(click to play the video)Dawn of Discovery, a real-time strategy and simulation game for the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC, is now available in stores.

King George’s land is suffering from severe droughts and brutal famine. Aware of his people’s distress, the king calls on his two sons, William and Edward, to acquire new territories in order to produce enough goods to satisfy the needs of his empire’s inhabitants. Whereas Edward suggests aggressive means to collect the precious resources, his brother William offers a peaceful solution, proposing to explore new and unsettled lands in the south of the kingdom. With his Father’s blessing, William heads south to the mysterious Orient and returns with valuable new technologies, such as the water pump that allows dry lands to be cultivated in order to produce enough food for the people. But there are still many unmet needs within the king’s empire, and players are tasked with fulfilling those needs.

Explore the world and discover new places to create your civilization, set up trade posts in the spice mines of the Orient and explore new trade routes to keep your nation growing, and learn from other nearby cultures to expand your horizons and master the challenges of establishing a prosperous society. Game features include 2-player co-op mode for the Wii, and integration with Ubi.com allows PC players to track achievements, climb leader boards and challenge others online.
