    FWIW, Slitherine commented this week that the Devs are now focused on this game after having to work on a different game recently which is what caused the delay....no time table was given other than it should not be much longer.

    I guess we will see....

    I had another build yesterday. Still not happy with the UI so we're working to improve it and make it easier to control squads. Progress is being made but we don't want to release before its ready.

    Yes we're basically done except for a performance issue we're trying to solve. Its proving a bit tricky to track down but we;re still working on it.

    Finally!

    Great news Iain...it's about time!!

    Thanks again for the updates and keep up the good work!

    Other than Real Racing 3 this has been one of the few iOS games I really care about and I can't wait to finally see this on my iPad!:D

    This game really needs more hype now that it is close....

    I don't think some people understand how awesome this game will be on a touch screen!:D

    Hey, Iain

    Now that Legion is out could we get an update on GBM? Any luck with the bug hunting/performance issue? Thanks as always! :)

    This one is tricky because its a 3rd party developer and they are not free to work on it till next week. We're pushing to get it all sorted but its out of our direct control unlike BA and Legion, which are internally developed. We're pushing really hard so hope to have some news soon.

    Thank you very much as always, Iain.

    Ahhhhh, that clears up something I've been curious about which is what games exactly do you develop in-house and which ones you just publish....

    But, again, thank you for your efforts because I've never been a PC gamer and its nice to get many great strategy games on iOS thanks to you guys....especially the ones that are perfectly suited for touchscreen input.:D

    I still think Battle Academy is the BEST game on the App Store! It's a true shame that this site has never covered it but I am not surprised either...:rolleyes: And I am loving Legion as well!

    Tell the HGBM Devs they must not like money because that game will sell very well in my humble opinion....so CRACK THAT WHIP!!

    Thanks guys. We did develop the PC version internally but didn't want to invest resources in the 360 and PS3 versions and as a result the porting company now knows the code base and we don't so they also did Android and iOS but that does slow things down.

    All of your posts are asking for promo codes! Your not even supposed to go begging for codes never mind for games that are not even out.

    New info....getting close to release!

    Here is some new info from Slitherine's site...not much longer!:D




    The iPad version of one of our historical hits, Great Battles Medieval, will soon be released on iTunes!

    Great Battles Medieval is a blend of RPG and deep Real-Time Strategy that allows you to lead the English army during the Hundred Years War. With more than 20 different units, an almost infinite number of equipment combinations and the most detailed and realistic medieval combat model ever created this game will excite veterans and newcomers. IAP’s allow you to lead the French, purchases additional mercenary units and boost your gold reserves.
    The game was originally designed to be played with either mouse or game pads, and this has made the cross over to touch screens much more seamless than for some strategy titles. This is a must have for every iWargamers everywhere!

    Following the lead of Battle Academy, Legion and Conquest!, Great Battles Medieval is another step for Slitherine in its aim to bring its Classics to new audiences.
