Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome

Description

Rise of Rome is the expansion for the 1997 RTS title Age of Empires. Along several bug fixes and new campaigns and maps, RoR includes four new civilizations (Carthage, Macedonia, Palmyra and Roman) with a new building design, five new units (slingers, armored elephants, camel riders, fire galleys and scythe chariots) and four new technologies (logistics, martyrdom, medicine and tower shield).

Gameplay is also tweaked, with the ability to queue production of units of the same type, the ability to use the "Home" key to circle through events, and also the possibility to change the population limit and a new map size "gigantic" was added.
