RISE OF NATIONS NUKE SERIES

As Brain explains it, 'Each foot unit in Rise of Nations will consist of three characters in a row. Instead of just relying on combat statistics, real-life tactics and strategies will play a big part in determining who wins on the battlefield, and Big Huge Games has an interesting way to handle the problem of using tactics in battles. Drop enough nukes and the world will end in nuclear winter, with no one declared the victor. Every time a nuclear weapon is used in Rise of Nations the global armegeddon meter rises. However, nuclear war doesn't come without consequences. Brian even showed us the mother of all weapons - the nuke - as he completely obliterated a large chunk of an opposing nation with one big helping of mushroomy cloudiness. Today we saw musketeers, tanks, fighter planes, machine-gunners, and cavalry all vying for a piece of the world - the tanks won.

'You're actually going to take over all of the buildings when you take over a city, so you can start using those cities right away.'Д®verything in the game plays out in full 3D, and the combat is actually quite exciting to witness as there can literally be hundreds of animated, well-detailed units duking it out at one time. 'It's not just about burning everything to the ground and moving it out of the way,' says Brian. After you capture an enemy town, you'll be able to use it just as if you built it yourself. If the enemy forces are stronger, then they keep the city, but if your forces are dominant, the city is yours. After you siege a city and damage it enough, it comes down to who has the most land-based units in the area. Instead of attacking enemy cities directly it's often helpful to siege a city with cannons, artillery or air units first and then send in foot troops to hold the metropolis. Even if you don't build any new cities, if you flourish in these areas, your borders will expand.Д«esides building an empire of your own, the most direct way to increase the size of your nation is through military action. But factors such as military technology, city size, religious influence, and civic accomplishment will affect the reach of your boundaries. To expand your territory, you build new villages, and therefore expand your sphere of influence. As you would imagine, your national boundary is based on what land areas you control.

'We're about having lots of different villages and cities and metropolises that have different varieties and functions that work as one nation.' So unlike the Civilization series where your opponents could set up shop right in the middle of a group of your cities as long as there was a free square, now your territories will be clearly defined, preventing other civilizations from constructing in your territories.ДЄlthough the Settlers series included territorial boundaries, Rise of Nations is really taking that concept to a whole new level. 'We're not just about having one big sprawling city,' Brian explains. Not surprisingly given the history of Brian Reynolds and the rest of the Big Huge Games team, Rise of Nations is a real-time strategy game that combines elements of Age of Empires, Civilization, Empire Earth, and Settlers with a few new features of its very own and focuses on the large-scale. In February 2000, Brian and a few others left Firaxis to form their own development studios: Big Huge Games.Д«ig Huge Games' first project is Rise of Nations.

Working under the shadow of famed-designer Sid Meier at Hasbro and Meier's own studio Firaxis for years, Brian was the lead designer on such high-profile projects as Civilization II and Alpha Centauri.
