[Vague Rant]

This looks ... interesting? Is it actually some kind of game (RTS, maybe?) or just an edutainment type thing?

 

[Domination]

I think this was in one of Hadrians "weekly expected titles" and seem to be a panzer tactics styled strategy game... Looks good even though its from History Channel....

This from Valcon Games' site (the developer of the game):

Conquer the World!

History™ - Great Empires: Rome is a classic, turn-based strategy game for the Nintendo DS™. Take on the role of an Emperor, and guide your fledgling nation to greatness.

You are destined to become the ruler of the known world, but you'll have to employ subtle diplomacy, economic might, and the sword to topple competing governments and tribes.

Capture cities, build buildings, and collect resources strategically to raise the strongest army. Oversee battles with hundreds of troops, like the famed legionairres.

Key Game Features

• Play more than 20 tribes from the period of the Roman Empire
• Raise a personal army - choose the best unit type for the job
• Deep battle strategy, with squad management, orders, and troop formations
• Buildings, city upgrades, and recruitment strategies shape your growing empire
• Diplomatic relations, including treaties, neutral nations, and formal declarations of war
• 4 Roman-themed mini-games for quick play

...I'm only slightly less inept at TBS games than I am at RTS games so I'll be taking a pass but it certainly looks interesting and should be historically accurate considering who's name is behind it.

Anyone have AR codes for this yet?

 

[LunaValeheart]

Has anyone got any AR Codes for this yet? Max Wood, Metal and Food? Recruit 99 Squads instead of 1 e.t.c? These codes sound good.
