I’m going to quote Tycho’s post in its entirety here, because I agree with him 100% and there’s not much I can add to it!

Rise of Nations was a great game, but if you were flipping through screenshots seeking out some new addiction it wouldn’t have stood out - you’d get the impression that you had played “that game” before.

It’s hard to dismiss Rise of Legends in the same way. Big Huge Games could probably have put out another Rise of Nations in the same vein and done alright, but instead they chose to go completely batshit insane and I think we’re all the better for it.

Teech, Shep and I spent a good amount of time this evening (morning, whatever) trying to find some concrete information on the minimum spec required to play RoL. We’ve yet to find anything, though judging by the screen shots we’re going to need some pretty beefy graphics cards to run this baby. Like Tycho, we’re looking forward to it!
