Mother Of All Battles for Positive User Reviews
✓ I can’t buy large mapsIt is just loading forever, i cannot purchase large maps.Version: 2.2
✓ Good GameGood game, strategic gameplay. Glad to see new updates! Definitely a top 5 and better than any AAA game in simplicity and function!.Version: 2.3
✓ My favorite gameUPDATE: I'm happy to see another update. This absolutely my favorite game after years of playing it. They did an incredible job in improving one of my favorite games. Please make this a multiplayer gam so that it would make this the absolute best..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Brings two classic games back to lifeLike most reviewers, I was a passionate fan of "Strategic Conquest" and "Empire Deluxe" and long yearned for an app that would embrace what they did. This definitely accomplishes that, so this was a great find after years of not being able to play. Overall, I like most everything about it, but it could benefit from a few improvements. Most notably, I'm not in love with the way pieces are directed around the board, since you have to engage with each piece individually. Could there be a single control panel in a fixed place that serves all pieces so that your hand doesn't have to keep jumping around the board? Also, it would be great to be able to see all of the units currently in production at once, rather than having to click on every city. Otherwise, this is a really good game that I've already spent many hours playing..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Fantastic strategic war gameOne of the first games I bought for my old Mac plus it's called Strategic Conquest. It was easily one of the most addictive and compelling turn-based strategy games going. Sadly it was never updated to keep up with Mac iOS. This game is a wonderful adaptation of it for the iPhone. The only drawback is that once you get good, the AI will be no match for you..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Recent revisions great!!You can’t go wrong. Better than the old Strategic Conquest IMHO. All of Sean’s stuff is great! Would love to see an “End the turn” option for when you just don’t care what the rest of your pieces do. Have unmoved pieces treated like “done”..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Love it!Great game, retro but good. Random map generator please!.Version: 2.2
✓ The way games wereBefore the present day games were mostly simple graphics but huge on imagination and content. This is a classic that you can spend hours, days and weeks on. Reminds me of my first love on the MAC SE in the 1980s, Reach For The Stars RFTS. If I had been paid by the hour I would be a rich man...thks to the developer/distributor for a great strategy game like the days of old..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Strategic Conquest type excellentReminiscent of the old Mac game Strategic Conquest. You will love it..Version: 2.2
✓ Please add sandbox mode!Being able to place units, city’s, enemie units etc. Best turn base I have played..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Turn based strategy at its bestOld school and one of the first turn based strategy games. Great adaptation for iPhone. Free version will keep me playing for weeks before I buy the extended maps..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great gameLove the game- reminiscent of “strategic conquest” on old Mac, but better. Would be better if there was a 2 player (human vs human) version..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Update fixed my problem!I just installed the new update, and now the app crashes instantly. It's totally unplayable, and I lost all of my in-app purchases as a result. Very upset and disappointed, as this was a favorite game. ETA — The newest update solved the problem on my iPad 2 (v8.1.3), and everything seems to be running fine. Looking forward to trying out the new tweaks and maps! Thanks!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ More games neededHi Sean, great addictive game, I’ve completed all maps on the hardest level, could you please add more maps!? Thanks….Version: 3.4.0
✓ More Maps !!!Love this game would love to buy more maps. Also how about random generated start positions?? Finally could we track how long a map took to beat..right now you just know if you completed it but the number of days to win would be cool. But really just more maps!! I'll pay a buck or two for that!!!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ EMPIRE!I have an Amiga 1200 set up specifically for Empire, and if you are a fan like me, you will love this game. Things I would love to see: -direction arrows on the edge of the screen or in a central spot, like the center icon. on the iphone the little ones are a bit tough. (this is a biggie) -draw a line for unit deployment -supply routes -patrol routes -slow down/replay, or have a list of computer moves. -ability to zoom in and out: not a biggie but would be cool, give us an overview of the whole discovered map -Multiple games going, with password lock -Go a direction command -scout for tanks -random maps we can't see -hit points on units- repair when in cities -keyboard support? I haven't tried with a bluetooth keyboard, but that would be cool- keyboard connected, directional arrows go away. -unit status. -play a friend online would be sweet, even via pass and play, bluetooth or network. I have a few friends who would be thrilled to sit around a table at a restaurant and play each other. Developer has an opportunity to create a game that will continue to make money perpetually- extra maps tourneys quick ad bug at round starts Anyways, thank you for giving us back Empire and making it portable and keeping it it close to the original..Version: 1.4
✓ To ConnorAdd pass and play please.Also,more free maps would be nice.Cool game.Version: 2.0.3
