>Its been 19-20 years since it released>TWO DECADES>Yet game is still not for sale in Steam or GOG.WHY? I want to buy it again, and the possibility of a remaster, even if small.And I want to state this FACT: Rise of Legends is superior to its predecessor. There, I said it.
>>2240445Rise of Nations is skillful high IQ gameplay with deep strategy and historical themes. Rise of Legends is a joke compared to this. It makes a mockery of the franchise and killed it.If you like Rise of Legends, then you are everything wrong with strategy gaming and all of gaming as a whole. The dumbing down and nonsense childish fantasy like a child smashing toys together.
>>2240461>childish fantasy like a child smashing toys together.And that is exactly what strategy games are and should be. The moment some people tried to make them something they aren't, like say, some type of competitive sport, is when this genre went to hell.
>>2240461>Rise of Nations is skillful high IQ gameplay with deep strategygr8 b8 m8. i r8 it 8/8
>>2240445Glad I bought a retail copy years ago before it was too lateYou can find it on certain abandonware sites though so who cares Its an ok game, I like that its not just the typical lotr type fantasy.
>A fourth faction was planned during development, called the Kahan>Eastern europe/viking mystic nomads from the cold steppes from the north called the Beastlands (Pic related was the scrapped map of Aio with the Kahan planned being north of the Alin desert)>The unique gimmick of Kahan was supposed to be mobile cities on the backs of giant animals, with a strong Asian steppe nomad aesthetic, and having a strong spiritual theme as opposed to the magical Alin, technological Vinci, and magitek Coatl.>They possessed a number of "undead" or spirit units, with Cairns and standing stones, and Yontash, in the retail game, retains abilities associated with stealing souls and the Void. Additionally, an unused unit flag for "undead" units exists in the files. I wish modders bother to revive this faction.
>>2240445It's fucking criminal you can't get it on places like Steam and GOG.>>2240461Jokes on you arse. I like both for different reasons.Your bait is low quality.
>>2241200Now that's an interesting faction.But how would those mobile cities function? As in they can move in the vicinity of a province they are settled in? Or would they simply move out of said provinces and move around the map?If the latter, then that would've been game-breaking since city defenses do add some punch to cities. So the Kahan player would waltz in with his army...AND his cities and go on a conquest spree.
>>2240445>Russian version of the game>Wants to buyJust pirate it, you retard>>2240461Here is the (You)
>>2241336probably something like night elf buildings in wc3
>>2240445>WHY?last i heard the rights were in the hands of who the fuck knows so it's trapped in limbo forever
>>2240461Holy shit kill yourself
>>2240445>Oh no, I can't pay for a game!
I want to eat Arri's dark ass
>>2240445>and I want to state this FACT: Rise of Legends is superior to its predecessor. There, I said it.Unironically RoN is kind of a bad game. They pretty much just took civ and made it an RTS, which the entire reason why civ works is because it's not an rts. There are waaaaaaay to many resources and things to manage in ron and the fact new resources unlock as you age up makes it worse. A lot of the ages as well feel pointless and don't add enough to make it feel like you are actually progressing. RoL is factually better in every way.
>>2254509Yeah true. I hate how everything's limited by something else.Can't have a big army because prices rise the more units you have, can't get more resources because of commerce limit cap, it's like someone played AoE2 and decided to fuck it up.RoL does not have the same "autism appeal" of an historical setting and giant late game battles but imo it's much more fun even though I do some RoN compstomps every once in a while just so I get to nuke people.
>>2241200You can really see how rushed the game was when you play the campaign. The Vinci campaign was mostly unique scenarios with 1 or 2 generic skirmishes, the Alin campaign was a 50/50 split, and the Cuotl campaign was mostly generic skirmishes with 1 or 2 unique scenarios.
>>2254826Yep. They bit off way more than they could chew. It's sad, really.
>>2254600I really don't mind the limitations, specially for resources given how it's unlimited. I prefer units just become more expensive as not onlt does that generally make sense to me but also a better compromise than what WC3 did with taxes.
>>2254185>The Poor has something to say
>>2240445Remaster would be dope if it adds cut content.
>>2269311a fools hope. They were absorbed by THQ years ago and probably no assets exist anymore, let alone within reach of the guys who made it.Embrace the doom.The abandonware is all we've got
>>2254408Based>>2241200Holy fucking based! Jannies, fund this !!
>>2240445My main issue with the game is how tedious the campaign becomes.For some reason they decided that it should be 95% mirror matches.
