TAKING DOWN THE RUSH
(2 June 2003, 18:53 | RoN) Those Rise of Nations players who are experiencing extended difficulties with the in-game rushes that present themselves during the game`s Ancient and Classical Ages may find a resolution to their worries on Rise of Nations Pantheon.
Personally I don`t mind rushing [--] I think it gives me an even better chance to win the game (puts me up at least one age, if not two), writes the tipster, `Heaven`s Myst`. Most times that someone loses to a rush is they get that little voice in there head that says "Ahh crap, he`s got all this army and I have nothing -- I`m dead!" when in fact you`re not. Remember to garrison, keep the econ flowing, and then exterminate when you have the numbers or know he isn`t concentrating on the attack. - DanQ
