Rise of Nations is basically the fusion of three strategy games — Civilization, Age of Empires, and Total Annihilation — and surprisingly this worked pretty well. And yeah, Spearman (Hoplite) still can defeat Tank here, in real time! You still need a whole army of Hoplites to perform it, though.

Walruses and cannonballs, which didn't survive BIG HUGE cleanup.

Unused Sounds
A sound effect from Age of Empires 2?? Yeah, this game definitely made a BIG HUGE influence on developers.

Unused Models

Light Bomber

A model and texture of a World War (1)-era German Gotha Bomber in files lightbomber.bh3 and lightbomber.tga in the /art folder. Apparently it was supposed to be a Bomber unit for the Industrial Age and was scrapped most probably because of a balance reason (the developers couldn't make this unit seem weak, compared to the Modern Age Bomber, and, at the same time, make its operating range wide enough to reach the enemy base).

Demonstration of this model in the game by Bomber unit with replaced texture and model.

Old Anti-Aircraft Battery

Model and texture of an old addon for Anti-Aircraft Battery - Modern Age Anit-Aircraft unit. It can be seen in some early pre-release footage, such as this.

Old SAM Installation

Model and texture of old missile barrage for SAM Installation - Information Age Lookout. The icon of this building shows exactly the same missiles that this model shows.

Unused Features

There are some unused features in various game aspects hidden in rules.xml. Most of them are just switched off by having value 0, but they can be brought back by changing the value.

Common Features

Increases speed of transport boat variations. Goes unused since 02.03.11.0302 version, probably due to balance reasons (too fast transport boats can swim away from Light Ships).

Increases max allowed farm count when city is upgrading (from Small to Large, from Large to Major).

Allows cities to generate Wealth resourse, besides Food and Timber by default.

Allows cities to generate more Wealth after upgrading (from Small to Large, from Large to Major).

Allows Temple buildings to generate Wealth. Note that in default, Temple is not generating resources on its own at all.

Allows cities to generate Knowledge, besides Food and Timber by default.

Allows Library building to generate Knowledge. Note that in default, Library is not generating resources on its own at all.

Probably an unused way to increase the population limit. In the release version only Military upgrades, Wonders and Rare Resources can increase it (there is another separate string for Military upgrades encoding increasing population limit).

Artifical multiplication of training, constructing, researching rate and other processes goes unused. As the description says, it was intended for test purposes.

In the released game version, docks don't use radius for anything. No idea what was it for.

Probably it was intended for increasing projuction from farms that were located near rivers. Note that in the release version, rivers don't increase production of anything.

Decreases craft meter for Bomber line units while bombing.

While entry0, entry1, entry2 and entry3 are used in-game (for Agriculture, Carpentry and Metal Alloys tech lines and their absence), entry4 is unused. It seems in some points of development game developers wanted to add additional technology for increasing resource production to 35. Some other leftovers from scrapped fourth technolody of Agriculture tech line can be found in the game's files (see below).

Let Supply Wagons to heal nearby units, just like from French national bonus or Versailles wonder bonus.

Most probably it was intended for increasing Wonder victory timer with age advancing. Seems to be not working - changing the value to any number doesn't do anything with the Wonder timer.

Parameter related with scrapped Paradrop ability.

(still no idea what is it; need additional exploring)

Scrapped ability to increase attack and armor for Militia line units. Developer's note '(disabled)' is true - it doesn't give Militia any benefits from President by changing value to any number. Probably it was scrapped because it doesn't fit into defense abilities of Republic line upgrade Patriots.

Wonder Features

Allows Colossus Wonder to increase caravan limit.

Allows Hanging Gargens Wonder to build all buildings faster.

Increases attack rate of all military units.

Probably was intended to increase range and decrease cost for some units. Seems to be non-functional.

Increases range and raise national border for all Forts with Colosseum Wonder.

When value is not 0, allows to instantly upgrade Fortification line of upgrades.

Decreases price of Barracks, StablesAutoplants and Factories. Oddly enough, the description only mentions Barracks.

Allows Tikal Wonder to reduce cost of Temple building.

Wneh value is 1, allows Tikal Wonder to instanly and free perform all upgrades in Temple.

Speeds up research with built Angkor-Wat Wonder.

Description describes bonuses pretty accurately.

Allows Versailles Wonder to increase building speed.

No idea what this is.

Seems to be non-functional.

Allows Taj-Mahal Wonder to increase max farm count per city.

Allows Kremlin Wonder to increase max farm count per city and max workers count in Woodcutter's Camp and Mine.

Allows Liberty Statue Wonder to create units faster.

Allows Liberty Statue Wonder to increase range of siege units (Catapults and its upgrades).

Allows Liberty Statue Wonder to decrease cost of missiles.

Allows Eiffel Tower Wonder to increase range of siege units (Catapults and its upgrades).

Allows Supercollider Wonder to increase missile cost for enemy nations.

Decreases damage from every air attack (including cruise and even nuclear missiles) to 1.

Allows Space Program Wonder to decrease 'fuel' (techincally it's craft meter) consumption for all aircrafts.

Allows Space Program Wonder to increase damage rate of all aricrafts.

Unused Powers of Nations

Unused Rare Resources Bonuses

Unused Technology Bonuses

This bonus has 'preq0' parameter (which points what technology provides this bonus) 'None' value, unlike other unused abilities, which have 'Disabled' value. With the fact this bonus is located right before 'Entire map becomes explored' (from 6 Science tech) most
