Summary: Till it froze mid-save and refused ever to start up again, this was my favourite ever DS game. Wonderful gameplay - like a cross between the PC original and chess or, i suppose, Advance wars.
If Majestico would just sort out the bugs i'd recommend it to anyone. But until then, it's a waste of money. Such a shame.

Summary: I liked the game well enough until it stopped working. At first I was afraid I hadn't put the game card in securely enough and would just lose my saved data. But no, after I tried to play again I got nothing but two black screens. I found out later that Magesco had heard about this glitch and hasn't yet released a fix. A temporary work around was release to use 4 or more characters in your name. I found out about this only after my game had permenently frozen.

Summary: This game is amazing but it has a terrible bug. DONT SAVE ON EMPIRE MAP OR THE GAME WILL FREEZE and you wont be able to play it again. I had this happen to me twice now and figured it out. Now remember that! I have only pressed save and quit that caused this error but I wouldnt take any chances.
