DESCRIPTION

The distinct real-time strategy Rise of Nations receives a Big Huge expansion pack with the release of Thrones & Patriots. Developed at the Brian Reynolds-founded Big Huge Games studio, this add-on includes six new nations, 20 more units, a variety of new single- and multiplayer campaigns, and an important enhancement to the original game's governing system. The expansion pack's Government feature allows any nation to choose its system of government — a factor that can have major effects on resource management and unit performance. Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots is designed to bolster the main games' capacity for complex strategy and multi-tiered nation building, while maintaining the fast-paced race to global domination that helps the original stand out from the crowd of historically based RTS games. ~ T.J.
