MacSoft today announced that it will release a Mac version of Rise of Nations, the award-winning real-time strategy game. Rise of Nations, which MacSoft said will be ready later this summer, combines “the epic scope of traditional turn-based strategy (TBS) games with the fast-paced action of RTS games. The game allows players to create new cities, improve their city infrastructure and expand national borders. Players have the option to win through military might using everything from slingshots to cannons to stealth bombers, or they can corner the market on key commodities as they wheel and deal with a wide variety of nations. It allows gamers to quickly play through eight historical epochs of time from the Ancient Age to the Information age, covering 6,000 years of history.”
