Rise of Nations - On Steam Now!

Rise of Nations is a game I spent pretty much my entire childhood wasting away on. Genuinely, it is probably the best game I have ever played, in terms of sheer hours put in and enjoyment I continued to get out of it. For the past few years, it's been nigh impossible to get a legal copy of one, and the multiplayer hardly worked due to GameSpy's inadequacies. Thankfully, Steam has bought the right to distribute it, and it will be available on the Steam Store in June! Game is 20/10, highly recommended.

The steam version will be selling the 'Extended Edition,' which is to say both Rise of Nations (the base game) and its expasion 'Thrones and Patriots.' Included in this release will be fully supported steam integration, minor visual improvements, and overall fixes to both multiplayer and the game itself.

Haven't seen/played this in so long.
I won lots of things, I came 2nd and 3rd in lots of things, I guess I did some other shit too........ I'm also an FSE legend, probably most commonly described as a cunt. If the shit I do doesn't make sense in your head, well fuck you because it makes sense in mine.

Which i did, against known and reputed player, some of them considered legend, such as, Mandarin, Ledger, Tiberias, Herishey, Hokej, Troister, Axiom, Evanovic, Stark, Eddie, Jammo, Bagins, Freddie, Python. I didn't had a good relationship with most of them, but i congratulate them for what they did, and i had pleasure facing them.

Never got the expansion as it was always too expensive to buy on Amazon. Looking forward to this.

I've got the CD for the gold edition, but it's so scratched up that the computer doesn't even recognize there's a CD in the disk drive. This steam version, therefore, is a miracle.  ;D

Wow! When I was a young sperm cell I used to make my own Europe map on the map editor, place all the countries, and play! Super good fun!
