I loved that game 10 years ago. I couldn't go home again with the Age of Kings HD release, though. I wonder if I could recapture the magic with RoN.

Really?

I'm surprised the star police haven't been in here yet for that comment

Never played it due to it being RTS, but it always looked interesting. How does it rate on the 'click fest' scale?

[Gusington]

It can get clicky but much less so than other standard RTS games, and it has some strategic features like borders and city building that make it deeper.

One of my all-time faves, without question.  But I can't imagine getting enjoyment out of it now.  Will pass on this the same way I did on Age of Empires HD.

Hmm, I may have to try this...

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

You just want to have an extended edition.

The Cold War campaign was so enjoyable.

wow, played the hell out of that game when it came out years, ago - played coop against the ai going through every difficulty setting gradually, it was great fun but it came down to just being how fast you could do this ultimately - the weakness that RTS's games like this can fall prey to, where that overtakes strategy.
it perhaps was too much of a race to advance ones age more than anything, and then when it got to teh modern era it was just  swarms of tanks and nukes - it is perhaps better to play it with just setting to play over a couple of ages up to the 19th century - there is more strategy possible if you just stay on an age for longer.
the game was good for all the settings it offered

[Gusington]

^ I agree, I played it that way, similar to how I play Civ because modern era rarely interests me.

Released today

Nice...i hope they also release the sequel

The sequel (or rather the expansion) is included. Unless you mean Rise of Legends, which is a whole different game.

[Gusington]

^Now Rise of Legends is a fantastic game...probably one of my top ten!
