This is a fabulous game and it was worth every cent I spent on it. If you are a fan of Grand Strategy style maps as Commander-in-Chief of all your armies than this a great game for you. As a fan of anything between 1700-1945 this game covers a crucial part in the history of Europe and that makes playing it even more excting!

This is probably the game and topic best suited to the old Ageod engine. Steep learning curve makes this unsuitable for beginners & casuals. If you like the topic and have the patience to learn the system, get it.

Rise of Prussia it could have been fun, but sadly it lacks support, I remember playing the game a bit in the past while it worked, but it has changed so that i cant run the game without recieving a ctd everytime i start a battle which is simply unacceptable. Patching the game to the most recent version 1.11 does not alleviate this issue and it seems like the game is not recieving much support either, i have seen that the patch to version 1.1 came 1 and a half years later than when the patch was released, not a good sign. Therefore i suggest staying away from this game which could have been possibly also quite a fun mp experience and show more intresting facts about the seven years war.

The controls are kind of confusing. You can only play as Austria or Prussia. But what other game allows you to reenact the carrier of Frederick the Great of Prussia? If you don't know who that man is, this game may not be for you.

Deeply complex game where player controls armies and plan for victory. One false move can cost the campaign, be that a bad positioned column, a fool charge into superior enemy force or as simply as forgetting to couple one's force to its supply detachment left behind last turn to speed up the march. As this is my first AGEOD game, I remember all so well the feeling when Saxons invaded mainland Prussia, Berlin almost captured because I put my "Home Front" troops at a wrong place while the main army was still campaigning in Bohemia. Graphic wise, not much to write about. The player gets a 2D map of Central Europe and an option between 2D army stacks or 3D ones. Personally, I prefer the former, as coupling with the map, it is quite charming. The game is truly easy to learn. Orders and movements are pretty simple but to dwell more into it, one will discover the complexity of the game's mechanics. New players are encouraged to read the manual and do more research on AGEOD's forum as there is a wealth of information regarding how to play ROP effectively while still enjoying the immersive experience it provides. Overall, for a fairly old game and game style, it deserves a 9/10. My complain is there are still to few AGEOD games on Steam.

Seriousy I need a manual with this game, the tutorials are too sparse and don't give enough information on how it all interacts. As someone mentioned, I see that this game has a STEEP learning curve, it MAY be a good game but I don't have HOURS to spend learning a game system that neither steam or the developer bothered to provide competent instruction on.

All the AGEOD games are very good. This one covers the 7-years war in Europe, and comes with several long and short campaigns. The game works on a WEGO system, and focuses on operational level warfare. Supply is very important, as are weather conditions. You can build units for your armies, give orders to your generals (which they will not always carry out, due to an activation system, simulating the difficulties in co-ordinating actions in this period). There is no 3-d battle function. Strictly old fashioned strategy, played out on a beautiful 2-d map. The units and leaders also have very nice art to represent them. Highly recommended, in-depth simulation of the campaigns of the 7-years war in Europe!

My first ever Ageod game. Not for the faint of heart! But if you are a hardcore gamer, and willing to put some time on it, you will be rewarded by the best strategic/tactical games out there. If you are a student of military history, you will get totally addicted to Ageod games. I barely play anything else. Also by far the best gamers community out there. Friendly, polite, and very welcoming to new unexperienced players. What can I say? If you want to experience what decisions a commander had to take back then, my suggestion is to give these games a go. Totally addicted to this company's games. I started with Alea Jacta Est, then Rise of prussia, then Revolution under siege and American Civil War II and never looked back. AGEOD in my opinion makes the best military games out there. Can be a bit daunting to start with (first time I got AJE I couln't figure out what the hell was going on) but if you are willing to put some time into it (the AGEOD forums are absolutely amazing for beginners tips!) you will be rewarded by the absolutely best PG wargame experience out there. I especially recommend Narwhal and Loki's AAR as well as the excellent Charles Cummings and Gilmer youtube tutorials. Totally addicted to this games, as a passionate student of history, I can't play anything else these days!

Probably the best of the AGE Games, Rise of Prussia covers the fascinating European Theatre of War during the Seven Years war, or third silesian war. The Gold Edition also adds the First and Second Silesian Wars, which are smaller and more focused and great for learning the game. Its a period that is ironically, often overlooked by most people. Taking one of histories greatest generals, Frederick the Great, you lead the fledgeling nation of Prussia into war against the monstrosities that are France, Russia, Sweden and most importantly Austria, with only a few hannoverian allied armies supporting you. The game enjoys minimal bugs compared to most AGE Engine Games, and I have only run into one so far and it was minor at worst (A General teleporting). The Performance is good, which is something you can't normally say for an AGE game as well, and whilst it isn't the prettiest game around the graphics are pleasing enough to the eye. Although the UI is a little outdated, its easy to get used too and can be learnt quickly enough. A major strength of the game, infact the main focus, is the way in which war is waged. You have total control over your force composition, in a realistic manner that even takes into account your generals seniority. (A General with more seniority expects to be promoted before that new guy, even if the new guy is 10x better hes gunna have to get some achievements before being promoted to leading his own Corps). Your armies are divided into groups, starting with an Field Army, which is made up of different Corps, which are in turn made of different Brigades, and whom are also made up of Battallions etc. This area of organization is brilliant for anyone who enjoys reforming whole armies to fit their needs and despite how it sounds, is relatively simple once you get used to it. The UI for doing this is far less convuluted than similar games (Looking at you hearts of iron). Each of these forces can be detached or re-attached to their command at will, so if you have a Brigade of Hussars and need to know if the enemy is in Prague, or still sitting on his arse in Vienna, you can detatch them from the main army and send them on a scouting mission (or a raid). This level of flexibility blends excellently with the warfare of the time period, where battles are fought and won on manouver. On the note of manouver, don't expect the enemy to just sit around and wait for you! You both move at the same time, planning your turn for the next two weeks and then the plans execute simultaneously, this can lead to some very interesting situations and provides for a far more interesting gameplay experience, and also means you'll have to predict enemy movements and prepare for them accordingly. In addition to a brilliant manouver system, the Supply system is perfect, and accurately represents the systems used in the time period. As you advance deeper into enemy territory, it may become necassery to build supply depots to keep your men fed, and to even place guards at these depots to ensure enemy cavalry brigades don't come along and raid it. I havn't fully worked out the supply system yet, but running out of food stocks is sufficiently devestating, and Winter is suitably harsh (In the actual war they had to sit around in prague until winter was over, I had to do the same thing) effecting supplies, movement and attrition effectively, as well as combat and encourages one to wait it out and lick your wounds rather than continue the advance. The game isn't perfect though, it has a few flaws and I think the foremost of them is the military recruitment system. I feel as if, the recruitment process is a little slow at times, and that whilst the time it takes to prepare men is fine, the number of men I can prepare at once feels rather limited. I can't speak regarding the realism here, its a personal view and may be to some peoples liking. But it isn't to mine. Another issue I've run into is the reinforcements. I'm not really sure how they work, and the concept is never really explained. But I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, so I'll update the review once I have figured it out. In short, for those looking for a pretty realistic strategy game, with indepth customization of forces and an excellent combat/manouver warfare system and mechanics, this is the game to get. Its fairly priced, clean of bugs, and provides hours of gameplay.
