Rise Of Nations: What?

Ok, not exactly a recent release. But yeah, game I interned on, blah blah blah. Only really gotten into it recently and DAMN, this is some quality shit, it will definitely tide me over on the PC front until Civ 4 is ported to mac.
But yeah, great pacing, great epic feel, and just solid game play. My dad and I just took on two moderates, but to be honest it felt like I took on two moderates.
Things that could be improved upon, any micromanagement units seem to get lost in the shuffle unless you're a god like player, there is just too much stuff to hotkey and pay attention to to use most micromanagement abilities. The only really affective micromanagement unit is the general because it quickly can apply to a large group of units and you can access his commands from the group's menu. But with assassins for example it is pretty hard to actively pay attention to what they're doing and even harder to click on units for them to do their thing to.
So in the end, great solid game, seems like there is more to it for me to peel back inspite of having worked on the game.... hurty durrrr.
