Rise of Nations: Extended Edition invites players to take command of a civilization and guide it through the vast span of human history, from the ancient world to the modern digital era. Unlike traditional real-time strategy games that focus on isolated battles or limited eras, Rise of Nations blends the scope of turn-based strategy with the pace and intensity of RTS gameplay. Your journey begins with a single city, but with careful planning, military strength, and technological advancement, you'll forge a global empire.

This extended edition includes both the original Rise of Nations and its acclaimed expansion, Thrones and Patriots, delivering a massive amount of content in one package. You'll have access to 18 unique civilizations, each with distinct units, strengths, and national powers. Americans with their rapid modernization or the Mongols with their mobile warfare tactics, are just two examples of what the different nations offer you in the game. Every nation offers a new way to play.

Territorial expansion is the core of the experience. Cities, borders, and resource control are all vital to success, making the map itself a strategic element. Players must manage resources wisely, invest in research across eight different ages, and construct world wonders that provide significant bonuses and turn the tide of war. Victory can be achieved through military conquest, technological supremacy, or cultural dominance, offering multiple paths to global domination.

Rise of Nations: Extended Edition enhances the classic experience with visual improvements, including upgraded textures, advanced lighting, and enhanced water effects. Modern features like Steamworks integration bring achievements, trading cards, cloud saves, and seamless multiplayer matchmaking with ELO-based rankings. Twitch streaming is built in, making it easy to share your gameplay with the world. Rise of Nations delivers strategic depth and replayability. The game remains a favorite among RTS fans thanks to its unique blend of real-time tactics and long-term strategy.
