Worth getting

RON is a fun game that I played for over 2 months (not everyday of course). If you like Command & Conquer or Lords of the Realm, you should like this game. They have similar fighting scenarios and I like these type of games. I prefer C&C, as far as defending your territory, over this game.

Positives:
1. Very addictive and challenging enough to keep you playing for awhile. Very challenging if you play the harder difficulty, especially defending your territory.
2. It's fun seeing the changes and enhancements through the ages.
3. It has a really great learning tool...I never even needed the instruction booklet, which is rare with complicated games like these (great for kids).

Negatives:
1. I wish the game forced you to stay in an age longer, thus seeing all the maximum achievements of that age. They should create a larger variety of soldiers/weapons within that age and require longer playing times to move on to a new age. The better you accomplish the required goals, the faster you'll move on to the next age. The current method requires you to move faster to the next age, otherwise you'll be way behind and be left as a dead carcass by the enemy.
2. Lack of walls to protect your territory better.
3. The 'Risk' map is a good concept but you should be able to attack anywhere as long as you own that country, they force you to have an army in the attacking country. If you ally within anyone, they can take over most of the world and you still win, so if you want to take over the world on your own, don't ally with anyone.
4. Citizen total is too low (200) and unrealistic.

Overall....it is worth getting and a fun game.
