Rise of Nations is a very good game. It brings The Art of War to your finger tips. You learn real-time war tactics along with the history of many nations. This game is educational as well as entertaining for the thinking mind.

Great game for begginers and old gamers alike. Easy to use and not a ton of commands.
 Don't buy this version if you want to play online August 22, 2009

This is a great game, but this particular edition is not what you should buy if you want to play with others (LAN or Internet). Despite the product image, this is the Ubisoft gold edition, which has version mismatch problems with other gold editions. It will not auto update to the same version as the normal Thrones & Patriots, so if you try to join a game you will get an error saying you need something like version 07.25.00.15705, even though the in game versions match.
There is a way around this which involves creating an ISO without the patch on the disc and using a No-CD executable, but it's a hassle and not worth it.
If you're going to play by yourself, this edition is fine. If you want to play with friends, look elsewhere (unless they all have the Ubisoft edition).
 Ubisoft version? Don't buy! December 24, 2009

I just want to support what Jeff B said about the Ubisoft version. I am having this exact issue when I play online. Either be sure to get the real "Gold" version or make sure that you and your friends all have the same version - all ubisoft or all gold.
It is a real dissapointment since Rise of Nations is a fantastic game. It is going on 5 years, yet there is an avid player community out there. Never has a Civilization-like game been so customizeable and replayable. Love, love the game. Hate the version issue. Now, I need to find the right version so my brother and I can play together.
Good luck.
