I cant wait till the next update to this game. The next update to this game is probably my most anticipated out of all the new games coming out.
Just reinstalled in anticipation of the update having already finished almost all campaigns ages ago. Still a wonderful game BUT....I discovered it doesn't support task switching, and no asyncronous multiplayer with notifications (never tried before). Having only recently discovered the joys of asyncronous gaming...Wesnoth with those things added would be simply AWESOME. Any news about WHAT the update will bring?
Any word on this? The people over at the Wesnoth forum don't seem to have heard anything about an update, and the Wulven site makes no mention of Battle for Wesnoth . . . Sorry for the big bump, but I noticed that Kyle Poole had posted a few days ago, and I thought he might be around . . .
Just tried using the sync saves feature and discovered a bug. If you try to upload any save that requires scrolling the screen to find it, you aren't able to tap on it to upload it. Strangely, if you scroll to the bottom of the list, those will work - it's only when you're looking at the middle of the list.
so, is the online part still active? i need a good TBS with story and online modes.... this seems to fit the bill the best
This game is assuredly great, and it can be downloaded for free at wesnoth.org... But I can't promise the iPhone version is still great. It has been well over a year since the last update, and the caretakers of this fine game seem to have abandoned the project. A few Apple iOS updates can really wreck stability of the app if not maintained... If true, it would be a shame as the developer was truly excellent and delivered needed and appreciated updates the first year of its release. I hope this project will live again, sometime.
Looks like there's some other news from AnAdolt, the community manager for Shadow Era, over at the Wesnoth Forums. Apparently, there is work being done on an update to the iOS port, but there's been no ETA or other info released: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35331&start=15#p522831
Yeah, Kyle (the dev) said back around November that they're working on an update to Wesnoth. Didn't go into much detail about it though.
Thanks for the info, guys! Reading the post RedDream linked to, I see that the official Wesnoth project caretakers have no control over the updates to this app because it is strictly under Kyle's developer account. Its good to hear that the game will resume support hopefully soon tho. In the meanwhile I just wish the communication could have been better...with both fans who already purchased the app AND with the potential customers who are browsing the app store and should be informed as to the current state of the app (i.e. in hibernation/no longer fully functional).
yes an update is urgently required. Multiplayer doesn't work as advertised! Still lots to play and enjoy with the single player campaigns, but lack of proper async multiplayer is a major letdown.
The tutorial mentions a "show enemy moves" option that should be in the action menu. Unfortunately, it's not there. It should highlight all hexes that enemies could move to so I don't have to peck all enemies and play a memory game to figure out a safe hex to move a wounded or otherwise weak unit. Where is the "show enemy moves"?
This. I still play at least once a week and just icloud support instead of the current save game syncing would make me happy
When's this blasted game going to get an update to enable its multiplayer to work as advertised. I feel totally conned.
