For Rising Kingdoms, you obtain glory points by battling colony guards. The Glory points mechanic is akin to Experience points found in other traditional role-playing game systems. The very first Forester champion you meet - the Queen of the Wolves, has these four basic skills: Gaze of Fear, Ghost Wolves, Blood Feeding, and Wolf Mastery, as well as three advanced skills. Take for example the Forester race, the champions are the Queen of the Wolves, the Seedkeeper, the Fairy, and the Sharpshooter. !(dgnmn69p4hq41 ' Recommended starter campaign - Play the HumansД®ach champion can learn up to 7 skills, and you use Glory points to improve their skills. champions in the game, you ask? Does that mean there is an element of a role playing game in Rising Kingdoms? Can I level up my champions? One negative point to note - the campaign voice acting is barely passable for me, but the unit voice work for the Human race is really lame (this brings to mind another review earlier this week with even worse voice work).Д«ut whatever campaign you pick, you will eventually be introduced to the four Champions for each race. The Darkling campaign involves the defense of an ancient doorway to the gods and is quite a challenge. The Forester campaign was a bit of a bore, but the battles are great stuff to play. Of the three campaigns, I thought the Humans had an interesting story to tell. !(i7rwfsvm4hq41 ' The troll colony is now mine to control! For example, the troll colony allows you to choose the special power of either the Earthshaker (a huge behemoth who lobs rocks) or the Troll Cannon (which fires troll units at your enemy structures or units). Once a colony is captured, you must choose one of two colony powers to employ. You can then begin to hire colony units to supplement your main army. Once you have defeated the colony guards, they will become loyal to you. Perhaps one of the better innovations in Rising Kingdoms is the ability to capture colonies of the 5 minor races.В Look out though, for the number of colony guards varies depending on your current army strength. !(guq1pygk4hq41 ' Azuriel shows you the ropes In case it was not clear, you have to seek out the enemy Forester Town HallВ (it's the largest building on the map) to end the tutorial. As you progress through the four parts of the tutorial, you will eventually be required to capture a troll and nomad colony before being allowed to complete the level on your own. The tutorial mission is pretty informative and instead of playing the standard Human race, you get to lead a Forester army and see their mystical town grow. The Single Player Mode gives you a tutorial mission, three campaigns to choose from, and a custom game option which allows you to configure your own battles against computer AI players (with as many as 8 players duking it out on a custom map designed with the in-game editor). Rising Kingdoms provides for the standard Single Player and Multiplayer Modes. !(rb9fvr0i4hq41 ' Startup screen for Rising Kingdoms Terrible wars will be fought as they seek to dominate the world of Equiada amidst five other minor races (Dragons, Elves, Nomads, Shades, and Trolls) whose colonies await to be conquered and used by the three Rising Kingdoms to further their ends. Now, three potential kingdoms are rising in power - the Humans, Foresters, and Darklings. This race of neutral beings also sought to distance themselves from civilization when they found no gods answering their prayers. The Darklings, created from darkness and magma protect the world from the realm of the dead. The Foresters are born of plant, beast, and magic they rely on nature and magic to sustain their backward culture. Meanwhile, the Elves in their pride and arrogance fled deeper into the forests and left the savage Foresters to take over their lands. The religion of the Sunblessed grew out of the remnants of the Order and they sought to persecute any power that might rival them. As a result of fear, the Shimmering Order was formed and these ignorant humans waged a devastating war on the world. One day, the Humans discover that the gods had left the world to fend for itself. Rising Kingdoms brings us the fantasy world of Equiada, a world with four origin races - Dragons, Darklings, Humans, and Elves.

There are a couple of innovative features in the game that is worthy of mention which makes this an interesting choice for play over a couple of lazy afternoons. The game was developed by Haemimont Games and distributed by Black Bean Games. Rising Kingdoms is a real time strategy game that was released back in mid-2005 without too much fanfare.
