How does this differ from your previous word-based territory game?

The very first game I played (the game that auto started) had an issue where the computer wouldn't play a turn until I closed the app and came back. I didnt have to force quit, just go back to the home screen and tap on the app again. Edit: It looks like this occurs after an incorrect word and skipping the joker. iPhone X 11.3 (15E216) The Pell fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Apr 6, 2018 |

"GOUDA" is indeed a word. And also a perfectly fine cheese E: I can't believe "Joe" counts. Crappy AI.

Two crashes: One while creating a new group game, I played the word “RELAXING” Another when I clicked on a notification that another player played a word E: Typo - “They Merchant played...” Ex2: ok, It’s actually “They [username] played...” E3: Another crash when using the notification to go to a game. It worked once between those times, though. Final Edit, I swear: iPhone 6+, iOS 11.3 My player number is 10K1 DarkHorse fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Had the game crash after playing a game (intro) poking around the menus, going to new game, selecting merchant. Crash. Also the first game isn’t clear on which color I am or what the object of the game is. It just jumps you in. (I mean it’s easy to figure out, but still grandma might not get it)

This game needs to be a lot clearer what the rules are for valid words, especially if you're forcing a skip or to use a paid resource to change a word. Apparently it's OK for the AI to use Franklin and Paris but Aegean(as in the sea) is not a valid word.

Some instructions before jumping you into the first game were you go first might be a good idea. I didn't know I could even select letters on the other side by the red crown until the AI did it after my failed turn.

I like the idea for the game. Friend code: 10LH Also, not sure if this is intended or not, but you can jump a letter that isn't connected by selecting it and then selecting a letter that connects it back to your color zone.

Trying this out as delfin on my Fire HD10. The app yoinks me into Portrait mode automatically, which I wasn't entirely expecting but fine. Seconding what others have said about a tutorial of sorts and tooltips and such for your first game or two -- it's logical once you get it but it took me a few tries to work out who was who and what I was doing. I didn't get the "you're blue" message until I'd closed and reopened the app. I played a few games against the CPU, lost at least twice without even realizing that I was in danger of losing. Once I worked out how to play defense it was much smoother. I have a game open against a Knight that seems frozen -- I played and it's just sitting there. NB-wordsroyale-1778 if you can look it up from your end. I opened a second game against a Merchant to try to continue while the Knight makes up his mind (1784), and that too is stuck. EDIT: The CPU finally moved after several minutes. Does the single-player game require a network connection, BTW? delfin fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Are most people not seeing the tips during the tutorial game or is it that the tips aren't adequate?

eeenmachine posted:Are most people not seeing the tips during the tutorial game or is it that the tips aren't adequate? In my first game, they did not pop up at all and I could not move for a while. I closed the app, restarted it, and eventually I did get "You're blue" and the next one. Could probably use some handholding like "The enemy is vulnerable -- capture this tile to win!" or "You're vulnerable -- better reclaim this hex!" early on. Also, when I first started the app, I had a coin balance of zero. There was the weekly gift at right to get me started, once I noticed it and clicked it, but no other obvious way with which to get enough coins to start my first game. delfin fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Guess who thought you could only play letters that were attached to your area of influence.... I figured since were a dark grey color when I depressed the letter, they would not be allowed or considered in play for me. e1: I haven't seen any tips pop up e2: I love that this game is completely not about trying to make the biggest most sophisticated word that you can... cause I'm dumb and word games highlight that. e3: Forwarded the form to my wife for her to sign up. That's not an issue right? rotaryfun fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Downloaded and installed, playing as monty. I fired off a #SA game and waiting for someone to match to. Will post as/if bad things happen! Running this on a Pixel 2 XL with Android 8.1.0.

Just dumped me into the start. A quick tour would be nice. (Or maybe ask if I want one) Also echoing the ‘it wasn’t clear I could use non adjacent hexes until the AI did it’. Edit I played this morning on my 9.7” iPad Pro and didn’t get the “you are blue” popup. I just loaded it on my iPhone 8 and got it.

I think you should consider making the Q a Qu like in Scrabble. It also might be a good idea to make whatever pulls new letters to make sure there are at least two vowels on the board at all times.

I haven't been able to figure out the cause, but it seems when I de-select a letter, it will sometimes completely clear my whole word rather than just the letter I removed.

On a first generation Pixel-game automatically takes me to a tutorial, allows me to take one turn, and then that's it. I put in a word, a bunch of tiles are revealed, and then nothing else happens and nothing works. Game is unresponsive.
