  • In my language there too many special letter often used not in base keyboard like many accent characters (I know the quick swipe shortcuts to get them, but it's still a lot of trouble).
  • Lack of tabs, and for the current system like tabs but slower to use, each time you put a tab in front it refresh, awful even if I suppose memory limits could be a problem but with that fast disk a cache management would be easy.
  • I have more but the list is long enough.
So this thread has turned to an iPad device review. LOL! Anyway I'm actually more than content with my iPad. I'm loving it, but I totally agree with a couple of your points. Scrolling in edit box is tough. What you have to do is scroll by highlighting, which is very taxing. And yes, opening a tab shouldn't autorefresh. At least there should be a setting to turn autorefresh off. Sometimes though, there have been instances when it hasn't autorefreshed regardless if I had wifi signal at the time or not. The pain of autorefresh is when you saved pages to read later on. Once you open the tab, you have to wait again to have it loaded. Worse of course is if you're in a wifi-less area. Your saved page would be gone. Nevertheless, these are issues that Apple can, and hopefully would, fix later on.

Sure all complain I listed would be quick and easy to fix, Apple just need some concurrent to have their ass kicked. Once Mozilla is going through Apple validation process and working well I'm pretty sure I'll never come back to Safari crap again, like on my Mac.

Actually, you can scroll by putting 2 fingers on the screen in the text box and scrolling normally.

Good I'll try that, thanks for the hint. Is there somewhere a list of commands?

Yes, definitely enjoying this game a lot after getting it - it requires careful thought and strategy, true, which might scare casual gamers. But simple unit management and knowledge of terrain and unit advantages/ disadvantages should be enough.

Im currently at the mission where you fight 2 of the 4 (Millia and the Blaze Duke) and after beating it, and then reading a walkthrough on GameFAQS it seems its possible to recruit one of them in this mission! Anyone manage to recruit either one successfully? I'll repeat this mission again as I dont want to miss on this chance!

To buy or not to buy ?

Any impressions of this game on newer devices? Any bugs left ? Wasn't updated for a long time ...

I really liked this game, but I quit at some point, since I had no clue what to do and got killed everytime almost instantly, so I deleted the game..
Maybe they fixed some issues, didn't keep track of it anymore.

I completed and liked it on an iPod 2g back then, but IMHO, there is too little variation in missions and the tactical system kinda runs out of steam towards the end. It is quite interesting in the beginning/middle, though.
They also made a valiant effort with the story, with picture panels and everything, but it is quite ridiculous, in entertaining or annoying way depending on your tastes.

No clue how it works on newer iOSes/hardware or in fact what the HD version is like. Sorry.
