Rise of Nations

Subject: Rise of Nations Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:33 pm

Four hours... Four hours nothing else but RoN...

Phew, I was playing the game online with my friend and suddenly we realised it was only us and a hard level computer opponent left who had conquered over half of the map. But we took it down! Holy crap that was satisfying, I thought we would just give up as the computer seemed to have unlimited sources for military units.

I wish I had recorded that...

EDIT: Man, was I tired when I wrote this. Ahem, I must add that it's been a long while when I have just sat there playing some game for hours Very Happy

I have a beta version of it that a play quite frequently. I love bulding up to the most advanced level of civilization, then bringing on nuclear holocaust. lol!

I haven't and probably won't play this, just isn't my cup of tea. I do love getting a game that is really great that can be played for hours though, so congratz. Smile

I would definitely recommend it. Here's a DL for a free-of-cost trial. You can give it a try, no risk. If you like it, then great. If not, you haven't put any money into a game you didn't like.

Cnet is a reputable site. I've DLed lots of freeware from them and never had any virus or malware issues. And believe me, I'm paranoid over Internet security.

Thanks GL, but this just isn't the kind of game I like to play....at all.

That said, I'm a bit of a virusaphobic myself, but honestly, I feel like I have one anyway....you never know. Perhaps there are some tall tale signs I should look for.

So what? is it like civilization? I have never played either so I have no idea what the gameplay is like.

Is it point and click?

Or like Starcraft?!

It's like most strategy games, you build up your stuff and make an army. Try the trial GL linked to see for yourself. I would recommend it if you like strategy games. What I most like in this game are the diplomacy options, like making alliances and breaking them.

Thanks for suggesting this game it is amazing I purchased the RoN:gold edition
it is kind of similar to age of empire

Also I am paranoid about viruses also, I also think I might have when but end up not having one lol
I do a scan of a RAR before I open and also do a full comp scan after I download a full and at the start and end of everyday along with a anti rootkit scan as well, I know it's a far fetched but my comp scans fast and also better safe than sorry had a severe virus on my last pc that made my computer not have a system image so therefore couldnt get into factory restore or even past the boot menu :/
