It might just be my low expectations, but this expansion really improves the original game. But to get them together? Go for it. You've got to get this package; the graphics are good, and you can play the conquer the world campaigns, not only the boring sloppy old keep conquering the whole world, which takes till the info age, but you can play in a shorter time slot, and fight with or against generals like Napoleon, Wellington, Ptolemy, and Alexander, all with unique powers.
The four new campaigns are Alexander the Great, Napoleon, The New World and the Cold War.
In Alexander you play as Alexander and you must conquer the known world, and you being that greedy Alexander, you won't settle for less!
In Napoleon you become Napoleon, and you have to choose between two paths set by the French in Paris, and the one you don't take fails. But you must conquer the whole map, or turn them into your vassals by diplomacy. In these two campaigns you get to fight historical battles.
In the New World, play as a Europeon nation, a native American nation, or America. Each of these three groups have a different objective.
And finally the cold War. Play either superpower, conduct espionage, use nuclear weapons as detterents, or let them take out whole territories! Conduct police actions and attack countries, or use diplomacy to turn them into client states(like vassals).
The government really adds another perspective. The patriots are just generals, but they have special abilities unique to each different one.

Rise of Nations is a great game, but if you have an operating system beyond XP don't think about getting it. It worked fine in XP, but when I upgraded to Vista it started having problems with the screen going blank. Now I have upgraded to Windows 7 I cannot install it, not even if I switch to Vista or XP mode. When you run compatibility it just says the game is completely incompatible with the operating system. So unless you are certain you will not be upgrading beyond XP don't waste your money - it won't work.

When I bought this game, I bought with another one as it was on offer, I expected it to be like all the rest of the strategies (even though I don't play on or own many other strats), but hell no, it ain't...i'm telling you - IT'S AWESOME!!! I'm not going to say much else other than: BUY IT!!! If I did explain it all, it would spoil the fun and surprise when you play it, besides, it would take up the whole site to explain every detail. But this is the game for people who have always been interested in world and national history, wars, invasions and even ambitions of conquering the world!!! It's all in here.
