• A strategic territory system where more land means greater resource income
• Over a dozen distinct civilizations to play as, each with unique attributes

• Innovative Conquer the World campaign mode spanning all epochs of human history

With its sprawling gameplay covering 6,000 years of human history, intricate strategic and tactical depth, and emphasis on empire building over combat, the Rise of Nations series stands out as one of the most acclaimed RTS franchises in PC gaming history.
