    Mine happens when "waiting for other players". Im going to re-download
    As soon as next update goes through. I still recommend this game though, I may be only one of a couple with this problem it seems. Last update polished the game nice nice.
    Still favorite game ive had this year. Cant wait to get back on it

    Currently we are working on bugs reported for PC version.
    They are apply for all versions that's why we are not rushing with the patch.

    I stopped playing a while ago when it started looking like the iOS version was being neglected in favor of the PC version.

    I hadn't noticed to be honest but if that is where they are making the bulk of their money, I can't really fault them. However, not prioritizing game breaking bugs on either platform was a slap in the face for me. Either way, let's hope it gets fixed so we can all enjoy.

    I just picked it up a day ago. They said that they are doing a couple more hot fixes for PC then updating iOS and Android to 1.31.

    Fixing the game based on PC version is much faster (especially that we are controlling the moment of release and the form), so we are still fixing the game especially that majority of the reported bugs are all-versions connected.
    Tomorrow we are going to release 1.3.0d and probably next week 1.3.0e and then we are planning to start working on 1.3.1 which will be for iOS, Android and PC, probably after that Mac and Linux will join the family.

    Regarding the console version I can only say that it will be released later than July.

    MP still waits for the console release, sorry for the delay, but we are just not able to do it now.

    @doomtrader My Opinion

    As I have said before - this is a great game. On my iPad Air 2 it runs with only very rare glitches. It has been many hours of fun already.

    However, I have been watching the Steam forums on PQ and I am concerned. There have been nerfs implimented in the Steam version (Doomdrakes, etc) as requested by some game players and others are being requested. IMHO one of the big parts of the enjoyment of this game is it has not balanced to the point of blandness. There are some things that are more powerful than others (spells, units, etc) but that adds to the fun as the player can devise a way to defeat those things. Too many 4X games have been ruined (in my opinion) by the developers responding to some community members requests for nerfs until everything is about the same.

    I know that everyone will not share this view. But please do not keep nerfing this game or it will lose what makes it fun and challinging.

    They've fixed alot. Skim through the past pages or check out the app in the app store has a full description.

    @doomtrader when you release this for console, please add that same controller support for iOS via MFI controller support.

    I travel often, when I do (even at home) I connect my iOS device to the hotel tv via HDMI dongle - having a blast with my mobile ios console!

    This game is fun playing on big screen, kicking back on sofa with some wine but sucks having to look at my device to navigate the UI.

    REGARDING CONTROLLER SCHEME FOR CONSOLE:
    If you're looking for an optimized, comfortable, controller scheme for consoles... Look to Civilization Revolution and Halo Wars which released on Xbox 360. Civ Rev has the best control setup imo. I'm pretty sure there are others but Civ Rev was renown for making 4x a joy to play on console with its amazing controller scheme.

    I whole heartedly agree with this statement. Variety is spice as they say.

    I was not aware of the nerf. I'm just getting back into following the game here in the forums - though I've been playing it alot.

    Yeah. I can see that the ice bolt spell don't give me damage in the thousands. That made me quit because it feels like cheating.

    Controller support would be great. I'd love to see how it plays.
