Rise of Nations Windows game

before you talk about history, take into account that your view of all american technology is warped as you are probably british and have not left your own country. the german tanks DID own everyone in world war 2. the reason they lost is because they were stretched too far too thin and the american entry into the war was at the perfect time and the germans were overwhelmed. the sherman tank was NOT as tough as some seem to think it was. it was lightweight and had an array of mechanical problems. the advantage to the allies with the sherman was that it was mass produced, making tank parts easy to exchange. the german panzers were not mass produced and were very complex, therefore making it diffucult and took a long time to repair. the A-10 Warthog is a ground assault plane. It has a gatling gun that would make the weak tea drinking british crap their pants. That gun is placed in the nose. This gun is very effective against human flesh and what Sadaam found very frustrating (and scary) TANKS. The reason for this effectiveness is a wall of very fast moving very very hot lethal metal would come at you if this plane ever fired on you. World war 2 battle ships and the dreadnoughts were not as accurate as you would like to think. True, they had large shells, but human error is a big drawback. It would be very difficult for a battleship to take out a redoubt anyways. There is an old saying: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS. that means you can lie about the war because you won and the enemy isnt there to prove you wrong. This game is one of the best and the most accurate i've played. If you get a chance, BUY IT.

A History Based RTS that attemps to mix the Turn Base Giant of Civilization with Age of Empires and Empire Earth. Pretty interesting formula. Best result from its unique design was the territory system. The game itself is good, but for Historical Accuracy? Ew... not exactly the greatest in any matter. How can the p-38 Lightning be included as a unique unit called the Hawk Fighter? And the Eagle Fighter is a bloody A-10 Thunderbolt; an Army Air Support Fighter that CANNOT Attack Ground unless its equiped with 2 Side Winder Missles =/. The American's dont have the M1 A1 Abrams tank, making the Info Age Tank for the Germans own everyone, Which is SOO wrong; and for some reason EVERYONE can Build the B-2 Spirit; the AMERICAN ONLY Stealth Bomber. There are also a few Tactical Inaccuracies aswell. Fusilers for example should be a front line Formation soldier, not back line; Dreadnaughts and Battle Ships shoot f'ing pebbles for bullets instead of 18 pounders ATLEAST... its real gay.
I'd reccomend this game to any RTS gamer n' thoes who are looking for some thing to add with EE or their AoE series. In my opinion, the game is too fast. You rush through ages so quickly that you hardly get to enjoy the eras involved til' ur alrdy nuking ur enemies. Cuts down on the game's worth of playing again later on BADLY. If you do single age combat, the game is too limited. Over All these little things everyone over looks begins to eat the game alive. I stopped playing it within 2 weeks but do enjoy good 1hr skirmishes with my brother every once in'a while.

Actually, i just learned that this game runs on the Halo engine, which is immensley powerful for RTS (after all, Halo was going to be an RTS, but they changed their minds, so now its an FPS)
So this is actually a very good game to mod. I'm working on one right now, im eliminating the population limit. its a TC, if anyone wants to help PM me. Although my PC is down, and al i have is a Mac, so i cant mod for a while o_0

u kidding? this game pwns.

hmm that game look cool but i like idea of the rise of nation 2 ;)

I can't wait for the next one, Rise of nations rise of legends :D:D:D
