Portal is taking N. Hex back from Big Daddy’s.

There’s no way they could do worse with online multiplayer, so … bring it on, Portal. Let’s see what you’ve got.
let’s hope a new edition will refresh interest in this great game again.
itm we are not enough players for a tournament.
I’d like to see the newer factions, too. Uranopolis is one of my favorite factions and Death Breath looks like it could be fun, though I haven’t played it yet.
here we are!
the long awaited update by Portal is live!
can’t wait to check out the online client.
who is ready for a game?
Is it? I haven’t received an update yet.
what? how can it be? version 3.1, Oct 30th
what? no one wants to play a game?
I received it today sometime.
I know it wasn’t there this morning before I left for work, though.
I’m all updated.
and ready to play, i presume 
Haha… I’ll never sell you out, @whovian223! I’m always up for a game, (still) atrocious multiplayer notwithstanding.
ok, i will send you a PM with an email address, so you can invite me to a game 
now this is a bummer!
the link in the invite email does not function.
so we are sitting here with a kind of busted online multiplayer 
Wow… just… wow. Such a great game, such a godawful port. Might be the second worst example of this, following Suburbia.
Just playing the devil’s advocate, here, since I want to cling to some shred of hope that things will get better.
Does anyone know how long Portal has actually had the app back in their hands? I know the reacquisition of the property was announced some time ago, but how long have they been working on it? I’m secretly hoping that they did little more than throw their name on the splash screen initially, with plans to work on it down the road.
The original app at some point simply stopped working for me. I couldn’t invite anyone, including my friends, and I never received notifications. If the new version hasn’t improved anything, the app is DOA for me.
i think Portal must rework the online multiplayer part.
my ingame friendslist is so outdated and screwed. for many players there are 3 or 4 entries, other long-time GC friends are not included at all. and games with new friends totally impossible itm 
it should be easy to install password protected games at least.
i guess a CGE- and Playdek-like own friendslist system might be too much for them 
One suspects that Portal basically took back the code and slapped their logo on it. Everything else appears completely identical.
The only mystery is who did how much work on the new faction. I’ll give them credit for that; at least there’s some new content.
But, bottom line, N. Hex retains its prize as the worst multiplayer experience possible in strategy gaming.
now it’s more of a no-multiplayer-at-all experience. except with strangers and very old friends from the archaic ingame GC-based friendslist
how could they do this? downgrading and ruining a low level status even more??
and it took nearly a year of hard work.
Does anyone know if there has been any word from Portal regarding this game?
I can’t even start a game with friends who are in my GC list - I just get an error every time I try. Why reacquire your game and then let it fester?
Haven’t heard a thing, nor have I seen an update since the initial artwork change… too bad, I do love this game. The app, on the other hand, is a hot sloppy mess.
it’s a complete desaster
one of the BEST tactical 2P games in the appstore ruined and destroyed by a clueless and incompetent company named Portal Games.
and weren’t they very loudmouth about the relaunch?
the only way to contact their “support” seems to be by FB.
i posted a message on their board.