✓ VERY fun game.This game is exactly what I was looking for, in terms of a laid-back but challenging turn-based strategy game for the iPad. The best part is that it is free! The beauty of this game is its simplicity, as it offers an experience similar to other strategy games like Advance Wars or Tiny Metal, with a very small learning curve. I am having a blast just building up my armies and navy to invade enemy islands and conquer the world. Don't pass up this gem. Pros: -30 starting maps, plus 300+ more maps that can be purchased -competent AI -naval combat -Fog of war -frequent developer updates Cons: -could use a grid overlay -infantry division units would be an interesting addition -terrain could be more varied (hills, passable forests, roads).Version: 3.4.0
✓ Empire lives!A decent rendition of the old text empire and related games. Pretty good, but I have a few wishes: * zoom setting so I can have slightly larger squares, at the cost of seeing less of the world. * the ability to set destinations rather than moving pieces one square at a time. * really REALLY need auto-paths for new construction, for new arrivals, and for repeating orders. Older versions let you set up these paths to dramatically reduce the amount of micro-management required. * empire-wide management screens would help a lot -- ie spreadsheet lists of cities and units. * have an option to turn off the surrender messages... if I want to pummel the enemy into dust, I don't want to listen to his annoying attempts to surrender!.Version: 1.3
✓ MoreTake another run at this and put patrol and auto load and finish by computer like strategic conquest. Love this game..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Additional varietyThe game has many maps, and the addition of the option to end the game when conquering a certain portion of the map is also convenient. It might be an interesting idea to add maps which are almost all land, to enphasize ground type warfare. Perhaps one of those maps could also have a single small river with a few bases along it's route to emphasize geound warfare, but offer a strategic opportunity to supplement an assault with ships and resources. Oh, maybe another option where there's a chance the difficulty could get even harder (or their resources build twice as fast), and different colored teams merge together against the main player as they conquer more of the map. Maybe that could be a randomly generated thing. Still, a fun, addicting game..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Mother of All ReviewsThis is the single best game for killing the battery of my iPad that I've found. Absolutely terrific!! Would like to see more maps - Large and Sparse to bring the navy into play, or maybe a random map generator (input size, type, # of opponents, difficulty). MOB is super-playable, and lots of fun. Excellent and highly recommended! This is THE ONLY Empire-style game in the iStore worth having..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great Empire style gameIf you know the classic Empire, or even if you don't, this is a great strategic turn based game. Simple game play with infinite possibilities. The only thing I would like to see changed is a path setter. Eg I want to move my destroyer half way across the world. I should be able to set an end path and it follows that path each turn till it gets there (wakes up when it sees enemies etc). Would make game play management much easier. Referencing instructions while in game, and multiple saved games would be great as well..Version: 1.4
✓ Human OpponentsHaving had played Strategic Conqest since the mid 80s, I was very happy to find this game for the iPhone. The game is close to the original but lacks one huge element- playing against a human or multiple human opponents. Hooking up multiple toaster box macs through AppleTalk is what made the original so fantastic! This version is still a good “time killer” with the ai, but networking between humans is what really made this a challenging game!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ I love itThis is my solitaire. I have played hundreds of hours on this.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Zoomed out map should be able to be turned offLoved this game and played it all the time but recently added zoomed out map makes the pieces too small. Need to have a way to turn it on/off. Great game until last update!!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Excellently funThe new worlds for each level are a welcome quarantine gift. Always a fun and challenging game..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Empire strikes backThis is great. This is Empire for the iPad. For those not familiar with this strategy game, it is very similar to a very old PC game that fitted onto a floppy disc. It is very simple to learn but not so easy to win. The idea is to conquer all the cities. Each city can produce armies, aircraft etc. Costal cities can produce ships ranging from transport to aircraft carries. May not appeal to die hard strategy gamers but I love it..Version: 1.0
✓ Old time strategyInteresting game - like the old atari / commodore 64 / PC "Empire" game - well done. If your are a nostalgic - you will love this one.Version: 1.1
✓ Bring back old school featuresI LOVE playing this game, and will continue to be addicted to it, but I agree that there are a few features from Strategic conquest, that would be great for this. Definitely bring back the city production list, as that only seems realistic that any warring power would want to take inventory and scheduling on what they’re producing. Also the old game used to have a feature where, before you sent a plane flying or ship on a certain course, you could drag the cursor to a place in the map to see how many sections you’d be traveling, or you could also set a ship sailing all the way across the world if you dragged that far. Also, as morbid as it sounds, I think you should bring back the future of being able to attack your own vehicles, as sometimes you need to clear something out of the way to attack an opponent ..Version: 2.2
✓ SuggestionsNext version should have one computer opponent. Computer vs computer takes pressure off at the beginning. I win almost all battles on most difficult setting Higher cost for transports would also help gameplay.Version: 2.3
