Rise of Nations vs The Battle of Polytopia
Rise of Nations
Rise of Nations is one of the most iconic yet somewhat underrated, completely unique real-time strategy game that is possibly inspired by games like Risk. Unlike most games where you simply build bases, amass armies and send them to destroy your opponents, Rise of Nations has more of a diplomatic and governing aspect that allows you to forge alliances and break them, as well as a series of Wonders of the World which, when built, will grant your nation unique bonuses. Aside from a ton of maps, the game also has a comparably wide variety of nations, each with their own special abilities and special military units, for you to play as.Although the gameplay in each individual battles are set in real time, the gameplay for the world map view is turn-based, supplemented with ability cards. There are also valuable resources that you can capture to give your nation certain perks. Best of all, you can immerse yourself in historical battles via the game's campaign which consisted of multiple scenarios or you can test your mettle by playing the game via its online multiplayer mode.
Rise of Nations is one of the best classic strategy games that definitely had managed to not only withstand the test of time but also thrive, somewhat, in today's day and age. If you're a fan of nation-building, this is a game you should most certainly play.
The Battle of Polytopia
The Battle of Polytopia is a fun turn-based strategy game that has a really unique art style and is the flagship game of the small indie game studio in Sweden, Midjiwan. Choose any of the tribes available and set off on an exciting adventure across a rich and diverse world filled with places to explore, and areas to claim for your empire. Best yet, the game generates a random map whenever you start a new game, giving you literally unlimited replayability.Since its release, The Battle of Polytopia has been really well-received, rocketing the small indie company to substantial fame, which admittedly is a pretty high feat, especially for a company's first game. So, if you are a fan of turn-based strategy games, you'll want to try this game out.
