LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Still need to get the board game of this. Everytime I was about to pull the trigger in the past they release an updated version.
Enough people for 2 matches! Awesome, I'll set up the games later today. Edit: make that tomorrow, wasn't able to get to it today
I think we should set up a time for a live 2v2 game. Otherwise it's likely that it drags on way too long and someone forgets what's going on lol
I'll grab it tonight and shoot you an invite. Got a 4/5 at Pocket Tactics.
lol
Carc pro tip: Always be 6 point farming.

A Brief History of the World should be 99 cents in a few hours.

Pretty sure I had a few NH games disappear because you guys weren't taking your turns! I know my game with Smiley vanished due to inactivity.
I got my copy when they kickstarted the expansion. Very happy with it.

They've fixed a heap of things since the initial release. At 99c it's well worth it.

This is what has me worried about Manhattan Project:
This is vital part of digital board gaming if you ask me.
Added it to my pile haha.

I agree with some games, but Manhattan Project is not as well suited for this in my opinion. It's a medium-length game and on many of your turns there is very little to do. I'd much rather play games like this "live," although I hope they have the async option for those who prefer it too. The more people playing it the better.
Since the game also exists on iPad, I figured I'd post this here:
Get a free Starter Box (10 booster packs, essentially) for Might & Magic: Duel of Champions, the TCG/CCG version of Might & Magic for free!
Just sign up for the alienware website and get the key, essentially. the ingame store is down atm so I can't vouch for it, but it should work. I'm playing through the tutorial atm, and it seems fun. Has a Hearthstone-like mana-system (1 more mana each turn), where cards also have a Hex-like threshold system (you need x mana to cast them, AND your main hero needs to have at least x/y/z in might/magic/destiny to be able to cast the card). On top of that it has a Solforge-like grid-system :lol

Ive got empty game slots in NH! Who wants to play more?

For those that are unaware, it seems these codes from Alienware can be applied only to Ubisoft/Uplay accounts that are less than six hours old... and as such, won't work if you're using a long-standing Uplay account (i.e. if you have an existing Uplay account, you'll need to create a new one, after the ingame store is re-activated, in order to redeem the key for this Starter Box).
That footage kinda worries me.

"Playdeks App will go dark in 2014"
Does that mean the Ascension App that I love and have spent a buttload of money on won't work anymore?
I assume it will all transfer to the new app.
....it fucking better all transfer to the new app.
*cough*

To be fair, I cannot think of a way you'd be able to give someone a free IAP through the App Store. In any case, this is a great way to stop me from ever giving them money again. It was their choice to go this route in the first place. Extremely shitty.

Well then. I guess I better get back into ascension now then! It's not my favourite game, but I have bought all the expansions, so I might as well enjoy it before I never touch it again! No way in hell I'm giving stone blade my money.

They are really stuck by the looks of things.
They offered a code for another Playdek game a while back through the Facebook page.
A friend of mine has a problem with getting TTR IAPs to restore on the iPad Air.
Is anyone else having trouble making an account? I want to give this game a shot
Man I am bummed. I don't want to buy them again.

I sent a tweet to stone blade and they said "@Ascensiongame: @MrRaySpencer @playdek we are working on a solution to ensure that existing players do not have to repurchase content."
I hope they figure it out, cause it's bullshit if they don't.

Good!
Yeah but what about my game ( summoner wars) which just doesn't have my purchase anymore? I would like to play with what I paid for too.

There's a lot of us in the same boat waiting on SW.
They have recreated it on one their devices (which is half the battle) but haven't come up with a fix so far (Booo!).

lots of us are waiting for a SW fix, it's holding up the tournament!
That's also a different company having those issues too. Heh.

No more Le Havre till they remove these bullshit adds! I cant even exit them, until the game centre stuff goes away. Drives me nuts. I will finish the game im in, then im done.

That's weird. I don't see them.
I just pop in for turns but never get pop ups (iPhone).
RaySpencer
Member
Hmmm. I just deleted and redownloaded the app and I haven't had an issue yet. So thanks you might have fixed it.
Edit:
Fuuuuck just noticed 2 of my carc games are done. I lost horribly in both

Lords of Waterdeep will be available for iPhone and iPod too according to Playdek's LOW QA on Facebook. Yay!
Not certain from their answer if that means universal on initial release or if they'll come later.
Also still working on a fix for the SW bug

I just got my reply email from them. I had emailed them Monday to let them know I was affected by it also.
Hopefully they will get this fixed soon. I won't play until they do.
Awesome news! I was not expecting to be able to play on iphone. Now Big Daddy needs to make Eclipse universal.

Could I make a throwaway Uplay account, and then just trade everything to my real one?

Yeah, also the 'should I out this thing here attached to his castle/road/whatever'... 'Or would he get pissed if I did that?' I don't know what I should do most of the time! Haha.
I think I'm going to try playing a game like this with 3 friends in real life so we can talk out all of out moves. Heh.
I think the balance of resources near the end of the game will be really interesting too since sharing the same amount of resources with your teammate means a 20 point boost at the end.

Does the App Store Wish List give you updates when stuff goes on sale? like App Shopper?
