    will the game be in stores tomorrow (22) or the day after?

    what a newbie question, but im asking anyway because i hear quite a few different dates (22, 23... so maybe 2 diff dates)

    It's the Royals. The product cannot be released in the UK until Her Majesty has completed at least one campaign.
    Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.

    LOL.. If Her Majesty wanted to play soldiers, she has about 100,000 real ones to go kick arse for her if she asks.....

    This was brought up in another thread and it is basically down to spped of disk production and dispatch... The publisher may be in the USA but I am pretty sure someone mentioned the disks being cut and packaged in South America somewhere, which is why it makes sense that the America's and Australia get it first and then the ROW... Apparantly a single worldwide release is an expensive thing to achieve with lots of stock having to be stored for a while and increases the opportunities for piracy...
