Great game!

Sold better than I thought (170k in NA alone, so I guess at least 250k worldwide).

Agreed Montana. By the end it gets ridiculously hard though... at least IMO.

Okay, now that we have decent discussion here, does anyone else think that the Mongol campaign was ridiculously easy? It says "medium," but it has to be even easier than the tutorial.

Agreed. Very cool game we have here. I loved the different scenarios you play through. Besides, how many DS games can say they have Templar Knights?!?!
