Through the Ages for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don’t purchase until connectivity issues are fixedWhen working properly, this game is really well done. Great interface, intuitive, true to the board game but with worthwhile digital improvements. It should get 5 stars. Connectivity issues, however, make this a frustrating purchase. At least once a day over the past several months I’ve found it impossible to play because the server can’t handle the traffic. This is especially frustrating when playing a live game where your failure to play results in your forfeit. If I were buying this for the first time I’d wait until someone I trust told me the connectivity issues were resolved. Until then you’ll just be paying for something that works only part of the time..WillBillTonyVersion: 1.8.16

✓ Battery HogGreat game but drains battery very quickly for some reason compared to my other apps..DeveriousViveriousVersion: 2.19.872

✓ Crashes on Ipad multiple times when playing the scenariosWhen trying to play the scenarios, the game just crashes mid-game and you lose all your progress. Some scenarios won't even start and will just crash. Will be requesting a refund..SpaceboyyyyVersion: 2.14.429

✓ Online mode completely brokenAfter reading the excellent reviews I thought I’d give it a go and now wish I hadn’t. The Online mode is broken as it appears to be stuck in a perpetual loop to get you to agree to their terms of service and privacy policy agreement with no way to accept them. I’ve tried to contact the devs directly and had no reply and the Czech games forum reports the same issues for other people going back a month or two. There’s no appends to those thread by the devs so I can only assume they don’t monitor the conversations in technical support or don’t care. Avoid unless you want to immediately go through the hassle of refunding..SlowbiusVersion: 2.11.47

✓ Not CivWhen I bought this game, the description said it’s just like Civilization. Well, it’s not. The game last an hour at maximum, you can’t even save it. It’s comparable quick and simple. Definitely not worth £10. If the description said “it’s like very minimalistic and very fast civilization” and costed, let’s say £4, I could call it a fair bargain. But in this case, I feel cheated..BallsOfSteelBabyVersion: 1.0.62

✓ Online problemsOverall this is a great implementation of my favourite boardgame. My main issue is that the game seems to freeze on the online screen which renders it unplayable online. Downgraded from 2 to 1 star. $15AU is too much to pay to not be able to play the game online. I don't really care much for playing against the AI..SalvyWalvyVersion: 1.0.60

✓ Fix the create gameIt’s a great game and I want to give it 5 stars. But until u guys fix the new game creation I’m giving it a one star so it gets noticed. For other multi player games if u want to actually have a rematch with the same players there is a button for that. Not to watch the entire game again but play with the same folk again. You guys need to fix this. Come up with an easier way to play again with your friends..Toronto-userVersion: 2.11.47

✓ Can't click and drag on iPad mini first gen!!Great app but since the new update I can't scroll through the challenge menus or click and drag. I can only tap which means there are certain actions that I can't do and makes the game unplayable. This was fine at first version but no longer works due to recent update. Please fix otherwise this is a fantastic app!!.AwlrockVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Now I rememberI've played over 200 games and kept detailed records and now I remember why we stopped playing this game at the game club. It's way too militaristic. The AI (or one of them anyway if playing with 4 players), always goes military (I've seen a 54 military) and then will constantly attack the human player. This, despite the fact other AI players have significantly more victory points and have weaker military. This sometime will happen in the board game version, and because of this military skew that provides such game altering effects, we have stooped playing and I fear this is also the case for the digital version. I enjoy the mechanics of the game, but the military aspect is too powerful and makes playing the game unenjoyable at times.Vfggbh1123Version: 1.3.1

✓ Too complicatedI’m sure it’s a great game if you know how to play it, but it’s far too complicated for me, I even got stuck on the tutorial :( it’s impossible to reach the end of the tutorial when you have to match the opponents strength, i’ve tried every possible combination of cards and i can’t get anywhere near it, very frustrating. What’s the point of having a tutorial when I have to figure it out for myself?.ChrisR36Version: 1.5.1

✓ CrashesIt’s crashing frequently in challenges.John109473Version: 1.8.16

✓ Fantastic board game, APP is a let downThis game has a fault, I have played several times only to find I get no food on production, consequently loses me the game. If you have a worker on your farm you should get resources. Please check this out developers. Not happy as I love playing this game..KejvoVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Great, but bugs make it impossible to playAmazing adaptation of one of the best board games of all time. However, a significant bug affecting connecting to online games on iOS is still unfixed after over a year. Has this game been abandoned by the devs?.TwynsicleVersion: 2.11.47

✓ Excellent port of the brilliant board gamePlays quickly and well, interface is user friendly and forgiving. Great implementation. (Edited 14 Oct 17: knocked two stars off because upgrade patch continually crashes the game during challenges part way through game in progress. Have screen shot of crash).Chris999doVersion: 1.2.4

✓ Missing a FeatureThe port to iOS is excellent, however it's missing the feature to pass and play with the possibility to add a bot for a third and/or fourth player. Almost every other boardgame port to iOS include this feature so it is disapointing that an app of this quality couldn't integrate it ....Serpy-chanVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Can’t paste passwordI love the game, and this is a really impressive implementation of a fantastic board game. However, I am unable to create an account due to not being able to paste a password into the create account form. In the modern age of password security this is a bad practice as it removes my ability to create a good and unique password (via a password manager). If this was fixed, my rating for this game would easily be 5 stars..CjcormackVersion: 1.5.1

✓ AI on easy is still impossibleAccomplished strategy PC player. AI on easy is still way too hard. Haven’t won a single game in three hours. Getting a refund. Very frustrating..PonzoredVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Change or heart review..I had to change my review because I can't play on my cell data anymore because my provider is using Ipv6 instead of the old Ipv4... So yea I'm stock on waiting for Wi-Fi to play my turns all the time and it really pisses me off because there seems to be nothing done to fix this issue from the development team..ScrewchoosingthisVersion: 1.7.6

✓ Love this game, but lately, it crashes non-stop!At first, I thought I had wasted money on this game but the reality was I simply didn’t get it. After giving it some time, I fell in love with it and have an amazing time with the challenges and learning new strategies. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks (maybe since last update and I didn’t play enough to notice), the game has been crashing excessively. I’m talking like 5 times in 20 min. It will freeze mid-turn, and I’ll need to shut it down and reopen game. I am on a fairly new iPhone 7+, with updated iOS, and I’ve already restarted phone multiple times since noticing the issue so I feel it’s definitely on the game’s end. If this issue is corrected, the game is 5 stars. It’s 100% worth the price point, it’s challenging on many levels and has tons of replay value. I just can’t get through a single game without a freeze or crash anymore, thus the 3 Star review..TheautodafeVersion: 1.7.6
