Rise of Nations: Alexander Campaign
June 10, 2010 Filed in: Video Games
For the past few weeks, I have been playing Rise of Nations. It is a classic real-time strategy game that plays a lot like Age of Empires with a bit of Civilization and Risk thrown in for good measure. I really like these historical RTS games. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings was a particular favorite of mine, so I really looked forward to Rise of Nations.
After playing the tutorials and a skirmish game, I was ready for the Conquer the World game mode. This is the real meat of the game for single-player action. I started with the first campaign, featuring Alexander the Great and the Macedonians. Once I got familiar with the controls and the basic mechanics of the game, I really enjoyed it. I successfully completed the Alexander campaign last Sunday. Next up is the Napoleon campaign.
