    There was an excellent game Star Wars Arcade, but it stopped working with iOS 7 (or was it 6?). Either way, it's been pulled from the App Store. I still have access to it in iCloud, but it only opens in broken portrait when it was supposed to be in landscape.

    Game is rather weak, lots of AI pathfinding issues. Since the units are ranged I find it extremely annoying when units run throught the entire base, like the scout who is supposed to be a sniper and attack a resource only to b ekilled as 15 units and turrets now focus on them. Same with the land tanks, start shooting a wall rather then go around, and to think one rebel soldier able to take out a tank. Anyways this needs to be better flushed out.

    This game plays just like CoC but it has a much deeper single player campaign. As far as iap, you don't need to buy anything. However, you could easily drop money on it as the iap allows you to finish buildings quicker or buy resources to pay for a building. I am having fun with the game but the ai is horrible. The game definitely needs some work.

    If you want a good village building game, I'd say go with Clash of Clans. Both games will take forever to build to max. I have played CoC for almost 2 years and i still have not maxxed everything....

    Clash of clans chat interface is much better imo too.

    Edit- here is a good tip. If you have not figured it out, heroes or insanely powerful in this game. They are expensive, but a hero is more powerful than all your troops combined. Well worth the 1000 coins. If you hit a base with two turrets, just deploy regular troops. If you hit a base with 3-4 turrets, drop the hero and he will target only the turrets and kill them all without dying. As stupid as the ai is, I am enjoying this. I made a clan on the rebel side called wisconsin if anyone needs a guild. Not sure if ill stick with it but I'll donate troops while I am playing.

    Definitely not only you. I reinstalled the game on my phone backed up the empire side. Deleted the iPad version and started afresh as alliance. What a hassle.

    I miss the AT-ST's and AT-AT's ;) But my base is soo pweeetty now. ;-)

    The chat UI sucks. The soldier AI is awful. The troop capacity doesn't account for differing units (troops show one number, vehicles show another, they don't combine). But I do think the game has potential. Just needs some (massive) upgrades.

    I also restated just now as I disliked the look of the Empire base and didn't feel like your given enough of a look before you have to decide which side to go with.

    The Empire base just looks so dark and metal filled...suppose it should do though.

    Ok, this ai really needs work. It is about ruining the game for me. There will be walls in the middle of nowhere and my tropps will sit there and attack them. Meanwhile getting picked off. Very annoying ;(. Hopefully they fix it. Just not sure how they released them as is....

    I agree.....and the artwork style doesn't fit Star War style!

    I belive the artwork is fine although rebels personally look much better to me because of the building designs.

    The most annoying thing is indeed how dumb the AI can be, but ifi drop troops that go for turrets and troops it tends not to be a problem as much but there is room for improvement in the AI.

    Finally for new people, the game may seem slower than most of CoC type games at the start and it likely is given the tiny amount of storage at the start in production buildings, meaning you can't be away for 8 hours or so and them not fill up. But I'm sure that'll fix itself as you grow, also you gain resources slow at the start.

    What I figured out in this compared to others is that you need to do the campaign as much as you can. My first play I barely bothered until after my protection was gone. On this restart I've done it whenever I can and it's more like a tutorial and help at the start and then just missions and fun after that which give good resources to boost your economy.

    This game is seriously messed up..... what happened to me today.


    attack +14 (1st) -9 (2nd)
    defense -67 (won, base destruction 37%)

    replay screen however shows I gained 12 medals and they lost 20 medals

    so why do I now have only a total of 16 medals after 3 battles?

    After the 3 day shield ------------------------------------------------> 100
    First attack - won +14 -----------------------------------------------> 114
    Second attack - loss -9 ----------------------------------------------> 105

    First defense - won (-67? - not sure how I lost medals if I won!) --------> 38 (what it should show, if this was accurate)
    However replay shows I gained 12, so should have (105 + 12) ----------> 117 (what it should actually show)
    Currently showing ----------------------------------------------------> 16

    So I went to sleep, I had 105 medals, I wake up to see I was attacked. An attack that I won as they only destroyed 37% of my base. and for some reason my medal count is now at 16? I also don't understand how I won a battle and yet lost 67 medals in the process? Shouldn't ANY win be a gain in medals? In reality however I have lost 89 medals over 1 battle, to an opponent that is higher than me! This game is seriously messed up.

    Heros

    Hi. I just started last week, and have a hero "standing by." How do I use him in battle? Is it somthing that comes up in gameplay, or am I missing something?

    Thanks!
     

  16. Heroes are usable only in online mode. I know, that sucks...
