throne and patriots

Seems the" Conqer the World "has many new features this time around .Perviews have been giving this the thumbs up . I think it will be the best part the game.Cant wait to try out the Cold War scenario

Whoa. Now you're making me want to go back and play RoN all over again.

[Rohag]

EDIT - This is a RoN-related post.

The new historical campaigns are great, but I just want to caveat my previews (Napoleon and Cold War) - they are based on the Marketing Beta of a couple months ago and probably represent an even earlier stage in the expansion's development. Big Huge Games' Douglas Kaufman hinted at surprises in his designer diary at 1up.

I'm intrigued by the Chinese campaign in the game. It looks like it will be during the Cold War, which could be very interesting!

China was at various times, enemies of the USA, the USSR, and a good percentage of its neighboring countries during that time. I look forward to it.

(Although I still hope they'll put a JieFangJun unit in the game )

[Sovereign]

Hehe. Campaigns? w00t! Now we're getting somewhere!

[Alinestra Covelia]

For me, the main worry is that they've pretty much admitted that the Chinese campaign is the most rushed one of the bunch. I hope they won't be pressured to release it before the whole package is presentable.

I never knew that there were any campiagns in the game. There are single player missions? Where are they? I thought that the game was like alpha centauri with no missions just skrimish.

The campaigns are basically different CTW setups.

MP is just a newer version of AoK or EE. The single player (CTW) stuff is where this games rakes in kudos.

ron mp is not like aok or ee, you may draw that its like ee for one reason and thats it spans all ages but even that comparsion is superficial. And comparing it to aok is just stupid they have nothing in common

For various reasons I still havent purchased RoN (just played the demo a bit), now I'm waiting for a RoN - TaP gold version.

I must have scots blood

[mactbone]

Nothing in common? For god's sake they're both RTS!?! They both have civilizations, UUs, resource collection (many of the same resources too), the categories for combat units are extremely similar, etc.

AoK, EE, and RoN are very similar games. I know they have differences and can play differently but for the most part if you've played one you can play the others (not that you'd do well but you'd understand the concepts).

[Alinestra Covelia]

Is there any facility for writing your own CTW campaigns? I'm imaging somebody writing up the various points of engagement for the US forces in AFghanistan, pursuing the hit+fade terrorist forces from one location to the next. You would have a map of Afghanistan, split into provinces, and as you advanced, you'd have battlefields to fight on, some of which (Tora Bora, Kandahar) would be very tricky to strat for.

Essentially, like the single player campaigns in Command and Conquer, except that there's more of a supply and science feel.

[flash9286]

they are both rts, and they have the same basic elements every rts game has true. You play a fps and u know the basics for any other fps but do they play the same no. But they dont play the same in mp i have played aok and ron and there nothing similar about the two expect the basics.

[Sovereign]

The concepts = same.

Methods they are executed = different.

That simple.
