However, individual townspeople are no longer represented in the game, and instead are reduced to nothing but a number.

You still build homes to increase your population, mine for resources to build new structures, and produce goods to earn cash and experience. The city building portion of the game feels quite similar to Trade Nations, though with a few elements removed. Your ultimate goal is not only to build up a bustling military city but to create an army to ensure it’s well defended, as well. It’s worth pushing through all the text though, because there’s a lot to enjoy in Battle Nations. Some of the characters are fun, in particular the young mechanic, but the story and world aren’t all that interesting and so the dialog can become an obstacle in the way of the actual game. Characters will give you missions and just generally chatter away whenever something of importance happens. But in Battle Nations you’ll be forced to sit through lots and lots of exposition. This is a drastic departure from Trade Nations which had no real story at all. The story can be a little hard to follow at times and what you’re doing and why you’re doing it aren’t always clear. The game puts you in control of a military commander as you, as far as we can tell, attempt to expand your empire into new areas. It doesn’t have the deepest city building mechanic, and the simplified combat leaves something to be desired, but when put together the two halves make for a largely enjoyable experience. Only now you have to deal with training troops and defending your territory as well. You still build up a city, harvest resources, and create goods. In a lot of ways it’s Trade Nations with turn-based combat. And with Battle Nations, developer Z2Live has done something very similar.

With Empires & Allies, Zynga essentially took the CityVille template and added combat to it. Battle Nations adds guns to Trade Nations, but removes the personality
