Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots is an expansion pack for the turn-based strategy game 'Rise of Nation' developed by UBI Soft Video Games. This add-on was released in 2004 exclusively for Windows PCs, offering players a fresh gaming experience with numerous enhancements compared to its predecessor.

The core gameplay remains largely unchanged from Rise of Nations; however, this extension brings forth several new features and improvements that set it apart from the original title. The primary difference lies within the game's campaign mode where you'll be able to choose between two different campaigns - 'Hellenistic' or 'Parthian'. Each campaign offers unique storylines with distinct objectives for players to accomplish.

In addition, Rise of Nation: Thrones and Patriots introduces six brand new playable nations which can join your forces during battle. These include the Macedonian Empire under Alexander III (the Great), the Seleucid Empire founded by one such successor of Alexander himself along with three other smaller statelets namely Pontus; Bithynia plus Commagene all located within modern-day Turkey/SE Europe region respectively.

The gameplay mechanics themselves have seen very little change from Rise Of Nations. The game still follows a traditional turn-based system where players take turns moving units around the map, building structures and researching technologies to gain an advantage over their opponents.
