing for at least an hour. Nothing we do fixes it and it's really upsetting lmao. How can a 20+ year old game not support a multiplayer match with 2 people and bots. Please god almighty fix this issue, it shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Great game if you intend on playing solo, but beware of multiplayer. We were only able to play ONE full game. That's it, the rest of them had to be quit because of the popup. Can't find anything online either in regards to fixing the issue.

edit: Found a fix, revert to old beta

I liek this game very muchh. pls boss i have cancer hab u seen an alien pls..

This is probably my favorite RTS of all time :)

The most engaging game for me!! Thumbs up!!

This was one of the coolest games, and although I've only got 5 hours on Steam, I played this game almost daily for at least two years starting when it came out.

This was the first game that I ever played on flat-screen monitor. This was the first game I ever played at a Net-Cafe in a LAN-party with a bunch of other sweaty gamers.

Sadly, it hasn't held up very well against modern titles. If you want to buy it for the sake of nostalgia, you might boot it up for a match or two -- but sadly I think it's time to let it go, for me.

this game is a proof of perfect RTS existance

this game is my child hood war games and it is still to this day my fav war games of all time!!!!!!

very underrated RTS game that should get a better remaster than the current one that's riddled with bugs but still very playable. The Conquer the world campaign is very fun and I wish there were more of it. Hopefully people would notice this hidden gem of a game more than it's roblox namesake

My childhood favourite game and still great game to play now.

Sometimes crash after finishing or exiting the game, I really enjoy that

Good RTS game probably the best one

It's a great very fun game that I'v been playing for a long time.

It's an absolute classic game. Get ready for the nukes!!

These games are all the same basically but this one does not have priests or/and prophets that have special powers that come around.

Don't buy!! Causes continuous hard crashes (seems to be a widespread issue)

Great game, me and the family enjoying playing this frequently

Very similar to Age of Empires but with more depth and ages to progress through. Unfortunately it is nowhere near as refined with very clunky controls and quite a lot of bloat with things like upgrades as you develop your nation.

The gameplay ultimately becomes bogged-down with too much going on especially through ongoing research plus the annoying controls add to the frustration. AoE is far more polished plus matches are way more enjoyable with a far simpler array of buildings, research and upgrades to conduct.

Rise of Nations tries to combine Age of Empires with Civilization and it just doesn't come together very well with a lack of quality and just way too many elements that make the experience unenjoyable for what it is trying to be.

This a great timeless game. I just wish Microsoft supported the game more with add-ons etcetera...

It's not a new game but it does have decent graphics and can be played in a few hours. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic remake of the original, everything you could ask for. If you love RoN, get it. Now to wait for Rise of Legends remastered.

I like that it doesn't require much from my laptop, that it is vibrant, interesting units, fun mechanics, engaging campaign.

Sorta repetative once you've played a few hundred hours, so I recommend playing w/ friends to maximise challenge and enjoyment

Cheats are fun if you don't have time to play the right way.

Nukes are balanced

I love the flame throwers. Not going to lie, I wish I could build an army of just them and burn everything to the ground but alas, it is not a viable statigem.

This is a classic RTS that I can't recommend enough. The campaigns are fun but the most fun I've had is just battling AI in skirmishes. Pitting nation against nation.

Having played all the original Age of Empires since release, Rise of Nations has become, for quite a few years now, the game I keep returning to. This Steam version runs well and retains all the original features that made it so good plus there are a few small tweaks that have improved it, Highly recommended.

Old school game that i used to play with my brother via LAN. just now getting back on it and man.... we still love it in our 30's.

Simple, fun, uncomplicated. One of the best RTS games out there!

This is definitely one of my favourite games of all time. Played this for years and had to get the extended edition when i came across it on steam. Love that i can still play it years after initial release too.

If you're looking to play this with friends, Don't bother with this slop, ever since local play has been removed the multiplayer has become a absolute buggy and non-functional mess. It is heartbreaking to see what this game has become thanks to Microsoft. Mods have also been broken with the latest update, Sail the seven seas instead.

I have only played for three hours and wow this game is so good I went from medieval peasants to the Russian-Ukraine war within the span of an hour and 15 minutes. fighting wars against a foe during industrial era and then fighting them again when you both have advanced more is the coolest shit ever, this game is so good please buy it

3 hours? Hehe on Steam maybe. I grew up with this game. My first RTS ever since 2003-2004 I think.
Nowadays kids can not play games like this because they need to think a lot :D

Rise of Nations is one of my favorite strategy games. It’s a perfect mix of history and gameplay that keeps you coming back. Expanding your nation and advancing through ages feels so rewarding. I also love how you can focus on both military and economy to win. The game runs really well, and there’s always something exciting to do. If you enjoy strategy games, you need to try this one!

This is a classic RTS that is just fun. Something about the unique classes and monuments make it fun to play. I'm fond of taking "native" or lesser known nations to dominate the globe. I always come back to it years later.
