5.0 out of 5 stars "The Greatest Game You Never Heard Of"
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2013

One person said this a few years back about this game and I think it sums it up perfectly. This game suffered unfortunately from bad marketing, just look at anyone who gives this a bad review, their big complaint is it's not a sequel to Rise of Nations, and this is true.

It really is a shame this game is so overlooked, there was so much put into it, the graphics, units, buildings, spells are so detailed and unique to every aspect of the game, and I have to mention the soundtrack as well, it's simply amazing. To bad so many people seem unable to judge a game on it's own merits rather than complaining that it is not a successor to another game, I advise any fan of sci-fi or fantasy type games to buy this.

Here we have a great game, I never understood why players didn't liked such an awsome game, I loved to play this game borrowed from a friend, but my pc was very bad for it at that time, a few years after when I bought a better pc I bought this game too just to find out that wasn't possible to play it on-line anymore, I got a little bored, but the campaign is awesome too so the money wasn't totally lost, it have a good story, soundtrack, it's much fun and the graphics still good even for today standarts, so why this was so bad accepted by the players?

This is my first (not very useful) review so don't stone me... lol

Very annoyed. I received the regular Rise of Nations and not the Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. Due to me being overseas and unable to return it I had my wife contact customer service who have issues us a full refund where I can repurchase it from a different vendor. Very, very annoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic game, once you get past the network issues
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013

I really dig this game's graphics, game play, and game engine. The game has a steep learning curve and enough different styles between the three civilizations to make almost everyone happy: the Alin are a fantasy/magical/Persian-style race, the Vinci are steampunk/sci-fi/robotics, and the Cuotl are more of an Aztec/Inca style.

The hot keys are really straightforward, with the same QWER set for the first row, shift-QWER for the second, etc.. You can hover over everything to figure out its role, because everything is well documented. The units themselves aren't idiotic about pathing like in other RTS games.

There are fantastic heroes and special units (like the Alin's elder dragon in glass circles) that are well-rendered and really fun to play.

The only problem is that we lost hours of time to network issues even when connected via the same LAN. More than two players would always disconnect, and since there's no way to save a game, that would essentially abort the game, sometimes 40 seconds after starting. After fiddling with the windows firewall settings numerous times, we basically figured out that the windows firewall settings, beyond the pop up, have very little to do with this issue. All the ports were already opened in the router and we configured the firewall to let anything from Rise of Legends through using any protocol.

The BIG fix for this was to install MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 3 (Microsoft XML Core Services). We thought we didn't need this when running Windows 8, but we did, and it allowed 4 of us to play uninterrupted!

Despite that, we got many check-firewall-settings pop up boxes when trying to connect to the multiplayer game. When you get that, just be persistent and keep hitting ok (except checking for windows firewall pop-ups in the background); it should connect you after 3-5 pop-ups. I'm docking this review a star for this.

Also, it's a quick game for an RTS. Once it was working, games usually lasted 45 minutes to an hour. Once the balance tips, it's pretty decisive.

You might also want to know we had at least 3 copies running off a single disk install with a single key, playing the game together, so it's a pretty small financial investment to check it out. :)

If you're a fan of real time strategy, you haven't much to laugh in These times. But here's a little pearl from 2006 respectively the updated game from 2010. So - don't hesitate: a lot of fun, great story, great units and still really beautiful graphics. Even the soundtrack is amazing. One of my favourites, works without problems on Windows 7. If you have the opportunitiy to buy, do it.

Be careful when purchasing this item, I thought I would be receiving a copy of the game republished by Value Software which is pictured and I hoped would include the patch. I received a copy of the original game that must be patched manually with patches you must find yourself.

Jeu comportant 3 civilisation avec des histoires différentes, mais avec une campagne qui les réunis toute les trois. Jeu très interessant dont on ne se lasse pas et qui permet de se prendre pour un vrai dirigeant de pays.
