    Is this game similar to the game Uniwar because I loved that and if it is, I need to pick it up :D

    It's similar in the sense that they're both hex based TBS games. But that's about it on the similarities. Wesnoth is fantasy based instead of Sci-fi, it has many campaigns, not just one, each campaign has its own factions (rather than the same 3 factions being used in every campaign), it's constantly being updated with more content, and I'm sure there are other differences. I'd say Uniwar is more casual - Wesnoth is a more hardcore TBS. Also, I think Uniwar places a bit more emphasis on the online play - Wesnoth has it, but I haven't tried it yet.

    Yes, the fixes include:
    - context menu will not come up if you double tap on the status panel
    - you can drag your finger on the status text and the tooltips will properly appear and disappear
    - map will not try to scroll when you move you finger on the status panel or minimap
    - tap the unit icon in the panel for a popup full unit description, or double tap the unit and select "unit description" in the context menu


    Ah, sorry I forgot to mention, yes it does include the bonus "Solo Tower Defense" game. I tried a few other ones, but couldn't get them to work yet...

    More campaigns? This really is hardcore. The saved game syncing with the pc version and improved framerate/loading times sounds terrific. Can't wait - this game is a long term front page fixture on my Iphone.

    + new undead campaign with 10+ hours of gameplay
    + bonus game: "Solo Tower Defence"
    + massive framerate increase!!
    + saved game syncing with desktop versions
    + full in-game unit info popups
    + time of day terrain shading
    + can quickly double tap to move
    + reduced loading times
    + redone "choose an option" dialog, to make way for more RPG campaigns

    The day/night shading is really great, I should have added that sooner heheh

    All hail the one known as "Kyle".

    Dark Hordes sounds interesting...anyone else play Descendant of Darkness (another undead campaign already on the campaign list). Realllly good with a most excellent endgame!

    Really now, this game is approaching "favorite game of all-time" status for me.
