iPad is a much bigger screen than it’s ever been on before!

But no. It would be an entirely new development effort to do Mac (or Windows). I realize current Mac users who don’t have iOS devices have the hardest time playing (since Macs don’t have Classic or Windows). At least Windows owners can run the original game if they have no iOS device.

I don't mind this is not going universal, I am fine with what I have now. :P

I dont really understand the game concept but I am really interested, just want to be sure before I splash out for it.

Do you battle mythical beasts like Dragons in this game?

That's only possible if you run into a battle as an event. •••Spoiler:  I actually had an event in my game where my exploration party discovered a dragon's cave. I sent a group of warriors to kill the dragon and got a LOT of cows-worth of goods but there wasn't any turn based element to the battle - I just selected how many troops to send and then it gave me the battle results.

The normal battle mechanics in this game when you attack other clans or have to defend against other clans' attacks are not "interactive" in the sense that you select the types of attacks in a turn based manner. Its more like the real old strategy games from the 80s where you select the number of troops to fight, pick your strategy (charge straight in, evade, etc), what your goal is (plunder, take land,etc), select how much magic you want to use in the fight, and so forth. Then the battle results are provided to you. Sometimes a battle event will happen that you have to make a decision for one of your leaders but its more of an input->output type system which can reward/punish you more based on how much risk you take.

Its really more of a strategy like game with random events that pop up that you have to manage. Your choices in those events can help you later on in the game or can hurt you in the future.

Eli’s review covered it pretty well. Your goal is not to fight dragons, but to unify (not conquer) Dragon Pass.

Just wanted to let folks know that we will be releasing a Universal version at some point. http://kingofdragonpass.blogspot.com...al-update.html

I'd just like to clarify: Will the universal update apply to the iPhone version currently out? Grand to hear that there's a universal update either way.
