I would have to agree that Rome teaches a lot, but its more of a simulator with some historical facts thrown in. As someone above posted, education should encorporate games, but not be just an either-or scenario - ie Read a history text book, read "Art of War", then play Rome:Total War as part of a carriculum. Now THAT would have taught me a lot more than just regular history class.
