In Rise of Nations, you'll create new cities, improve city infrastructures and expand national borders. Conquer foes through military might using everything from sling-shots to cannons to stealth bombers to nuclear weapons; corner the market on key commodities and consolidate power under your rule; wheel and deal across time with history's eminent cultures.
18 different nations comprise the Rise of Nations world. Each nation bears unique advantages over the others; sometimes offensive, sometimes defensive, sometimes economic.
6,000 years of human history unfold across 8 distinct epochs in Rise of Nations. Each of the 8 epochs in the game represents a time period from history in the real world. Key technological changes like the invention of gunpowder serve as lines between ages. As the game and your nation advance, you will have newer and more powerful units at your disposal.
