Rise of Rome (RoR) was the expansion pack of the original Age of Empires. It added fancy new-fangled shit like queuing unit production and selecting units of the same type with a double-click and pathfinding being not openly hostile towards you.
Civs[]
A new Roman culture was added, with the following civs:
- Romans
- Palmyrans
- Macedonians
- Carthagians
Everyone shat their pants in anticipation of playing the legendary Palmyran Empire
Campaigns[]
Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome
There were four campaigns, kind of indecisive if they wanted to be AoE-style empire-centered or AoK-style dude centered:
- Rise of Rome
- Ave Caesar
- Pax Romana
- Enemies of Rome
Rome Rome Romity Romany Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome. Furthermore Rome
Other new stuff[]
FFWF! FFFWWWWFFF! FFFFFWWWWWWFFFFFFF!
RoR added a bunch of new technologies and units, including Slingers, Camel Riders, Armored Elephants, Scythed Chariots and HOLY SHIT FIRE GALLEYS YES
