Sorry for the massive bump. I just bought Carcassonne today and I'm enjoying the awesome retina graphics and the unique board game style. Any way to add people to one's friend list without using email?
I want the expansions badly. They haven't been updating much lately on their site/blog. I hope they haven't changed their mind about the expansions.
You should check their twitter account: http://twitter.com/carcassonneapp "we'll tackle expansions after the ipad update, which will be out later this year. we're going for the most popular first."
ai is overall ok, but if ai places tile and get few points but looses a lot of points because it connects two big farms - there is room for improvement.
iPad update confirmed to be coming out this month http://blog.carcassonneapp.com/post/2060132711/ipad-update-coming-in-december
Weird means that the AI makes strange choices (making it harder to guess what the AI will do) Evil means that the AI will purposefully try to block your cities and plays much more aggressively
This is great news but... I was hoping they've already been working ont he expansions for months now and were going to release it any time
You never know, perhaps they were working on many aspects in parallel. Sure the iPad aspect was a higher priority but for all we know they were waiting on the iOS 4.2 release before they went over to the iPad and in the meantime had been getting the framework for the expansions in place.
I'm with you but you got to understand that if they were working on both and the universal build broke something they might have to start over on all the work they did for the expansion. They are just building a solid foundation before they start adding new content. Now that the update is confirmed for this month everyone who doesn't have it should be sure to pick it up since the devs said the iPad update means a price increase to 9.99
multiplay works actually fine, but vs one opp games are too random, just luck games. u can wait for piece with several city outs or bended road the whole f game and dont get it. would be good if there was option to wait for a game with several players. it's just annoying to loose when enemy makes a lot of errors but still lucks to get exactly right turns.
I agree with that request. I would like random opponent (and LIVE) games with more then one other player. I don't get why we don't have that. In any case I'm looking forward to the expansions.
OK, so I don't know anything about how this game plays, although it does look good. So my question is, is this a board game played by "normal people", or is it played by the same kind of people who play Dungeons & Dragons, or those who watch Star Trek or something?
