    Yeah, you did ;)
    What I thought about was a recording of the whole match that you can later replay, directly from within the app. No idea if that is technically possible on an iThingie, though.
    If you know "Battle of Wesnoth", look at their "Replay" functionality to get an idea.


    Yes, we did :)
    So my first game with my new 3- deck ended in a crushing defeat for me; good game, Carlos.sz .
    Lesson learned: be careful with playing Mortality, it can backfire easily...

    And sorry for the other 3 tries, I can only guess that GC was acting up again, as I was stuck with the "connecting" message until you disappeared from the matchmaking screen after a few minutes.
    I should be around again later, will be on the lookout if anyone is there for a match.

    Yeah watching it like on the TV!

    I'm really angry, some di(khead on iTunes gave spellcraft a 1 star review because of the syncing thing. But then I noticed that there are only EIGHT reviews of the game in iTunes.

    And I know that one of those is me and one is my Mum (teehee). And there's more than six of you here.... Why has no one left reviews to help the goblins!

    Leave a review!! And get your Mums to also.



    My syncing issue resolved....I was the last one I think!

    It is possible, as each move is already "packaged up" and sent to your opponent. That's basically how Game Center does multiplayer.
    But it's not something we plan to add, unless swamped by demand for it. Sorry.
    Chat is definitely a go-go and I am not going to let Mike Goblin out to play until its done. Pity it won't make it in the next update. Ah well.

    To recap, this is the theoretical plan for the next few updates :

    1st : much smaller app size, help with iCloud madness, some new art, the minor card rebalances mentioned previously

    2nd : chat and 2 new cards per faction. Finish replacement art on the oldest cards

    3rd : much further down the line : Air faction


    After Air, we are not sure what faction to release next. Might well be Mountain, which emphasises defence, for a more sedate pace after Air's speed.

    Here it was stuck in the “connecting” too.

    I’ll play later… See you soon.

    Help!

    I bought a 450 Gold-package 5 minutes ago but my Gold count is still at 27 coins, as before! But the IAP fee was already taken from my account.

    Can anybody help?

    I have already bought some packs for me and my son. The Gold count was never updated while in the store. I always have to tap the Back arrow then the Gold count is refreshed.

    Ok now? Don't worry if its not, we have the technology to fix it! But there is no reason for this to fail for you and if you go back go another screen it will be fine, as Carlos kindly pointed out.

    Cheers,Steve

    Tried everything, nothing worked. Jumping around between the screens, quit and restarted the app, but nothing.

    Still only 27 Gold.

    Damn, just had the worst draw ever in a game. Good game, Lechatcurieux!

    Mike: game is constantly running in the background.

    Yeah sorry Vovin you caught me with quite a heavy handed deck intact. Ive switched to my 0/1/2/3 deck.

    Actually, What do you guys think of this as a suggestion.

    When you get a request you are basically stuck with whatever deck you last had. I've got different decks I use against diffent players so now about the option to select your deck after you get the request? I wonder if that's possible.

    Mortality Card

    Can someone explain it to me, you are all using it, but why? If it damages both of us the same, what's your thought process?

    Mike knows about this, it freaks me out every time I buy gold and the amount at the top under the coins doesn't change until you exit the vault. He's changing it for us.

    Vovin you must have bought at the same time I did yesterday, seems like there was a little problem, I got the tinkly noise but no fanfare so I assumed it hadn't gone through, then the iTunes Store invoice turned up.

    I've emailed Mike who said he would replenish the gold the second he gets home so make sure you email him-send him your iTunes receipt.

    I went back and tried again an hour later and it was working fine again.

    Yes, I am already in mail contact with him, he told me to leave the game up and running. Only problem is that I dunno if it's enough when running in the background or if it has to be the active task.

    Really good games yesterday, Steve! Most hair-rising ones so far, you really kept me on my toes :)
    And I suffered another crushing defeat with my 3- deck.
    I also tried against all AIs, and I almost never win. Starting to think that either my approach is wrong, or that it is just incredibly difficult, when you have nothing to take care of the heavy stuff (no Lost/Taken Under in this deck).

    I should think he means background is fine, it wouldn't make sense to have it permenantly playing. He MIGHT mean to leave it running in the background so he can ask you for a console log. He seems to like them a lot!

    There's a little free app called Sustem Console, when there's any issues I open it, then press 'email console' and a little text file goes over to him. It's a tiny little file full of weird numbers and words. I can't make any sense of it, but when I send one he says 'oh great, I see what you mean'?!

    If anyone wants to help improve the game I'd suggest getting the app and having it ready and waiting just incase you come across any peculiarities.

    (I tried sending iPad crash logs but they weren't in a useful format for him).

    But honestly, don't worry about your gold, he'll sort it out Im sure x
