8:29 *AcTuAlLy* the term was in use since the Roman Empire, "Doge" is a dialectal alteration of the word Dux, used to indicate great military leaders, used for propaganda in the entire history of Italy. Since ww2 no one actually consider the term as positive anymore for obvious reasons and is not used anymore. The obvious reasons: Mussolini was the Duce, which is Dux in modern italian.
I mean, that reminds me of Arcaneum to some extend, where technology and magic were opposing forces on every level. Like if your character is a dedicated wizard, they're practically swimming in magic energy, and it causes technology to malfunction, if not outright explode just from being near you. And similarly, if your character focused on tech, like using guns and such for combat, they become more and more inept at magic, to the point magical items like wands will cease to function in your hands.
That's actually a long standing fantasy meme. Technology, particularly simple circuits (tie copper wire around a quartz crystal), completely destroys magic.
I seem to remember that one of the skirmish maps has a temple or something in the middle that allows you to summon those and/or some other units you normally don't get. It's been a while though.
I've never played this before but now I kind of want to. also, the aliens using energy generation instead of making use of the same resources as everyone else kind of reminds me of the masari from Universe at War.
This game is an absolute hidden Gem. With Rise of Nations being among my top five video games, like Stronghold and Diablo 2, this one fits snuggly beside them. Despite the dated graphics, the Fun Factor and Gameplay of these classics are absolutely unparalleled today. They created so much with so little. It is an absolute shame that it has become all but abandoned. Edit: also, the Soundtrack of Rise of Legends and Rise of Nations are some of the best pieces of music that I continue to vibe with to this day.

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate that Jaucomo, looted a God? Gork and Mork would be proud.
-Kills an alien god
-Turns it's corpse into a mech to use in combat
-gets infected with alien energy giving him superpower.
Not gonna lie, I'm absolutely going to use the phrase "Everyone has a price. Including fictional animals." at every chance I get now.

Other thing, being that in the other historical context for it, from Venice, just meaning duke. Remember what the doge’s capital is called?

I love how humans have technology that can cancle magic in this game. Somehow out of steam driven technology.
Maybe it works like fae magic and doesn't work on iron? Didn't care much about the logic, this game was great.

Congratulations on the sponsorship, Boss!

We may complain about graphics, but older games were actually built to be playable.

This was an amazing game, the map remind me of Dark Crusade
Noice reaction Smooth Skin
rise of legends is awesome but saddly it isnt sold anywhere,rise of nations however is on steam and has working multyplayer.
As for the loss of sanity, I'm quite sure that's not a side effect , but a Goal
Love this game
You know a game is old when you can smell the _c r u s t_

Я просто оставлю здесь комментарий на русском, чтобы остальные страдали. И да, я убил на эту игру много времени своего детства.
Программы-переводчики неплохо справляются с переводом на русский язык. Это заняло много часов моего детства, как и вашего.

Why do you keep spelling SsethTzeentach without the -tach?
Because I'm an idiot.
