Australia incoming. All of the DLC packs needed to be updated. It's still not in the app yet, so hopefully soon. EDIT: it’s in! $4.99 USD as expected.
Will there be a universal app update for the iPhone? In the case of Crowntakers, I think it's ok to have hope ... What do you think?
You should ask Aspyr via their support if you want the real answer, anything anyone else says is just (un)informed opinion. My opinion is..........probably not, Crowntakers UI is so much less complex than this so not a great comparison.
I think so, too. But except for the indie developer, a typical game company's reply might be a somewhat meaningless mechanical answer. I thought there would be users of the TA who personally know the developer. Sometimes news from the forum is found more quickly than official information. Nevertheless, thank you for your thoughts.
New DLC today! "Will you choose Persia or Macedon? New Civilization VI DLC available now for iPad! Full game 50% off!" It's $8.99. You get both for the $8.99 IAP.
They probably had both ready when the last update hit, but decided to hold it back. When you buy the new pack, it downloads resources for it.
Summer & Fall 2017 Update is out now! Head back in and pick up the Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack ($4.99) and the Khmer & Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack ($8.99)! Theyre catching up to the desktop version!
1 step behind the desktop client (was there a winter 2017 update?). Soon itll be more because of the spring 2018 update. Behind on: Rise and Fall Winter 2017? Soon: Spring 2018 Am I missing anything else?
Fair enough. Then iPad is 1 patch behind the Mac, 2 patches behind PC as of now. Thats pretty amazing for something people throw tantrums over for being too much and not on iPhone
There were some pretty good tantrums thrown around the web. Aspire have really solidly supported this which is awesome. I really hope it means it works for them and we see more support for epic desktop ports which are reconfigured to support touch in a good way Thanks Aspyr!
If Aspyr Bioshockd this game and dropped support immediately out of the gate that could potentially be a huge setback for other publishers one day bringing their full premium games to mobile and selling them for a full premium price. I guess what I am saying is all eyes are on Aspyr and the Civ VI experiment and so far Aspyr is supporting the game like a full premium game should be supported. If Aspyr continues down the path of quality support they may win over the guy or girl who loves civilization yet is skeptical of mobile gaming who normally wouldnt pay above a certain amount.
For those on the fence about paying for the full game on iPad, it's on sale for $24 right now for a limited time. I wonder if Rise & Fall is close to being launched on iPad. We seem to get iPad sales around the time they release a content update. Looks like the existing add on content is on sale as well, $2.99 & $5.99 depending on the pack.
Finally broke down and bought it. $23.99 price tag did the trick. Now if I could only enable retina without a computer. ☹️
$24 is a great deal for Civ VI. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The whole retina thing is weird since some users seem to have no issues with enabling the setting from deep within the game but I have to think Aspyr must believe the setting is too unstable for it to be offered as a regular setting. Just my guess. Even without Retina and a few graphical bells & whistles from the PC version the mobile version is amazing considering that only a couple of years ago a fully featured Civilization game was a pipe dream for mobile users.
I’m hoping that Aspyr will update with a Retina toggle at some point. I don’t see the harm in giving the option. Gamers are doing it right and left anyway. Aspyr could add a disclaimer in order to protect themselves. However, I’m ok with the current graphics. While I’d love a higher resolution for my Pro 12.9, I’m not terribly upset with the way things look in their default duds. I’ll live with it if I have to. I’m happy to have such a great game on this portable system. Note to Aspyr people: Don’t make me live with it forever. K?
Out of nowhere the game is now available for iPhone (7 and above). I’ll download and try later today. The full game unlock is also on discount. If it’s not luggy on my 7plus I’m totally buying it.
