it's fun for about 2 minutes, until you realize that there is not strategy involved at all.
The staging area is useless because the position of the soldier does not matter, the unit types don't matter, the terrain doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is having level 12 units.
btw, I finished level 8 and having to scroll the map back to the left after every battle was so annoying.
Conquering Europe is a waste of time as they are way underpowered by the time you get there.

very fun game, but a few improvements are necessary to give this a 5, such as more interactive gameplay. I see a few sequel opportunities for this using other world conquerors, such as Alexander the Great. 4/5

Reminds me of that old magnetic football game where you place the players on the metal field and turn on the power to watch them vibrate toward each other until the Quarterback breaks through for a touchdown. For this game, I agree with other comments that formations need to be saved. Also, maybe Fight Mode would be more interesting if set per soldier. The game was interesting for a couple of missions, but was repetitive so I stopped playing.

maybe I jsut don't get it but it seems really simple with little skill involved meaning a pretty dull long drawn out game.

i agree with dronekill. the game is way too easy. another thing i found annoying is that it's not possible to swap troops, so to put the higher lvl pikes in front you have to leave one field of the stage area blank to sort around.

tricky.. no.. draggy.. yes..
a few point to improve on. allow the game to remember your formation so that it will not be so irritating to move ever troop to the location you want. it get irritating when you have got like 30++ units. plus at least let teh game remember where you last view teh map before going into battle. it suckx everytime to have to go back to the map i want to conquer. . overall. a game that can keep improving

slipstream... israel was only REfounded in 1945... it used to be a thriving country until it was separated by its people

Really quiet easy especially the first few missions although what got me rather annoyed was I thought you could mission after mission completing one after another.

what is the reason you have to re-capture all the same countries you already captured for new missions? sense no make.

Too pathetically easy. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/9199/tiogagb2.png
Not to mention, scrolling across everytime I want to kill a tiny country gets the slightest bit irritating. 3/5.

Nice game, could have used a historical map instead of a modern one though. Also got repetitive at times, but overall, I had fun playing it

I think this is a very nice game. The battle and invading concepts are wonderful. What's bad is that there should be much more use of cavalry on the Mongolian side, since it was one of the most important things to them, and I also dislike that the countries you invade are present-day countries and not the historical countries from back then. 4/5

That was cool, I like this kind of game. Kudos to the risk-style map and the level ups. More units and other things would be cool. I wish there was some way to save unit positions or something, having to redo it each time was a bit annoying. Great game!

Hearing everyone say this was easy I played it on hard (mission and setting) and without reading instructions had no trouble snowballing all the countries. There are several annoyances about the interface (no formation save, no shortcuts for placing units etc.) and all the alterations I would make to the gameplay (income method, evolving opponent armies, reinforcement etc) would make this an entirely different game. All in all dull. 2/5
