Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome
Expansion is a history-based real-time strategy game in the
Age of
Empires series. It is based on the rise of the Roman Empire, and
adds the Roman Empire and three other playable civilizations to
Age of Empires.
New
features
The Rise of Rome features a new Roman architectural design, shared by all
four new civilizations, the Romans, Palmyrans, Macedonians and Carthaginians. Four new researchable
technologies have been added. Additional new features include five
new units, the ability to double click a single unit and highlight
others of the same unit-type and unit-build queuing. Pathfinding
for all units is also considerably improved.
Gameplay changes included adding larger maps and tweaking the
interface; such as adding unit queuing, using the period key to
cycle through idle villagers,[1]
balancing damage done by catapults, and increasing the population
limit.
New music was composed for this expansion, which replaced the
original score entirely.
Reception
Review website GameWorldNetwork gave the game a score of 93%,
and commented that it seemed to be a whole new game.[2]