✓ WarI love this game totally. You can travel to other islands. I was Wrong in my last review. Sorry Sean!! I must've been doing it All wrong. The graphics are still great. The sound is better too. Thanks Shane..Version: 1.0
✓ Missing useful featuresWish it can let me save maps (eg maps I lost in) that I can replay again later. Also wish I can watch how I won/lost at the end of a game ....Version: 3.8.1
✓ A nice update to a great gameThe new up date while adding details now has very tiny arrow buttons to move forces. It has now become very tedious to use on my iPhone. A fix would be appreciated. *I have changed my review as the developer has improved the user interface to meet expectations. I also like the feature that allows setting a path with a long finger hold. It helps simplify the game play..Version: 3.0.1
✓ My favorite appLoved Strategic Conquest and even kept an old Mac for years just to keep playing it. This is just as good as that great old game. Play this all the time. I’m just sorry it took so long to find this game. Some ideas for enhancements - ability to see the entire world indicating where the revealed enemy is; random maps; unit list; city list and ability to delete own pieces. Again - love this game!.Version: 1.4
✓ Great little strategy gameVery nice turn based game for Civ and other war game players. Quite well suited to iOS, fun and strategic without being too indepth..Version: 1.2
✓ Almost as good as the original PC gameIntuitive play. Could do with more maps..Version: 2.2
✓ Map of the dayI love this game. Bought every update. Map of the day? Any diff from the map generator/customization update I purchased last year? Why would I pay you to generate a map for me while I can use the map making feature I a,ready paid for? Am I missing something? Oh can you increase the difficulty level. I’ll definitely buy that update. Great job Sean!.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Love this game!Don't have to have network to play! Play at your level, it will be challenging!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ Great MemoriesBrings back memories of playing Strategic Conquest back in the early 90s! Missing a few features from the version I remember (being able to set patrol parameters rather than random) and isn’t multiplayer, but has been a blast to play again..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Finally here!I've been waiting forever for this on iOS, and it's a good transition. Some serious simple blast-em turn-based warfare to be had, no wasting time on building civilization or any of that jazz - sometimes that's all you really want to kill an hour or two. I'm glad some important changes have been made, but the endgame is still annoying as hell - you have to tap arrows so many times on jets every turn that you get cramps, where on a pc it's a one-click operation. Very bad implementation. Worse, I've bought this game on so many platforms now that I just can't bring myself to buy $8 worth of map packs, especially when the pc game includes tons more. I'm glad he keeps improving it, I just hope he works on fixing the more annoying bits..Version: 1.3
✓ Strategic ConquestIf you like 4x games, this is for you. It's exceptional. I finally deleted it from my devices yesterday because I had spent hundreds of hours playing it over the past few months. It had taken over my life. But that's my addictive personality and it's not your problem. :) Frankly, I had the same problem with the original Strategic Conquest when I was a 23 y/o. I did all-nighters playing the game in 1989 and suffered the next day at work. My only quibble is that there's no auto-forwarding of units, so it can be a little tedius moving every piece near the end of the game when you have a lot of them. Doesn't matter. The game is immersive and takes over your life. You dream about it and think about it when other people are speaking. Food becomes optional. 33 years later, and it still caused me to play all night and suffer at work the next day..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Bringing back memoriesFor a modern iPad app, this is a very basic game. That is because it is an old game! I remember playing this wonderful game by Sean O'Connor back running windows 3.1! It is just enjoy returning to it after all these years… At £2.50 it's a little steep But there are no hidden extras to come. and compared to modern games it's very basic but do buy it. I enjoyed it immensely..Version: 1.4
✓ Strategic ConquestI used to love strategic conquest on my Mac. This game is close to the original, but as mentioned in other reviews, would be nice to pick the number of opponents. Also nice would be if the game kept track of how many days it took to beat each board, so that way I could play again and try to beat my record..Version: 2.2
✓ Great revival of a classicGreat version of the classic Strategic Conquest. Would have rated five stars except one increasingly frustrating issue. With large maps and sparse cities it is very frustrating trying to use bombers. You approach a city and one or two spaces before you detonate, it runs out of fuel and turns around with an almost guarantee to be shot down. A counter or vessel turning a different color with 3-5 spaces left to go would help dramatically..Version: 2.2
✓ Was looking for an update to Strategic Conquest.Great game, I appreciate the limited scope so a game can be completed in about an hour. The Carrier is unnecessary though and the helicopters that were in the later versions of Strategic Conquest would be a nice addition. I like the paratroopers though. If you were looking for Strategic Conquest anywhere, this is it . The playability on iPad with the controls is superior to the old mouse-based game and the change to multiple countries vs. you is also a nice touch so it's got some features the original didn't have. Games don't bog down and take 6 hours like the original so that's much appreciated. Make some more maps, I'd pay for an update!.Version: 1.2
