Product Description
Nations is a unique strategy game where you must take a small tribe and build them into a nation of peace, or an engine of war!
Amazon.com Product Description
Choose your tribe and create a harmonious community. Rule it honestly and fairly while discovering new lands and skills. Fight for survival and power. You are in control of the lives of the people within The Nations. Take into account that everyone in the tribes is an individual with his or her own habits and characteristics that must be nurtured and developed. Do you have what it takes to rule The Nations?The Nations allows players to complete their goals in two different ways: While some warriors will try conquering the world in a more conventional destructive manner, not all players want follow this path. For this reason, the developers included a new option that allows peaceful players to follow a more nonviolent approach to uniting all tribes and nations. Each nation is now made up of several different tribes. The player takes control of one of the tribes, hoping to satisfy each individual's needs and demands within the tribe. Once this has been accomplished, members of other tribes, enticed by the player's leadership, will flock to join the player's tribe. An especially enjoyable consequence may occur when an entire tribe decides to give the player total control. Use diplomacy to build alliances and exchange technologies with various tribes and nations. Acquire money by trade and use it to build your tribe and keep members happy. Can't handle peaceful coexistence? Then employ a conquer-the-world strategy and see where it gets you. The developer has implemented an intelligent AI system that allows your subjects to think. Once the player has decided that wood needs to be chopped, lumberjacks will immediately follow the players wish, unless, of course, they are taking a break, sleeping, or are just unhappy with their living conditions.

Great Game June 16, 2005

So far, I have really enjoyed playing this game. The only problem that I have had with it was the first time that I tried to play. It would just shut off after clicking on the "play the nations" button in the menu. I went to the website for help, and decided to download the three patches for this game. After I installed the patches, I tried to play again, and it worked the first time! This game is great, and especially for the price, but I definitely recommend downloading the patches.
 Looks fun, if you knew how to play it April 30, 2005

The game looks really great, the only downfall to it is I have not discovered a MANUAL. I couldn't find one in paper form, nor in pdf form on the cd. I contacted Jowood who wrote the game, and didn't get much help at all.

I am unsure about one thing about this game. Ever since I started playing it I have had the weirdest dreams. I'm not sure if it is the blue people or the Amazons, but something weird is happening.I do like the game, and the price is great. Just be cautioned you may have some weird dreams with Amazonians' stopping in.

The nations is really cool. It's got trippy graphics and so many different possibilities. You can adjust the speed of the game, which is a bonus. The only problem I can see it you run out of stone but it's not that bad since you can always buy more.All in all, it's so worth it! And I love the complexity.
Pretty Good! October 6, 2002

Jowood Makes alot of interesting games. The Nations is definetely one of their best. If you like games like Majesty this one is for you! And for you P.C. games out there like me, Amazon.com has made it a very special price. I've bought something from amazon before and its good quality. if you don't want to spend alot get it here. Build cities with everything you could expect, townhall, warehouse, police stations, guard towers, and three species to command!
