 Great game but not very innovative..., Aug 2, 2023
It plays and looks much like Age of Empires. The reason that it's way better, however, is how far you can advance (in ages). Fighting modern warfare with tanks and missiles is very exciting. I also like the territory expansion; it's more thought out than in AOE.
The population limit needs to be removed, though. It's way too easy to fill the pop. with citizens.

 From an old AOE fan, Jun 4, 2023
Well, ever played Age of Empires? I bet a lot of you have. I have played it for a long time, and then, sadly, got bored of it. I needed another historical RTS game. Well, my friends, here it is, RON gold. This game, to me, is like AOE on steroids.
Oh yeah, that guy that said it freezes up a lot, I have a G4 lappy and it works FINE, NO LAG on mine, there is probably a technical error on the game, or in your computer.
Gameplay- 9/10 Basically like AOE gameplay, except with twists to it.
Of course you build buildings, and create units, but more. 8 AGES, yes 8, all the way from the olden slingshot to the nuclear warheads of today! Also the unit production is much quicker, and more effecient for building up your grand army. Also each civilization doesn't have just one unique unit, but more than one, up to 5 i think, or 7, but quite a bit! Also there are RARE resources that you can get for economy and miltary bonus's suck as salt, cotton, wool, wine, and LOADS more!
Graphics-10/10 Fabulous for creating small units like that, especially RTS games. The buildings are highly detailed.
Sound-Surprisingly 10/10! In AOE it makes bad, cheap sounds, in here, the troops march, there's a sound, the swords, guns and all those battle sounds sound a lot more realistic, same with the people dying ( well the dying isn't really important).
Many civilizations, such as the Incans, other Early American Tribes, French, other European civilizations, and even the good ol' Americans.
This is a fabulous historical RTS with fabulous graphics, fierce battles, and realistic campaigns with Napoleon, the Cold War, and much more! RTS fans, here's your chance! Buy this, take my advice.
Since I'm only a pre-teen (darn you adolescense!) you can't see my other reviews so I'll post one here: it's called: After two years..." It's on Final Fantasy Tactics for the GBA! Thanks for reading!

 Freezes Up for no good Reason, Apr 27, 2023
The game looks good. But, it doesn't run well. It is seriously buggy.
On a G4 with 1Gb of memory running 10.2.8, the game starts up, but then freezes when I attempt to lay track. Contacted MacSoft, looked up bugs on their site --- NOTHING. It would be great if it worked.

Impressive, Apr 2, 2023
An impressive strategy game for the macintosh platform. It could stand a new version with better graphics, unscaled buildings, and in general much larger scale.

 Mediocre at best, Feb 5, 2023
When I bought this game, I didn't realize it was just another version of Age of Empires. The game now advances to the modern age and other than some graphic upgrades, the game is unchanged. Big disappointment since I've been playing Age of Empires for some time. Now you know.
