What's your ingame alias? You can find it in the Throne Room menu.

Have you tried reinstalling?

Hopefully it will come in the future and not any sort of technical limitation. Multiplayer makes a lot of sense in a subscription model like Apple Arcade since it basically adds unlimited replayability and variety for the players to come back to, benefitting both the devs and players, not sure why Apple would gimp the functionality and appeal of a game like this…

Trust me, the team was bickering with Apple over requirements and hoops in order to get multiplayer for over a year.

But they said "no", and that's that.

So, Apple forced us to turn off online multiplayer.

We tried. 😢

Are you planning any changes to the capital spawn algorithm? I am not a fan of those games with big, empty continents...

It's an ongoing thing.

So, expect small changes to stuff like that over time.

it's perfect. But why not a +1 per port ?

To make them fully land-based.

Yes it is still happening but it got delayed a bit.

If I remember it correctly, the devs originally planned to release the Ancients first, but during development noticed that it would be better if they rework the naval gameplay before them which was long on their bucket list. Now they can develop the Ancients with the new naval warfare in mind instead of having to change them later again.

The devs will now be probably also occupied with balancing the new Ocean Update. After that the Question is what the devs will do first. Rework the other special tribes, which they confirmed will happen, or bring out the Ancients first.

Either way it will probably be a while till they come out.

Yep! Can confirm.

Comment

We think it's a good change, too!

Would be cool if beta players had an option though to seek out beta players like a toggle or something. Its already coded to know different versions.

Although the discord is available and easy to use, i consider it a hassle to use separate applications, seek out a game, create a game with code, etc. Not to mention the visual clutter of havings a thousand friends or friend requests.

We know, and we're aware of this request.

It seems only if they have the beta downloaded. Others it downgrades to their version. Ive thought about looking for some matches on the official discord with other beta players.

Well, yeah.

Not a bad idea.

Comment

Nope, we properly removed them in the beta

I was wandering if you guys could add more regular tribes. Maybe something western european with knights and stuff or something like carthage

We have a hard rule against adding new Regular tribes, so, no, only Specials from here on out.

Wow, Imperius just gets more dystopian with every lore drop. First we find out that they are mind-controlling their populace with magical music. Then we find out that the Imperius tribe was created through treachery, when the city of Sumtemus sent cloaks to backstab all the other city leaders. Now we discover that they have North Korean levels of control over what enters and exits their country...

The catch being, they are, in fact, the cleanest and most organized place on the Square.

So, dystopian? Maybe. Efficient? Yes, very efficient.

Yes, and the bit about secretly killing and eating him was a joke...

He just left the business and then was replaced later.

Normal business stuff
