  • N reasons why u not playing RON...

    Don't make serious. I really like RON, greate game, but please think why these happen? wish BHG could see it...

    for newbie:
    u never heard of RON at all.
    u thought RON is AOE3, but it's not
    nobody told u about Directx9.0 or MSXML4.0 before, but u got the message, faint.
    "unsupported video card" make u confused, u don't know where to find the newly driver.

    for AO* series:
    u're so familiar with AOK's interface, got uncomfortable feeling to see Half-3D and low resolv implements.
    there is NO wall.
    u couldn't build first barrack just near rival's town.
    u got attrited while intrude into rival's territory.
    does the resource never exhaust?
    hardly to click/select ur unit very well, u got frustrate for u have the title of "clickfest".
    ancient rush group of heave infantry was killed by 3 archers.
    ancient rush with light infantry and archers was killed by villagers.
    couldn't pass through any forest.
    no heal unit, except use French or make wonder, suck.
    what kinds of "market, temple, and university" do? but ur rush makes no effect all due to them.
    is there must anything like "Great Wonder" that cost so much resource and labors?
    u found there're SURE something expensive than units, *the scientist*.
    u built ur first cavalry and catapult, but fould it's weak after a while.
    more unit means much expensive, u got angry.
    u couldn't develop anything in face at many cost things after few minutes.
    u were attacked by rival's marine sneak from sea.
    u got faint with all kinds of limit, commerce, population, and city number.
    u think it's tooooo complicate.

    for CIV series:
    u don't know there's PAUSE.
    u don't know how to adjust the game speed.
    it's not enough for 40 technologies and 20~30 upgrades.
    u can only build one town at beginning, and no more than 10 in the end, how could my "BOOM city strategy" do?
    u more like upgrade each building one by one.
    no diplomatic table like CIV3? couldn't exchange technology?
    u cannot keep up ur brain with ur hand.
    unit were bribed several times.
    u cannot handle so much units while enter Industry Age.
    no paratroop.
    no morale, and no fight experience could gained.
    not enough for only two wonders in each age.
    ages are short!!
    resource always useless at the end of game.
    u feel it's toooo simple, lack of depth.

    Other guys:
    only human being? no zerg, etc, ah? forget it , I'll back to WC3.
    how could compaign be made for only 200 units? see "Medieval" and "C&C General"!
    it's better graphic effect and streamline performance of AOM, also use 3D engine.
    XXX is classic RTS forever!

    Other truth:
    u never try any custom settings, just choose standard, a little boring.
    MP issues or GED message, unknow reason.
    few people on GameSpy than ever.
    guys more care about other games, posting in forum seldom update.
    TFT is out, crowd of people.
    short of document and information, lack of popularization, no good strategy guild.
    record game seems totally alike.
    1.03 public beta testing last so long time, I couldn't wait.
    looking forward to Xpack, highly expectation.

        Good list . I could see a lot of people having the same frustrations (I did).
        However, a lot of them are just bad habits that have to be unlearned...

        u couldn't build first barrack just near rival's town.
        Yeah, that was a bit of an exploit

        does the resource never exhaust?
        I hated that from AOE! But it doesn't take too long to get used to.

        u were attacked by rival's marine sneak from sea.
        Nothing wrong with that! Attack them back from the air

        u got faint with all kinds of limit, commerce, population, and city number.
        Kind of keeps the game going... you've solved one problem and another pops up.

        no diplomatic table like CIV3? couldn't exchange technology?
        There needs to be a new, faster diplomacy system in RTS. Maybe something like the buy/sell pop-out window in the upper left?

        u built ur first cavalry and catapult, but fould it's weak after a while.
        Climb the upgrade tree!

        more unit means much expensive, u got angry.
        Due to the rock-paper-scissors dovetail unit system, this kind of makes sense. If one type is getting too expensive, you know it's time to build another.

        Now watch this drive!

          yes, sure, most of above is the *FEATURE*,
          I suppose CIV fans enjoy more from this game than AO* guys (forget other types ), but there're still uncomfortable flaws even beyond this list.

          few player, small and silent community make this game in a hole now, I don't know if 1.03 could improve a little.
