Rise of Nations vs Total War: Attila
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.
Total War: Attila
Total War: Attila is relatively new addition to the Total War franchise that is set in the great steppes of the East where a warrior king is rallying up a massive army that would sweep across continents, burning cities as they go. In this game, you play as the commander of western Roman empire whose territories are coming under attack from both outside and inside. Starting with vast swathes of land, your hold over what's left of a crumbling Roman empire will gradually become a struggle for your very survive.This game has similar and iconic mechanics to most Total War games, but there are some important changes made, such as a reworked politcal system, family tree, civic management and technological progression. There are a few significant additions as well, including the incredibly strategic Raze option, allowing you to use the power of fire to terrify defenders or utterly scour entire villages or cities from the face of the Earth. Best yet, Total War: Attila can even serve as some form of educational game as every detail in the game are meticulously recreated based on actual historical documents and references.
Of course, let's not forget to point out how gorgeous the graphics and how realistic everything look and feel in Total War: Attila. It's just incredibly immersive and who know, you might even learn a thing or two about world history!
