    That's a bit annoying - wish you could have put that in the description or something then I would have waited till I'd finished my current game before updating.

    Here are some quite annoying bugs I encountered while playing on iPhone 5:

    1) Pinch zoom not working properly. Every time I want to zoom in or out I have to try at least 7 times for the game to properly register it - most times it just moves the map.

    2) Holding a button or a map space not registering. 7 times out of 10 if I hold my finger on something, the game thinks I clicked it and my character moves there instead of just showing me information on the tile / weapon / etc. It's quite game breaking when you have 5 moves left, you want to get into the city, but it's occupied by a villager and you want to know if you can take him on, so you press and hold...and your hero attacks. Boom, you lose, game over.

    If this got fixed, GOTY nominee for me for sure.

    How heavy is the strategy here? I am very bad at 4x games.

    After the update, my saved file now only shows clouds on the device. Anyone else having this issue?

    A lot of people are.

    I suspect it's due to the map algorithm changes.

    You can start a new game and it will be fine. Saved games though went kaput.

    There really needs to be a long press info pop up for traits when you're forced to choose between them. Also, just had a map where an ancient treasure generated in the corner but it was blocked by an ankh and a water spot.

    Would also be great to be able to see trait abilities while in the card flipping screen. Interesting so far but still getting the hang of it.

    Totaly agree!
    For me it's as good as Sproggiwood or Imbroglio


    And I would add that the quest tab stay hilighted even though there's no new quest.

    Pinch Zoom is my biggest problem.

    Ho! And sometimes I step on an empty space and it triggers a battle. Is there supposed to be invisible ennemy? And sometimes it triggers 2-3 battles in a row on the same square....#

    Been playing for 3-4 hours.
    I would definitly say YES!

    But it depends if your into 4x/roguelike game!

    For me the most annoying "bug" is the pinch zoom not working properly.
    It's a bit tedious.
    Other than that, really enjoyable!

    Exactly the same issues on the air 2.
    In fact the pinch zoom issue seems to have got worse since the update.

    Yes - We have full translations for Spanish, German, Russian, French, Portuguese (Brazilian & EU), Chinese, Dutch, Hungarian.

    And even better, if you see a translation bug and/or want to help us translate a different language, we have that all setup to allow you to help with via Google Spreadsheets! More info: http://heartshapedgames.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2349

    Yes it does seem like pinch zoom is acting a little finicky, we've added it to our short list of things to try and improve. Testing now, I found trying different starting positions with your fingers (closer together or farther apart) may help figure out the "right" way to do it on your device until we get a proper fix in. Thanks for the report.

    I haven't seen this one before, but some thoughts:

    -when you are long pressing on a space that is blank (no building or object occupying it) the game has nothing to display, so there is no change to the sidebar.
    -If a space is already selected, you won't see a change, even if the object you want to see is in a lower tab. You then have to hit the actual tab of the thing you want to inspect on the sidebar instead.
    -For spaces where you can also move, if you're having trouble, you can try long pressing, then sliding your finger away from the space until it is off of the area that might trigger a move.
    -Before trying to long press something, tap onto a space that is not moveable just to "reset" the sidebar to your player. This shouldn't matter, but seems to work reliably when I do that.

    Hope that helps! And thanks everyone for the kind praise of the game, after working so hard on it it is great to hear that you enjoy playing.

    -Scott

    I want to grab this game even though I never gotten into 4x games but love rogue likes
    But after checking out the steam page I'm a little hesitant looking at the reviews

    If you (dev) can tell me you'll deff be trying to tackle the bugs and what not then I'll dive in =] thanks in advance

    A lot of the negative Steam reviews are due to the controversy around the developer (will summarize below):

    1) He ran a Kickstarter for Hero Generations, which was coded in Flash,
    2) He was charging for the re-release of Hero Generations: ReGen, which was coded in Unity (he provided previous buyers with a 66% coupon code),
    3) Some felt they should have received the new version for free, instead of being charged for it (some people cited Kingdom, developer cited Binding of Isaac as a counter-example),
    4) Developer ignores criticisms/complaints (well, I think there are some queries in this thread that hasn't been addressed).

    In general though, the game isn't as buggy?

    Legitimate concerns are:

    1) Old saves don't work with the new update (game breaking)
    2) Pinching to zoom in and out doesn't always work (not game breaking)
    3) Long press to view opponent's stats doesn't always work when you're next to opponent, as you end up attacking them instead (limits player options but not game breaking)
