    Awesome. Instant buy for me once it hits the App Store. :D
     
  2. Sounds good but just trying to streamline apps. I got 441 apps now on itunes and trying to eliminate some that have iPad versions. But still say it is $3 for iphone and can 2X it and play on table. Hopefully the ipad version will be worth $5 (just guessing on price) to justify it.

    I think I remember reading in the FAQ that the game will originally only come with single player with the AI or multiplayer hot seat but then it said that additional multiplayer modes are being planned for additional updates.

    Not sure if online multiplayer is at all planned but if it is something you are working on do you think users with the iPhone/iPod Touch version of the game will be able to play online with people with the iPad version? Also will it be with friends or random people.... or both?

    I don't see why people who own the iPad version could not play with people who own the iPhone/iPod Touch version - of course this will be possible :)

    Many people have asked us for adding a asynchronous multiplayer - a mode where players connect to the server, play few rounds, may disconnect and then connect again in some time. We're planning to add this in the next release.

    In addition we think that so called local multiplayer would also be nice - people with iPhones, iPods and iPads meet in one room and they want to play using theirs devices. One of them hosts the game, others connect and play. Quick and simple.

    Of course, multiplayer modes in not the only thing we plan to add in the future, but I can't speak of it yet :)

    Awesome, asynchronous multiplayer was definitely on my wish list. I can't wait until I get my hands on this. :D

    Copy from the best - do it like Carcassonne, being able to run a few asynchronous multiplayer games at any time is great!

    Sure thing, few multilayer sessions at once with asynchronous multiplayer is a must.

    I think the lower right, which I see as the Gladiator-Umpire, is the coolest! :D

    I LOVE the soldier!

    Is there any way you can make some of them into iPod/iPhone wallpapers? I know it won't work for the huge units like the mutant tank thingy but if I can have one of the soldier I would love that! ;)

    I know you guys have planned to release asynchronous multiplayer in the future but don't you think it might be better to release on day 1? Usually when you release multiplayer later your userbase isn't quite as big. Another thing, since you have the hd graphics are there any plans to give retina display support for iPhone 4?


    This is just personal I sight. Lately I've been playing many turn based online games and I love them. I'm I treated in this one so hopefully it's a big hit

    Ahh but I just want to play AI and would be sad if I were made to wait just for the extra options I'd never use. Also I'm assuming all MP aspects will be dependent on this upcoming Game Center deally.

    I agree, aside from LordGek I'm would like to be able to play the game and get the hang of it against the AI before I tackle online so I don't go in not knowing the game completely and getting destroyed by other players. ;)

    @starmonkey101 - not in the first release, I just don't want to tell you more, because it's supposed to be a surprice :)

    @onewithchaos, @LordGek, @Drucifer - I guess I can reveal some implementation details. We're thinking about using OpenFeint for multiplayer, but the OF guys have to work on their multiplayer support, because as for now it's limited to just 2 players (and we need 2, 3 and 4), so as for now there's gonna be just hot seat/device pass multiplayer mode, solitary mode against AI and mix of both (i.e. two players and one AI).

    This game looks fantastic! Really looking forward to the release, and would love to see online multiplayer eventually.
