    Apple is so ridiculously paranoid about protecting itself...

    Can someone confirm its still available in purchased history for download? This is really pissing me off.

    It's still available in my purchased history, along with Hunted Cow's Civil War games. So the pulled "Confederate" games are still playable if you've previously purchased them, until IOS 9 breaks them that is.

    It should have never left. At least Apple came to their senses.

    Bought just for the sake of supporting the developer.

    Bought it myself for much of the same reason, although also bought it because after it was gone was checking out the Steam version and was very impressed by the game vids and user reviews. Looks like it will be worth playing when I free up some time.

    I suspect it was developers like these that would rather not be in the appstore than alter a *historical* wargame to rewrite history that helped bring about Apple's "clarification" of going from a wholesale ban on the CBF to merely getting it out of the spotlight. While the second still makes little sense, context is what makes something offensive and unworthy of inclusion in the app store, not the symbol in and of itself, it's at least a workable compromise between a giant corporation who wants to be seen as doing something to be on the right side of history and developers simply using the CBF in the only context it inarguably *should* be used in.

    Yup, 10.1.1 here.

    There is a warning about it "slowing down the iPad" and the Dev needing to update it but that can be ignored.

    Still a good looking game, you've reminded me I need to play it again.

    Why, oh why have we not seen a sequel to this? Or even an update? Paging Dr. Dev... paging Dr. Dev...

    iPhone Support

    I saw on App Shopper that this had iPhone support now. I searched the App Store with no results but was able to purchase it in iTunes and install it on my iPhone 7 Plus. Weird how it's not showing up on the App Store. Anyways, for those of you with iPhones, it works!

    Happy this one made it through with 64bit support. Was going to say the only thing that would make it better would be universal support... then I read Shortdogs post above and tried it out and it's true, not sure how I missed that. Great little extra surprise.

    This is great work Devs. Looks like Slitherine are one of the few Deus who won’t update there apps to 64 bit. They look to be slithering away from the fan base on iOS. Thank goodness there are plenty of other great Deus out there to take their place.

    Don't go hard on Slitherine,most of their 32 bit games (Battle Academy 1 & 2) are very hard to make 64 bit due to problems with the game's old engine.

    Ok, but what about Qvadriga? That one was made with the same Unity Engine ... and they will not update it ... but they sell all their software in the AppStore without any warning that everything will die with iOS 11 ...
