The iOS app updated again so you’re likely signed out and will not receive notifications until signing back in. Hopefully the game still works…
I just tried to check the game state and I’m hung up on the loading screen again, just like last game.
It hung for me over the weekend when I tried to check, but I got a notification this morning and was able to get in and move. Hopefully it keeps going.
Hanging for me.
Same here, both on iOS and Steam
I’m starting to think that maybe Asmodee doesn’t really know what they are doing
Hmph. I can get into the game and see that @OhBollox is up.
It’s a shame.
I’ll add Asmodee to my „had I a spare few ten millions lying around“ wishlist. Other projects include reinstating Carcassonne, releasing the expansion for Invisible Inc and recovering all the good Slitherine games lost to the Appocalypse.
Sorry chaps, when I slipped Asmodee a fiver to make sure I won, this wasn’t what I had in mind.
I gave them ten…
I was going to suggest we do the definition of insanity and have a third attempt, but I’ve just finished a game against the AI and … nope. But for interesting reasons.
The last patch text is „strict application of the board game rule: using resources and actions to increase an already maxed out Global Parameter is now possible“. That’s it.
I thinks there’s either an unannounced (that I’ve seen) improvement to the AI or (more likely) Asmodee broke something and this is a side-effect. Previously the AI was mad for standard projects. Usually the AI players would be spaffing seas and asteroids all over the landscape, one of them would get the terraformer milestone and the game would be over by generation 9 at the latest. In the last game however, the AI was much more cagey, played projects and VP gaining cards in preference, like you lot basically, and we made it to Gen 13. Much more interesting.
However, there’s some odd behaviour. Tharsis was regularly passing with 60-80 MC in hand, rather than urban sprawling like you or I would. All the AI players were doing pointless heat conversions after the temp track was maxed out, except for Thorgate who ended on something like 90 heat. Also the „Mars is now terraformed“ message appeared every time an action added to a global parameter in the last round.
Tl/dr - presumably another patch is coming. Let’s start no new MP games yet*
*Well, ok, it’s Asmodee. Maybe another patch is coming.
another update/patch has arrived (1.3.5.11625).
another try anyone?
“Names of players now appear in the endgame scoreboard.”
How it took what, 3 years, for that to happen is absolutely mind boggling.
I also don’t see mention of actually being able to see the final scores. I’ve seen this mentioned in other Asmodee games, too, like Game of Thrones. Can they really not figure out over there how to let people see the scores of the games they’ve played?
I’m a little hesitant, here. I love the game but my last three have all been lost mid-game. I have zero confidence that we can get through one. I suppose if there is more interest here I might join, but it is with great trepidation.
I will. Hope springs eternal.
I will.
Oh boy, I guess I’m a glutton for punishment. Count me in…
If you have a slot, count me in as well.
I’ll give it another go, can’t be worse than before
What a testament to the actual game, that we are all so willing to be burned again and again, lol.
