I played a game this evening where the AI’s first turn as grey took over two minutes. I’ll happily note any patterns I happen to come across and send them through your bug report portal.
Playdek released a Steam update and should have iOS and Android out shortly (if not already) with an AI fix.
Apparently it wasn’t programmed to correctly take into account the pivotal spaces and how the players are using them.
Supposedly means it’s much better.
The update should also fix the AI taking more than 12 seconds to make a decision in certain situations. Let me know if you see any more extended thinking.
We’ll be releasing another update shortly with a fix for 4 cards that are implemented correctly. The “transfer” cards that allow to remove tokens from the board and then add 4 back onto the map should allow you to use tokens from your token pool.

That’s awesome!
Thanks for being so quick with these changes.
Hey, Gary.
I just noticed something, though.
The complaint I’ve seen on BGG about this is also that the game is letting you use tokens from your crisis track. It should only be allowing them to be taken from your token pool.
Is that what you mean (i.e. what the update will change)?
Where are you seeing complaints about it?
This is exactly what I’m saying we will fix in the next update. Those 4 cards will only be able to add tokens to the map from your token pool.
For those not subscribed to Playdek’s newsletters, they’re apparently running a sale on Fort Sumter for a week to mark the first anniversary of its release (on both Steam and mobile, though the price drop doesn’t seem to have reached the former yet). For a quid, it’s well worth picking up if you haven’t yet.

Second this. Fabulous compact game, beautifully implemented by Playdek as ever. Go get it if you haven’t already.
I third this!
One of my favourite games.
I got a bit burned out playing multiple games at a time multiple times when the app first came out, but I do really enjoy it.
I don’t know how anyone plays multiple games of anything at the same time! I don’t have the brainpower for that…

Is this where I say I’m in 4 games of Labyrinth: the War on Terror on Steam? LOL
Oh, and @js619 liking my post reminds me that I’m currently in 14 Ascension games.

Worst part is that I’m only the same side in two out of my four, so have to rethink my objectives constantly lol
I didn’t care for this game at first, but with multiple plays I grew to appreciate it. Nothing about it made me feel like I was involved in the Civil War in any way though…
If any new purchasers are looking for a game, feel free to send me an invite. Just remember to save your Armaments cards for final scoring!
