So, I have to admit, that one of the my favourite RTS games of all time was Rise of Nations. I just loved how they combined some aspects of Civilization with the gameplay of Age of Empires.
The last time I played it was after its release, almost a decade ago, so I was happy to grab it on Steam, when the HD edition came out. I started it, got the usual nice feelings about it, but during the Alexander campaign, a meh feeling got over me. Sometimes I even got frustrated.
The reason for this is that the gameplay is all about spamming the most units as fast as possible, because the AI does the same, and it sends them to me wave after wave. And to keep up, I have to do the same.
Anybody else gets a similar feelings when playing an older RTS games? That's all these games have to offer? No real strategy, just build the same buildings and start spamming units?
