It’s the added complexity and context garnered from these new campaigns that keeps us coming back for more. Thrones and Patriots is a must-have expansion pack for every single person who owns Rise of Nations.
Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots blends so perfectly with the original game that it's hard to tell that you're even playing it.

This is the best strategy game I know of. Love it. Sure I can see it may not hold up today for all players. But for me its an old favorite.

Who can wonder a game that is a decade old with only simple 2D graphics could offer much entertainment even after few years. can believe that im still waiting to get bored with this game. imean, playing one session of 2-3 hours to get me tired and stopped, for a moment though. no more comments. this is a very good game!

The new nations offer up interesting variety and gameplay styles, while the new campaigns introduce the narrative drive and focus that the original campaign lacked. Thrones and Patriots is a highly enjoyable experience and an excellent expansion to an already outstanding game.
Deepening the strategic possibilities is key to making a strategy title more fun, and T&P goes the extra mile to make sure that it delivers a more engaging experience than is possible without the expansion installed. [July 2004, p.121]
A solid foundation of accessible gameplay with a number of new features that helps to invigorate the entire gaming experience.
With multiple playable sides in each campaign, and an option to completely randomize the world history campaign, there's single-player gaming galore in here. [July 2004, p.63]
With some new features and a shift in focus, I think that Thrones and Patriots has earned its place under the category of "Darn Good Expansion Pack."
With civilization 4, it's the game wicht i have played the most and when now I play at this game, I unterstand why. The editor of map is very good ( this is the best I have ever seen )

Rise of Nations is a fantastic RTS with great features. Government is an addition added in this expansion that adds a nice layer of gameplay to an already great game. Many new civilizations are added in the expansion pack on top of the ones already there, each with their own special power. The Conquer the World Campaigns are fun and challenging, and teach you a few things about history too. This is a great game and an essential game for any strategy fan.

Although the gameplay is similar to a lot of games the engine and customization is vastly superior to many aaa titles out there even to today's standards. Eg. You can create unique challenges and place all units where you want them (recreate historical fights), change the stats of certain units to rebalance a story, download 100s of mods and scenarios to keep things fresh. Much more replayability than similar titles
