Features
Let's talk about the features of Age
of Empires. There are many of them worth mentioning. So
here we go:
4 Civilizations Added
Age of Empires Expansion: The Rise of Rome adds 4 new civilizations.
All of them are well known in ancient history. They are the Palmyra,
Macedonians, Romans, and Carthaginians.
New Single Player Campaigns
There are four different single
player campaigns that have been added. All of them deal with the
Romans who are now the major force in the game next to the Greek.
New Map Types
A few new map
types have been added as well. These include the mountainous
highlands, large island, Mediterranean, and peninsula. Also there is
a new gigantic map size option available.
4 Techs Added
There are four new technologies added
to the game. These include logistics, martyrdom, medicine, and
tower shield. Logistics cuts the price of barrack units in half,
martyrdom allows you to instantly convert unit by sacrificing a
priest, medicine increases priests healing rate, and tower shield
adds one in armor for infantry toward siege missile weapons.
New Music Tracks
Yep some more great music has been
added to the game which is a plus in my opinion. It sounds great and
goes along with the game play.
Unit Queuing
Unit queuing adds the ability to
queue the production of units. This is very handy! Now you don't
have to wait for a unit to be completed before creating another one.
