Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "The Rise of Rome" added quite a few new features to the original gameplay. Among these additions were four new civilizations. Can you name them?

Answer: Carthaginians, Macedonians, Palmyrans, Romans

Each civilization was unique in some specific manner. For example, if you favor using war elephants and naval warfare, the Carthaginians had those as their strong point. The Macedonians, however, had a clear advantage in priests and missile resistance. Economy and trade shaped the Palmyrans, and of course the Romans were all about military infantry and construction.

2. What do the Romans have as their wonder of the world?

Answer: The Colosseum

In "Rise of Rome" there are a number of options on how to win. One, you can conquer the world and kill everyone, than be declared the winner, or you simply build a wonder, which in the Romans' case is the Colosseum. Although they cost quite a bit, wonders offer a non-violent solution to victory.

3. A number of new units were added. One was a brand-new infantry unit that did not appear in the orignal game. It could be used effectively against archers. What is it?

Answer: Slinger

The Slinger does becomes useless in the later ages. Despite this, it can be an invaluable anti-archer weapon in the early parts of the game.

4. Although "Age of Empires" had its chariot, "Rise of Rome" decided to expand upon it. The result was which unit, which is capable of inflicting damage upon multiple units simultaneously?

Answer: Scythed Chariot

Some fans criticized that the original war chariot could not also afflict units nearby the one it was aiming for, and so Microsoft fixed that with the Scythed Chariot. This technique is known as blast area radius.

5. To celebrate the release of the game, which website offered a number of tournaments for world-wide players to test their skill at "Rise of Rome"?

Answer: Age of Empires Heaven

Age of Empires Heaven is a large, fan-based website devoted to the original game and its expansion pack. It offers quite a few downloads for Mods, Campaigns, and scenarios.

6. What were the four new technologies introduced into the game?

Answer: Logistics, Martyrdom, Medicine, and Tower Shield

Logistics is used in the game to help save population space. A civilization with Logistics had their barracks units (minus the Slinger) counted only as a half a population number. Martyrdom was a blessing in disguise. What you could do with it is convert an enemy unit instantly, but you would have to sacrifice your priest to do it. One drawback was that it couldn't work on other priests. Medicine simply increased the speed at which your priest healed wounded units. Finally, Tower Shield provided +1 defense for infantry and Academy units against ballistas and a Helepolis.

7. Was the game demo a standalone, meaning you didn't need the original game to play it?

Answer: Yes

The game demo was 20.7 megabytes, and it did not require the original game to work. It offered the player four basic previews of the game: one scenario out of the Punic War campaign was included, the Multiplayer feature was shown, the Slinger, Camel Rider, and Fire Galley were all available for play, as was the Roman civilization.

8. Four new map types were added for more diverse gameplay.

Answer: True

The four new map types were the mountainous highlands, large island, the Mediterranean, and a peninsula. Also, a new, larger map size was added.

9. Which video game developer was responsible for "Rise of Rome"?

Answer: Ensemble Studios

Ensemble was also responsible for the rest of the "Age of Empires" series, as well as the "Age of Mythology" series. They also produced the game "Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds" which is based on the "Age of Kings" engine.

10. What was this game rated in the US?

Answer: Teen

"Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome" was rated Teen by the ESRB. This is because of animated blood and animated violence.
