Overview
Description

Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots expands the classic RTS formula with new nations, campaigns, and a deep multiplayer experience. Players command armies across centuries, balancing economic growth, technology research, and tactical warfare. The expansion adds fantasy elements and refined mechanics, delivering both single‑player campaigns and robust multiplayer modes for competitive and cooperative play.

The Nations is a real‑time strategy adventure where you choose one of three distinct races – the Pimmons, the Amazons, or the Sajikis – and guide them from humble beginnings to a thriving nation. Manage each individual’s habits and characteristics, expand your territory, discover new lands, and engage in strategic combat to dominate rivals.
