About This Game

Rise of Nations

Rise of Nations is a real-time strategy game that spans all history.
Start with a single city in the Ancient Age; gather resources; build an infrastructure; research technologies; construct Wonders of the World such as the Pyramids and the Eiffel Tower; and expand your military might across the world, conquering hostile nations with bombers, battleships, and tanks—all over your lunch hour!

In Rise of Nations there are:

• 18 Nations—each with special abilities and unique military units.
  
• Over a hundred military units operating on the ground, sea, and air— from Hoplites to Frigates to Helicopters.
  
• Over two dozen buildings with upgrades and technologies that will take your nation from a small City to an Information Age society.
  
• 14 Wonders of the World—the Terra Cotta Army, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower. Each gives your nation special bonuses.
  
• More than a dozen map types, ranging from the Amazon Rainforest to the Himalayas to the Nile Delta.
