Registered 18 years agoAge of Empires is good but a bit easy. Or stupidly hard. No middle ground.
Anno1701 is meant to be very good.
Try out Advance Wars. -
Try out Civilization IV. You'll be doing yourself a big favour. -

Was there not some WWII hex type war game (Panzer General-ish) mooted for the DS a million years ago?
Panzer Tactics. That seems to be finished (I seem to recall from an interview with the devs) and is currently being munched over by the producers and up for release in Q3. -

Same here. I've been following the progress of this game for ages now. It would be a great addition to the DS. -

Hi everyone,
My name is Marianne and I am helping Disney Interactive Studios with the promotion of the game ‘Anno 1701’ for Nintendo DS, which is released on August 24th.
Stupid. -
Has anyone tried Rondo of Swords or Knights in the Nightmare yet? I've exhausted most of the UK released stuff and am now eyeing up an import or two. -

No, it's original. Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume to give it it's full title. It's rather excellent. -

There is a NEW anno game out which I must get at some point
the original DS game consumed my soul for a good few days -
Age of Empires Mythogies is pretty good.
Has anyone played Tom Clancy's EndWar? Looks like an AW clone on the handheld versions.
If (like me) you're an addict for portable battlefield shenanigans, older PSP games are so cheap now that it's worth buying one just for FFT, JD, R-type tactics, Mytran Wars, Yggdra Union etc. -

There are some really good turn-based battlers for the PSP, aye. The Metal Gear Acids, Jeanne D'Arc, etc.
Never heard of Mytran Wars though, will add it to the list. -
OB, you have good taste. Or we are both utter nerds. Possibly both .gif)

I have it, pretty much a straight port of the original, unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Works well on the DS, though it can sometimes feel like hard work moving your team around the place. Certainly feels like a game from a less streamlined, user friendly age. I am enjoying it, but it does require a degree of patience.
