1. Explanation of Game
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rise of Nations is a real time strategy game from Big Huge games. In it you
take control of a nation and try to build up its economic and military
strength so you can crush your enemy. You can forge alliances, declare war,
and trade with other nations as you try to build up your nation as the best.
Rise of Nations Gold Edition is the original Rise of Nations, and the
Thrones and patriots expansion pack combined together.
1a. Explanation of Guide
In Rise of Nations you are able to build many different kinds of buildings
and produce many different units throughout the course of the game. These
buildings let you conduct research, gather resources, and produce units.
The units in the game allow you to fight battles and defeat the enemy units.
This guide will explain in detail everything you could ever need or want to
know about each building and unit in the game.
1b. Building Explanation
There are 2 types of buildings, military, and civilian. Military buildings
mostly produce units for use in combat, the fortress has research available
that raises its hitpoints and other stats. Civilian buildings are used for
many things, almost all of them have research available to help you in some
way. I list only the cost to build the first building of that type, every
time you build another of the same building the cost goes up. Also the Hit
points of buildings go up with certain types of research. I will only be
listing the starting health.
1c. Wonder Explanation
A wonder can only be built once per game. There are 14 Wonders you can build
total. If two players are building the same Wonder at once then whichever
player finishes building first keeps the wonder. In conquer the world mode you
can build a wonder by buying or wining a Wonder of the World bonus card, to
play this card just click on it and Select the territory you want to place the
wonder in, then just choose the Wonder you want to build. If you have built a
wonder with a Wonder Of The World bonus card you must research the first 4
civic technologies to activate Its effects, also this can only be done in a
conquest style map. You can only build one wonder per city except for some
special situations. If a wonder is destroyed it cannot be re-built, so you
should defend them well.
1d. Unit Explanation
There are also 2 kinds of units, Military and Civilian. Military units allow
you to fight battles, capture buildings, and defeat enemy units. These units
are the basis of Rise of Nations. The other kind is Civilian units, these
units let you build structures, gather resources, use rare resources, and
trade between towns and nations. Also the Hit points of units go up with
certain types of research. I will only be listing the starting health.
