I've been playing this game since it was originally released. Can't recall the year but I was definitely in elementary school and now I'm a husband and father. Well balanced RTS with a lot of different mechanics that keep it interesting.

I'd love for RON to get a DE version like AOE2. One of the last great RTSes and I played the heck out of it back in the day. The single player campaigns are a blast and the online while very competitive was a lot of fun. Basically the game is a mix of civ (going through the ages) +aoe RTS type combat without the micromanagement of your economy. It definitely has its niche carved out and ready to take back with a proper modern remaster/remake.

Simply one of the best RTS out there. Play with friends against insane enemy, contest with the territory. Drag the fight until the future. Spam instant unit by the border and end up stalemate. Keep nuking until the world breaks. Will do that again.
