MTW coming to cell phones?

I half-suspect this of being a late April Fool's joke:

I'm not really sure how MTW can possibly translate to a little phone screen, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

That dreaded phrase "based on..." tends to suggest it will be something dumbed down and simplified to death, otherwise I don't see how it could possibly be done either

Hmmm, I've seen Medieval 2: Total War when I was browsing the games on my phone, but I was not at all tempted to get it... But this couldn't be referring to that since it says it will be released in September. Makes me wonder if I should get it... probably not.

The one thing I noticed is the statement that the battle system will be turn-based. Assuming that's correct and not a typo, then I'm particularly curious as to how they'll pull that off.

Yuck.

Why?

I almost came away from it thinking that were are just going to be looking at what is essentially a re-skinned Risk game but then I noticed it said it will have support for both the campaign map AND battle maps and now I'm a little confused. I know cell phones have definitely improved in recent years in over all processing power, but I can't quite grasp my head around what exaclty they are planning with this game...

This is what puzzles me as well.

Oh, and welcome to the Org, mate.

Well I got interested a few months ago in Age of Empires 3 for my cell phone, but it was rather crappy when I downloaded it.. :( So I think MTW2 on your mobile isn't that much of an interesting game on your mobile phone! ;)

Thanks! I've decided I've lurked long enough and went ahead and registered (something I probably should've done a while ago).

why not just go home to play your computer games?

I doubt there will be any decent implementation of Medieval in a cell phone.. At most it will work out like the old "Centurion" (which back at it´s time it was pretty good, and the closest thing to a "Total War" game. But certainly not par with any of it´s modern offspring).
