In some ways it's harder to develop an expansion for a great game. The original Rise of Nations offered a compelling but approachable mix of turn-based concepts and real-time gameplay that garnered critical awards as numerous as they were well-deserved. Figuring out how to expand on a game that offered the chance to conquer the world, from ancient times to the present day, as one of 18 highly unique but remarkably balanced nations has got to be a hard task.
Thankfully, the big, huge heads over at Big Huge Games have found a way to add more to the title in terms of numbers and features. The team has added six to the existing 18 nations, incorporated a Civ-like concept of governments, and narrowed the focus of the Conquer the World campaign to make it more approachable. Though undeniably attractive, these additions aren't necessarily tied together around a central theme -- unless you count 'some different new stuff we've added' as a theme. Even the title, Thrones and Patriots is relatively generic.
Still, there is a method to this madness. The inclusion of three new North American nations -- the Lakota, Iroquois and Americans themselves -- helps to offset the European and Asian focus of the previous game. The three South American nations can't hold up an entire hemisphere, after all. Persians and Indians give Big Huge a chance to reintroduce the elephant units that were cut from the first game. The Dutch seem harder to reconcile but nevertheless offer a nation that's reasonably balanced across land and sea.
As with the core game, the nations here are all remarkably distinct but evenly balanced. The Indians are able to build larger settlements more cheaply and have four different versions of the war elephant. The Persians also get elephants but differ from the Indians in having a second capital and some unique economic bonuses. The Lakota and Iroquois are different as well but both a penchant for guerilla war and raiding tactics. The Dutch have some significant economic bonuses not least of which are armed caravans that can fend off enemy attacks. The Americans, one of the most requested of all nations (we rock, after all), have some interesting economic bonuses and some killer military units in the later ages.
But while the new nations seem plenty cool, it's the new Conquer the World campaigns that really sell the expansion. While the open-ended, conquer as you please model of the previous game was engaging, it was a bit too open in my opinion and suffered as a result. This time around, you'll have four more localized campaigns that use the same Conquer the World mechanics in a much more comprehensible scope.
There are four new campaigns here. Most allow gamers to conquer a smaller slice of the world: Alexander the Great wrestles with the Persians and other Mediterranean powers, Napoleon fights back against the European allies, and the European nations battle with both natives and colonists in the New World. You can pick any of the sides in these conflicts but some of the players (the Persians or the American colonists, for instance) offer a bit more fun than others. The only truly worldwide campaign pits the Americans and Soviets against each other in a Cold War scenario.
There's a range of choices to be made within each mission as well. As Alexander tries to subdue the city-states of Greece, he's given the choice of razing or incorporating conquered capitals. Razing them might just steel your remaining enemies against you. Then again, it might give them cause to question their motivations in this war and switch their allegiance to you automatically. While these types of choices aren't present in every mission of every campaign, they do allow the player to guide their own experience through the game.
