    It was also updated to fix a few bugs including a crash bug when the speed was set to no delay and a late game lock up.

    I'm not sure if that late game lock up is the bug I experienced with the game saying "(null)" on an ai players turn and the game freezing.

    Until I know for sure that bug was fixed I won't pick up this up. I didn't like going three rounds into a game with a friend and the game having to be deleted

    I wish the dev were here to answer this concern. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Also, do this game and High Society keep stats for your wins/losses/etc.?

    Edit: Nevermind on the stats; I see on screenshot 7 (for both apps) that they do.

    No clue on the bug but yes, it tracks your stats just like this dev's RK Money and RK High Society do.

    Very tempting, except after buying Medici and High Society within 3 days, I am putting this one "on hold"...

    Does this game, like High Society, have no sound at all?

    Does it not have sound? I see some comments to that effect in the reviews, but then that might have been an old version. I don't need much sound, but having it completely silent would be weird and it makes me think it's a half-hearted effort.

    I recently picked up Money again and was astonished how good the KI has become in the meantime. So, you should try it out again. The Kingdoms KI is terrific and beats me almost every time, although I mostly win against human players (playing the real game).

    Decided to give this a try at $1.99. Downloading now. I see an iPad in my future, so this being universal was a plus. :)

    This is a good game and definitely worth 99 cents. I do hope they get the update out adding sound, though. I don't like that this game is completely silent. Also would very much like a pass-and-play multiplayer option.

    This game has been updated with IAP tile and board expansions, and some Game Center achievements. Also, a lite version has just shown up.

    That's good, I like the game and I may buy the IAP to try the new stuff, but like everybody what I most want is online. Hopefully the devs figure out how to do it at some point.

    Is the new IAP worth it?

    Hard to say. They're very straight forward in what they offer, but whether adding in a -8 and +8 tile or two new board configurations are each worth $1, is a call only you can make as a player.

    I'm a fan of the game and gladly snap up all of its IAPs, but still suck so horribly at it I'm in no position to say how these two IAPs affect game balance or "fun".

    I think Kingdoms is my kind of game. I found out that I had actually bought it a long time ago after I discovered Knizia, but never got around to playing it until this latest update.

    Kingdoms is actually a short and simple game, despite the screenshots. The IAP expansions helped to spice things up even further, it is all I have been playing these two days. I am using the Zombies and Monument add-on on the 6x6 map.

    Not too sure how the heroes work yet. In one game, the AI used the female heroine and placed all its tokens on her two rows, which became immune to attack. Lost very badly that time.

    Yeah, those heroes have some very twisted little powers all covered in the game's documentation.
