Good news... Good news folks. According to an interview with Big Daddy's Lukasz (posted today over at BGG) the NH update with two new armies has already been submitted to Apple...
Neuroshima Hex new armies - New York and Neojungle Yes! New update with two new armies was sent to Apple for approval. To show your the armies with more detail we prepared a short promotional video explaining new units abilites. New armies will be available as IAPs with a promotional price of 0.99$ each. Of course we'll let you know ASAP Apple approves this update. Also don't forget to check out this information on our website: http://www.neuroshimahex.com/880/new-armies-for-neuroshima-hex-new-york-and-neojungle/
!!! Will there be a six army war with a larger board? That'd be AWESOME!!! Seriously, this game needs team play! Been stuck hopelessly into this game with 2v1v1 matches against AI with a friend
Nice promo vid... the mechanics of NY look fun. I was researching the Babel-13 expansion ( from which these two armies come ) and noticed that it also includes some additional terrain tiles to change up the hex map? Do you guys implement these? ( I've never played the board game myself, so have no idea how they affect play )... Also, will you guys do Vegas and Smart armies as well? ANSWER FROM OTHER SITE: "multiplayer first, then other armies"
New update is OUT!!!! NeoJungle and New York armies are available for a dollar (will normally be priced at 1.99)
Come on, Vegan, you were 4 minutes faster than me! All our apps are now on sale - Neuroshima Hex drops to 2.99$, Neuroshima Hex Puzzle to 0.99$ and each army is now available for 0.99$.

Still waiting for the price to drop so I can buy the new armies but poking around and reading all the new text I have a few thoughts on the update and game in general. I absolutely hate that giant yellow banners The "Roots" Board tile has a misspelling (sa instead of as) The new Big Daddy Creations button seems a bit much. You could easily change the Other button to show games and have all the info that was under that button be available on the main menu with an About section I don't like the new way of selecting armies in Custom Game. I think it should be Human opponent/AI/Off. Tapping should stick to changing between armies. I've never been a fan of the pause button on the right. You use the Next Phase button every round and have to cross your hand in front of the screen which ruins immersion. Since the addition of the information panel I only use the pause button to restart a game
Technically the IAP isn't even out yet (You can tell because it doesn't show in the Appstore). Once the new armies are approved they will be at the lower price
Sign... Spoiler *censored* Hopefully you are right about the 'price drop' at a later date... Problem is, I do believe you've got that IAP display thing wrong. It shows 'Top In App Purchases", not 'available IAPs' therefore the IAPs aren't displayed because not enough people have bought them. Though I'm able to confirm that the IAP is purchasable (I didn't buy 'em though).
All IAP take longer to be made available than the updated build. I'm not sure if it's part of the review process or if just a matter of all servers getting the updated build before the IAP rolls out, but it always takes a few hours before IAPs actually work (Unless the app was held due to a scheduled release date) I also confirmed with Big Daddy via twitter about 3 hours ago that they lowered the price and they are waiting for the change to process. Don't worry, I won't steer you wrong
Well, says 99 cents on the display now, but Apple prompts 1.99 on each purchase. Making progress at least
