Rise of Nations: Extended Edition

13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask

The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

[b]TL;DR: If you have a GTX 750 Ti as your GPU, this game might crash constantly. If you have another GPU, the game is actually really good and you should give it a try, as it feels like if Civilization had a baby with AoE. It has some really unique concepts for a RTS game.[/b] The game is great, but it kept crashing in some scenarios. Some maps worked just fine, but there were maps that gave me a constant influx of BSODs - and after 15 crashes, I still couldn't pinpoint what was causing the problem. Tried to increase the memory by applying the 4GB patch, tried rolling back drivers, tried verifying the integrity of the files, but nothing worked. Apparently it has something to do with my specific GPU, which is a bit dated - though it shouldn't have been a problem, since it was released around the same time that the Extended Edition was launched. I'll leave my specs in the review so you can compare whether it would work for you or not. Bear in mind that if you don't have this GPU, you might REALLY enjoy this game. It's a really unique RTS and it mixes many war concepts that other games of the genre do not have - like [b]historical age progression, national borders and attrition.[/b] Its campaign is also fun, with a system inspired by the board game RISK, incorporating cards and regional power that would have you start battles with advantages or disadvantages. I might get back to it in the future when I upgrade my graphics card and this review could get updated then. [b]Score: 7.5/10[/b] - [i]Memorable[/i]
