| abstract | - Rise of Legends is a Spiritual Successor to Rise of Nations created in 2006 by Big Huge Games, creators of the previous game. Instead of being set on Earth, it is set on the world of Aio, a world of technology and magic. The campaign follows the adventures of a Vinci inventor named Giacomo. His primary opponent is the Doge of Venucci, a typical Evil Overlord type who embarks on a campaign of conquest over Vinci lands, and then unlocks a Sealed Evil in a Can over in Alin territory in the form of "Dark Glass" creatures. However, he's revealed to be merely a pawn in the schemes of the Evil False Gods of the Cuotl. Giacomo leads the campaign against all three forces. Gameplay-wise, the situation is actually not very similar to Rise of Nations despite being by the same developers: Nations imported a lot of ideas from the 4X genre, which Legends discarded in an effort to be more like Starcraft. Gone are the non-military win conditions, the emphasis on research, the proliferation of resources and the large roster of playable nations. What's left is an unambitious but very polished RTS that's lots of fun to play, and is still more strategic than most games in the genre. For instance, ships plying the enemy's trade routes can be shot down, slowing down their economy; cities are not founded but captured, either from other players or from neutral creeps; there are non-city "outpost" locations which you can gain control of and give you gameplay bonuses (in the form of resources or access to new units); and said neutral locations can be purchased as well as conquered, at which point its neutral creeps join your army. The game won several awards in the "Cool But Overlooked" category. And for a while, all was silent in Big Huge land... At least until the recent release of Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning.
