Book Reviews of Rise of Nations: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets
Book Review: Perspective from an RTS newbie
Summary: 5 Stars
While I've played video games all my life, I've only recently gotten into the RTS genre. I love Rise of Nations, but my limited experience with strategy games was no match for its epic scope, which was a more major step up from Age of Empires II than I realized it would be.
This book has helped quite a bit with that. It has enough basics that it's taken me from extreme beginner to an intermediate phase (I actually started winning games!), and I still have a great deal to learn from it. It provides a good framework for the beginner to learn the genre as a whole, and it adds a good amount of information and special tactics specific to RON.
The more advanced RTS gamer can probably skip most of the first few chapters and get into more advanced tactics and less obvious RON specifics, but it seems like there's still something to learn for everyone.
