Apparently there was a minor issue with the way Apple released it. Edit: Apparently it is a server thing... it has propagated on some servers, but not all. So is only working for a % of people at the moment. ArtNJ Well-Known Member Jul 13, 2009 3,212 29 48 New Jersey #9 ArtNJ, Jul 4, 2012 My first reaction is unfavorable. The cards are tiny and unless you have them memorized, you have to constantly click on them to see what is what. I couldnt get the tutorial to work, it kept telling me to place the wall on the highlighted square and there was no highlighted square. I think I'll leave this to you hardcore fans. cprloe Well-Known Member Oct 17, 2009 830 0 0 Katy, Texas USA #10 cprloe, Jul 4, 2012 Dammit. It won't let me download it! Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh pjft Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2011 1,082 8 38 #11 pjft, Jul 4, 2012 Last edited: Jul 4, 2012 So, what is the pricing for the bundle? It's too bad that the cards aren't readable without zooming in - is it that unplayable? That is one of the things Ascension did quite well for me. P.S. - I love it that this still plays in my iPod 2g - if I still carried it around I'm only going to play this on my iPad, though. EDIT: FYI, from Gary on BGG: Apple approved it first thing this morning. And then released it straight to the AppStore, ignoring our setting to hold the release until I was to go on the server side. So it is available. I can download it using the direct link. But it isn't appearing in the search engine just yet. Online play is currently unavailable. I need our IT department to make a quick change on our firewall and then we'll be operational. I haven't had a chance to run the tests I like to run before release, so please be patient if there are issues today. We'll get any problems resolved as quickly as possible. ArtNJ Well-Known Member Jul 13, 2009 3,212 29 48 New Jersey #12 ArtNJ, Jul 4, 2012 I had to search Playdek. That is a common trick that all should know for very new releases. cprloe Well-Known Member Oct 17, 2009 830 0 0 Katy, Texas USA #13 cprloe, Jul 4, 2012 Download still not working for me. Why is it working for some people but not others? soldat7 Well-Known Member Jul 12, 2011 754 0 16 #14 soldat7, Jul 4, 2012 I hate the conservative file sizes of Playdek's games. They use fairly low res assets, unfortunately. This, however is their only blemish. Their games destroy all others save Carcssonne.

Oh, thanks apple for enabling multitasking (somewhat). dhgamer Well-Known Member Dec 25, 2008 364 0 16 New York #17 dhgamer, Jul 4, 2012 Bundle is $7.99 and includes everything released so far which is 7 other faction decks, all the reinforcement packs, and the mercenary pack. VeganTnT Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 19, 2008 4,491 3 0 Freelance Entertainment Analyst Orlando, FL #18 VeganTnT, Jul 4, 2012 The highlight is white and pretty faint. It took me a while to figure out where it wanted me to go as well. As for the issues with downloading: We jumped on the game as soon as it was released, so the actual game file hasn't propagated to all the itunes servers yet. DLC is 99 cents per army (7 factions), 99 cents per reinforcement pack (8 plus mercenaries 1), or Everything Bundle 1 for 7.99 Clearly I grabbed the everything bundle since it's the best value pXe Member Dec 16, 2010 21 0 0 Germany #19 pXe, Jul 4, 2012 Last edited: Jul 4, 2012 It crashs instant every time i start the app Ipad 2 5.1.1 (have tried rebooting and closing all other apps, no changes) Vernimator Well-Known Member May 26, 2009 221 0 0 3D Artist, Mobile App Developer Charlotte Area, NC http://www.stratusfx.com #20 Vernimator, Jul 4, 2012 SW iOS Roll Calls here and here.
