Rise of Nations vs Tropico Reloaded
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.
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
