Exsanguination
No longer here
I've been listening to Apolyton's audio interviews and checking out some sites on Rise of Nations and so far it pretty much looks like, to me, the perfect game. It is as though BHG has been lurking these forums and the ACS forums and taken everything Civvers want, and implemented them into RoN as an RTS. It is incontrovertible that this game is vey much like Civ, what with the resource/tech/unit system. The big difference I have seen so far is the city/national boundary idea, but I seem to like their version more. The idea that razing or capturing a city actually takes time is very appealing, and things like caravans and spies and the very intricate system of trade and economy is great. The only problem I have is that it is an RTS (I've played C&C and I hated it). RoN, however, is looking to turn many TBS players in RTS ones as well (ie ME). I will definitely buy this game the day it comes out. I love Cic3 and play it everyday, and this game just looks like Civ3 perfected and more.
Kudos to to the makers of RoN .
