not really, how should I say it, you dont really have specific building to build certain units like having the barracks to tun out infantry units, all units are created in capital cities, I would explain more but it's better to see just one session of gameplay and you should get the idea. Though you can develop buildings that are in capital cities to increase production/science so you can research tech faster or develop buildings/new units faster.

oh and victory doens always have to be destroy/capture the final capital city of your enemies(conquest), there are many ways to win like the fully research everything and finally build a space colony(which continues to beyond earth) or having fully developed culture, there's even a victory for building the most wonders.

I don't know why I clicked on this one.

But I am going to have WAY TOO MUCH FUN WITH THIS.

My wife knows it well too. In Rise of Nations I basically keep the game in perpetual nuclear embargo from WWII onward while raining cruise missiles and stealth bombers on any foes.

Large caliber short barrel gun on a tiny hull and turret is cute on a tank.

For a light tank the Stuart chassis is actually pretty big.

Tall actually by the looks of it, most US tanks that era is pretty tall compared to other's(actually same height but wider, so that it looks normal)

Same width + taller height = overall larger.
