    Cool. Thanks for the update.
    But now for my iphone anyway, it just means I can see what sync attempt it's up to.
    Tried after doing the update to get an iCloud sync and it got up to sync 5 (which is sync 6 because it starts at 0).
    So then deleted the game on iphone, reinstalled and tried again.
    Not happening. Sync 5 again and won't pull the sync from iCloud.
    Is this STILL an apple issue at the moment?

    Ps thanks for reducing the appsize. Big fan of devs that re-visit this and do a bit of a clean up.

    Update looks great from your description. Great job, Goblins, as always! Need to download and check out the new cards.

    Can I request a "Goblin Brat" card?
    Our curious Cat gave me the idea, when she called our baby "little goblin" :)
    Here you go:
    Goblin Brat
    Attack 1, Life 1
    Quick, Elusive (guess why? :p )
    Special Ability 1: Brat Rage . Use the Goblin Brat to randomly pick an item from either your or your opponent's deck or discard pile. He then throws the item at the creature opposing it, causing damage equal to the item's power cost. Costs as much power as the item's power cost (you have to clean up after him, which is very exhausting ;) )
    Special Ability 2: Screaming Fit. Noone can scream louder than a Goblin Brat not getting his way. He can simply outshout the Howling Banshee, making him immune to her special ability. This ability is always on.
    Note: Personally I would prefer to make this an ability you need to activate first, and that then last for 2-3 rounds. After all, they do calm down after some time. But I do not know if your engine allows for that.

    That's strange Talbs, we all got over that one. Email mike@three goblins.com and hell know.
    Also, sorry if we covered the obvious but try the logging out and back in of game centre/double check Documents and Data is checked in your iCloud settings. People had other suggestions about 6 pages back too x

    Just briefly,

    Make sure wi-fi is on, iCloud is enabled for Documents and Data.
    Also log out of Game Center and back in.

    5 in a Row...

    Hi. Lovely fast playing CCG so far. Been playing for some days now and really enjoy it. Also very good support as far as I read the thread ;)
    But in one of my campaign matches I suddenly faced the attached situation.
    5 Wild Growth on opponents back line...did not really figure out the reason because I cannot look into the complete graveyard (Little weakness in gameplay to me ) but I suppose there must have been some Kobo Miners who digged more Wild Grows as they should have been able to find if considering the card text. Or did I oversee sth else? What do you guys think?

    Hello there,

    Very happy to hear you like the game.
    Regarding your screenshot, all is as it should be :)

    At progressively higher levels some AI decks use more than 4 of a card to keep up the challenge level by providing particular puzzles for the player to overcome.
    Eg how would you win vs a deck with 20 blasting spells or whose forces are mostly immune to spells or can grow at an alarming rate...or anything!


    Regards
    Steve @ThreeGoblins


    Edit : In any case the Kobo Miners only ever dig out Items , not Auras . Thanks.

    @Steve

    I ended up deleting the app and reinstalling, because 15 min on "syncing" on a T1 connection seems a bit much. The actual reinstall went faster than that. This time around I reinstall, didnt tap the single sword (as suggested by the goblin telling me it's my first time playing) and let it sit at "syncing" been about 5 min and nothing. I did have documents / data enabled. signed in and out of game center and still can't play the game. I'd really love to from what everyone says in this thread.

    Uhm, completely kill the Spellcraft task, log out of GC, then launch Spellcraft and log in when prompted in the game.


    @ Gobo Mike: No gold yet, but I think I found the issue and have sent you another mail.

    trying that now Vovin, and it looks to me after 5 min, I may just have to give up. I have no clue what's going on.

    Normally, synching time is 2-3 seconds, in my case. What device are you on?
    Ok, maybe I should give you the steps I did more precisely:

    1. Log out of GC
    2. Kill the Spellcraft task completely from the task bar
    3. Reboot your device (did you do that before?)
    4. After reboot, launch Spellcraft, wait for the GC screen to pop up
    5. log into GC

    Now it should synch normally and don't give you anymore problems.

    Oh, and of course the re-install went faster, cause there's a new version out now, which needs -200MB memory.

    my first install was version 2.01. -- I did every single step as you typed it out. still "syncing" for a good 4-5 min and nothing yet. I give up. I'll wait til the next update.

    What's your iDevice? Type?
    What connection are you on?
    And last question: has your GC account special characters besides the numbers 0-10 and the basic alphabet? Sth like "~", "*", "#" or "//><\\"?

    1) I am on a iPhone 4s.
    2) The connection I am currently on is T1 -- *cant quote exact speeds, but I usually download a 1GB file in less than 5 min*
    3) My GC name is only alphanumeric, no special characters in the name.

    Ok, then I also have no clue what's happening here. Device is good, speed doesn't matter, and the game can't be confused by strange characters. Yelling at your device and jumping onto it wouldn't work either.

    You should wait until one of the three goblins (devs) show up later. Maybe they are able to help you out.

    Oh, btw, the synch is a file of just a few kilobytes, afaik. It saves your card stock and your money stock in the iCloud.
