Rise of Nations is a real-time strategy game that spans all history.

18 Nations—each with special abilities and unique military units.
Over a hundred military units operating on the ground, sea, and air— from Hoplites to Frigates to Helicopters.
Over two dozen buildings with upgrades and technologies that will take your nation from a small City to an Information Age society.
14 Wonders of the World—the Terra Cotta Army, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower. Each gives your nation special bonuses.
