Microsoft announces expansion pack

[vovan]

Called Rise of Nations: Throne and Patriots.

Originally posted on Gamespot
The expansion pack will include six more new playable nations to the original game's total of 18, along with more than 20 new units, and new features, like the expansion's new campaigns and its government system. The government system will let each nation in the game determine for itself how it will be governed--a decision that will affect its development over the course of history. The new campaigns will include scenarios based on real-world historical engagements.

Rise of Nations: Throne and Patriots is scheduled for release in Spring 2004. For now, you can take a first look at the expansion in the screenshots linked to the right.

Hehe. I was surprised noone had posted this yet. That's a pretty big announcement, I thought. Then again, the 'Poly RoN community has never been too active...

I cunningly hid the link in the word "Gamespot".

Oooh. Cunning. So cunning some might call it stupid.

Governments!

Now if they would also spice up the Diplomacy ... (yes, I know it's an RTS, but still ...)

Sounds great, can't wait