✓ Great. But crashed.Super game. Played many games. But I click on a screen of map of the day and the game crashed and cannot restart. Help.Version: 3.8.1
✓ A good old game but it has a bug recentlyI played this game for many years when it only had pc version. I am still playing it now but in iPad. However recently I found a bug which some cities are not able to produce army ( tanks) in custom map. Hope this defect is resolved..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Great on an iPadI used to play this game on the PC many years ago. So many hours spent. Now as an app, I have played through the very hard level on every map on every type. This has been my go to time filler for years. Is ideal if played on an iPad, and with a stylus. Best money for value I’ve ever spent on a single game. Would like the option of having tanks heal, for tanks to be able to really hurt battleships, and bombers to refuel on aircraft carriers..Version: 2.3
✓ Wonderful GameCan’t say enough about this game. Very streamlined with many tactical choices. I played Empire Deluxe on the PC decades ago and on my iPad now and this version of MoAB is superior. The AI plays very aggressively at the Hard and Very Hard levels. It can be a real challenge to win at the higher levels of play, if you start off in the middle of the map and are surrounded by your enemies. Find a corner to defend yourself and build out..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Suggestions For ImprovementI was an addict of Strategic Conquest on the Macintosh 30 years ago. I do have a few suggestions to make Version 2.2 even better: 1. Have a city inventory list so the user can see what they are making & quickly make changes. 2. Provide a ruler tool so the user knows the distance between pieces/cities to accurately calculate striking range. It is frustrating when you think your bomber is in range and it falls short. To accomplish this, I suggest you have a “Measurement” button, that if clicked, lets the user click two squares and it will tell the number of squares between them. 3. Have the ability to attack an opponent’s city from a transport. 4. Have the ability to let the user determine the time it takes to build objects & what objects can be built for themselves & the opponent. This would make it so the user can determine their own skill level on a piece by piece basis. 5. Have a random map feature for those of us that play a lot and have memorized the existing maps. 6. Have the user possess the ability to save a game at various stages & return to that timeframe. This way, if a user makes a few bad moves, they can try again from a saved spot and make different moves. 7. Have it so planes don’t change course on their own to fuel up. Sometimes I want to run a suicide mission and don’t want pieces deviating from the course I set for them. 8. Provide an auto-play feature, so that when you have the game in hand, you can speed up the outcome by letting the program finish playing for you. 9. When you set a current destination for a piece, it should not stop unless it encounters enemy or reaches destination. It seems like I constantly have to tell the same piece the destination I assigned to it. 10. Make it so pieces that are on patrol stop if they encounter any enemy piece. This would give the user the option to attack the enemy if they want. Sometimes pieces ignore enemy encounters. 11. It would be great if the user had the ability to set specific patrols for any piece. For example, have a button called “Destination” whereby if you click on that button and then click on a piece and then click on the desired patrol square, that piece will go to that destination and return to the same square it was on when you set the destination automatically (unless it encounters an enemy in which case the patrol would cease). If a city is clicked after clicking the “Destination” button, then any piece that reaches that city will be automatically re-routed to the destination square. This would save a lot of time manually moving each piece every day. 12. Make it so ships that are on patrol don’t go back to any square they have already visited during that turn (if possible). Right now, there are a lot of times where ships just go back & forth between two squares & don’t cover much surface area. Also, ships on patrol should give higher priority to uncovering black squares to reveal the rest of the board. 13. Let the user determine the length of time an opponent attack is shown on the screen & blink the attacking piece a few times so the user can tell what is attacking what piece. When I play the game, lots of times I hear explosions and have no idea what piece is being attacked by what piece. Sometimes the screen doesn’t scroll to where the attack is taking place, so I don’t have any info at all. 14. When a transport touches land not 100% controlled by the player, it should automatically wake the armies on board. Lots of times my transport will be the last piece moved for the day, and upon reaching the land, I don’t get the opportunity to unload the armies before the enemy starts its turn. 15. It would be nice if the program told you what kind of piece you were attacking in a city & if you were successful in destroying it. 16. Have it so a game already in progress tells the user what the skill level is. If I have multiple games going, I have no idea which game is playing on what level. Can you tell I play this game too much?.Version: 2.2
✓ Blast from the pastGreat to see strategic conquest return. Needs some minor interface tweaks, but otherwise has the best of the past with some great moves for the iPad. Can hardly wait to see what they can do with double taps etc. Would like to see artillery and bombers with ever increasing blast zones as the game progresses. Good job! But......big but here. Do not upgrade. The upgrade is buggy and you will loose all of the games you paid for if you reboot the program. I would drop a full two stars because of this..but this app has another flaw..Version: 2.0
✓ Multi-playerWould pay for this app if it were multi-player like the old strat con on the Mac..Version: 2.2
