Rise of Nations is a complex real-time strategy game developed by Big Huge Games. Based in a historical context, it features gameplay from well before recorded history to the present spread across eight ages. The game is notable for its efforts at combining elements of traditional real-time and turn-based strategy games -- examples include the Conquer the World single player campaign, which plays like a game of Risk with a short game taking the place of rolling dice, and the concept of territories.
