    Great strategy and some history mixed in makes this a surprisingly good game.

    Late to the party, but what a party it is! Never has history been so much fun.

    Still playing this. Already anticipating being sad when it's all done! As an oldster (46) who's relatively new to gaming (I have a Wii and a DS) I feel I'm only just starting to understand why people liked TBS games in... Read Full Review
