On April 28, 2004, Big Huge Games released ''Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots'', an expansion pack. Later that year, a Gold edition of ''[[Rise of Nations]]'' was released, which included both the original and the expansion. In 2006, a [[Spiritual Successor]], ''Rise of Nations: [[Rise of Legends]]'' was released, but instead of a historical game, ''Rise of Legends'' turned more towards fantasy elements, creating a world where fantasy and technology coexisted.
The original game and ''Thrones and Patriots'' were given an [[Updated Rerelease]] as ''Rise of Nations: Extended Edition'' in 2014. Released on Steam, it includes several enhancements such as HD graphics, streamlined multiplayer and streaming support.

** Nine, if you count the [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] technologies.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The ''Extended Edition''.
* [[Units Not to Scale]]: Typical of an RTS game. A Main Battle Tank, for instance, is one third the size of its factory. A real army tank plant, on the other hand, takes several hundreds of acres. In the case of the [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/lima.htm Lima Army Tank Plant], the main production building is roughly the size of ''thirty'' football fields.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Not much, but it does make you feel kind of sad or like an [[We Have Reserves|inept, uncaring bastard]] when your Citizen, who you sent out with your army to make any emergency captured-city repairs, screams in agony and staggers away to die as the enemy [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice|plugs her with a five-foot-long flaming ballista bolt]]–and it's all [[You Bastard|because of your tactical failures.]]
