Game: Rise of Nations

Rise of Nations is a real-time strategy game developed by Big Huge Games. The game is about the history of mankind, you play the game from ancient-age until modern-time technology.

This game allows you to build cities, create armies, trading, create market, universities. Your job is to expand your national borders by creating more cities and to do various research. Researching allows you to gain more knowledge. There are a number of fields you should researched in order to improve your nations.

This game allows you to play with 18 different nations and each nations have their own advantages. Playing as the japanese will allow you to have the Samurai, while playing as British will give you the advantage of having the King’s long bowmen (during the medieval age). You can find out more about the availabe nations at the Nations profile on the game’s official website.

I enjoyed attacking other nations and taking over them. I also developed a nuclear weapon which I enjoyed using in case I’m too lazy to wait for my armies to developed.

I’ve been playing this game most of the time for the last 48-hours. The game is developed for Microsoft Windows, so no macintosh or linux version. I plan to play this game with my friends (multiplayer) this weekend.
