Have you seen the screenshots(if they're genuine) of AoE DS?
It looks to me like a cross between Aoe & Civ. It could also be turn-based,
as implied by the 'Longbowmen' screen.

The article that the screenshots came from says that it's turn based:

They'd need to add a fair bit to it to make a decent turn based game, I'd
have thought. Otherwise it's going to be a very simplistic Civ type game.

damn, very sad. There is finally a console which has a mouse style interface
which opens up a whole new RTS world to console gamers..... and they cripple
one of the PC worlds biggest RTS'es by making it turn based.......

You do realise that Civilisation is one of the best games ever created...?

I would love to see SimGolf come out for the DS, and also Pirates.
