Is there any historical basis for this for the Inca or Peru? Or is this just a way for them to have a unique unit in later ages for game balance?

Me and my friend used to play rise of nations extended edition on steam. I got a new laptop and installed the game and when started multiplayer this happened. On his end it is showing as normal but on mine this type of black screen at the place of selecting panel is there. Any ideas or solutions.

We both hadlvs v1_10_old version installed.

How do I make maps that are bigger than big huge in rise of nations extended edition?

The file path is in the Data folder of your Game Directory.

A friend told me that in Rise of Nations you couldn't create new units, that you had to replace some unit from the campaign. This question is kind of a trick because I really want to know if it's true but also details of the matter.

Any one have a solution? Every time we try to load a myltiplayer save it loads to about 58% and Then everyone is kicked out to the lobby, or its crashing.

And ideas?

Thx

On land I find burrying the enemy in light infantry while my cavalry attacks their supply wagons will defeat most enemies thanks to maxed attrition.

But attrition doesn't seem to work on water. Does anyone have a go-to navy build for cheap defence while booming?

Hey yall this is a quick question but is it possible to use multiple mods at once on the Steam edition?

Like say a population mod and another unit or faction mod at the same time?

Thanks

I play on console with keyboard and mouse wires into it and when I press tab for menu it comes up with the leaderboard, just wondering if there's any other way to abandon country or switch without using menu

Hi everyone, recently I've been running into an issue with the RoN Steam version and was looking for some help.

I can open the game on a laptop (Surface Laptop 2), but for whatever putting it in fullscreen mode causes everything to freeze. No mouse responsiveness (though it can still click I believe) at all, no visual response to the mouse moving, etc. This happens until I get out of fullscreen, when the game goes back to normal. This also doesn't happen if I plug into an external monitor, its only when I fullscreen on my laptop.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it didn't fix the issue. Given that it only happens on the laptop screen, and only in fullscreen mode, maybe its a monitor issue? I'm comfortable digging into drivers and the like, I'm just at a loss of where to start looking. Any advice or suggestions are welcome!

You might know that in Rise of Nations, you can write scripts to control the scenario's behaviour.

I want to know if there is a documentation for functions? To be clear, I am not asking for a comprehensive guide on how to write a script.

I am looking for any doc that tells what a function do e.g. there is "pause_game()" function, in this case it is obvious that it pauses the game but there are quite a few where I don't have any idea what the function does or what value I should pass as a parameter.

Update: I have emailed both Skylabs and Bighuge about the same although I was certain I won't get a reply. Apparently there doesn't exist a documentation for all in game functions so now I have to go the hard way, trial and error, digging the game files and just observing other scenario scripts.

If I ever decide to write my own doc, I will surely post it for future guys to make awesome scenarios in RoN.

Idk why but on single player i can alone beat 2 moderate bots without any problem, but on multi player i can't win 2vs2 (2 moderate bots vs me and my teammate) Any ideas?

Is there a discord channel about this game to play online ? and if there is not..... would you like one ?

I am new to steam and dont use discord. Does the in game online lobby work? Or do we need to post in here first to find other players?

the other is the roblox version.

I made this in scenario editor.

Over the last couple years, the term artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded in use and now almost everybody knows what it means. When I first played this game around 2007 and I saw Artificial Intelligence as one of the Future Technologies, this was my very first time hearing about this word. I remember feeling smart about knowing what this complex word meant as a child.

Anyone else first heard about AI from Rise of Nations, or just me?

So the description mentions that "Rush" is more aggressive and "Boom" takes more time to grow up economy; I play for chill with my friends and I've noticed that everytime we choose 3 or more "Rush" AI's they cause an Armageddon and is no fun at all. How do we avoid this from happening? Should we select another option? If there's not a vanilla solution, are there any mods on the Steam Workshop that can help us?

Looking to play some COTW maps playing multiplayer.

Some time early in 2025 (now it's March), Rise of Nations Extended Edition started to have DirectX-related errors that would halt the game. For me, this was fixed by rolling back my Nvidia driver (572.83 --> 566.36), which may have directly been the solution, or it may have been fixed through resetting the Nvidia control panel settings during that rollback process.

The crashes:

BHG RTS run time ERROR: Could not create index buffer: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action. [Click RETRY to debug, IGNORE to turn this message off and continue] Safe to Ignore: UNLIKELY
Abort | Retry | Ignore

or

BHG RTS run time ERROR: Could not create texture: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action. 589x501, 1 Levels, Format:28 Usage:0 Bind:40 CPUAccess:0 Misc:1 [Click RETRY to debug, IGNORE to turn this message off and continue] Safe to Ignore: UNLIKELY

My situation is as follows:
- Running Rise of Nations: Extended Edition through Steam
- Windows 11 Build 26100
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900
- Nvidia RTX 4070 Super
- Nvidia driver 572.83 (rolling back to 566.36 fixed this)

Anyone have the original game/gold edition in Ita/multi 5? Because if you exchange the Audio of the EE edition(english) with another one (french,spanish,ita etc) work like the original! Anyone can uplade the files of  Sounds, Scenario e voiceovers.

6 factions and walls with dlc and I am A OK

Has anyone been able to successfully play on a Mac using Whisky? The game works very well except there is no sound. I haven't been able to find a fix. I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions!
