Very good

There’s barely any games like this it’s great.
The tutorial is just a bit rough but bar that it’s amazing!

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review. I am glad you are enjoying it. Sorry about the tutorial, I recently fixed it up, it used to be a lot worse! I am soon to release my next game 'Colonies at War'. Look out for it. Thanks JohnG

I want to play more!

One of the best games I’ve played, and honestly can’t stop playing it.
When will you be making more games or even maps like this?

Fantastic!

A great game, developer clearly put some work into this. It’s not easy but really enjoyable. Spent many days playing this and still can’t stop.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review. Yeah, it took me 2 years to complete this game actually. Hopefully with the foundations sorted I can get more games out soon. JohnG

Enjoyable but complicated UI

I really love the idea of this game, I love the huge number of playable Native American tribes. However as someone who has played War In Europe practically every day across 2 Apple ID’s since 2018 I’m finding the UI of this game hard to get my head around. I’ve had the tutorial crash a couple of times but it’s not always. I’ve been looking at your upcoming colonies at war game. I’m not sure how far into development you are but perhaps a UI similar to that if War In Europe would be nice, anyway I’m no expert on game design you do what you are happy with. Am looking forward to playing your games for future years to come, kind regards, Hayden

Hi, Thanks for your review. I am happy with the Ai on both games, My only concern with WIE AI is how it will work on a large complex map. FIW AI is very complex but can adapt to any map formation, so that is why I am going with FIW with army movement as apposed to regional movement. WIE is easy to play and move but it some people may question why armies can move from one side of the board to the next. FIW Ai looks very busy but I think it works quite well. Let me know if you have concerns about the FIW AI. Email me would be better. JohnG

Carlos

This game is honestly pretty weird I had fun mostly when it came to building but when it came to fighting it was terrible enemies will get thousands of men even know they have little cash and even if they have only a little bit of men they always come out on top I wants invaded One of their villages with 1000 men and five cannons they had 500 and they won also whenever I try to make peace with one of them they would always end up attacking me anyways and taking my territory even when I give them gifts they still attack me this game would be great if they fix that and made it so it’s fair.

Hi Carlos, Thanks for your review. Before you attack any location you should 'scout' the area and this will identify that there probably was more men than you anticipated, tribes will also be supported by maybe 1,000 recruits. Also if you study the 'Battle Report' after the fight it will tell you how many men fought in this battle. Please go through the tutorials before playing this game and start with 'Last of the Mohicans' as its the easiest game. John

Great game.

This is a brilliant game for a period in history rarely catered for. I saw from one of your comments that you may be bringing out an American Revolution version? If so when is this likely to be?

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review. The revolutionary war will be done but with so many people asking about the civil war I will probably do the civil war first. So hopefully by this time next year it or both will be completed. John

Great game

I love the game and the concept. There are a few things needed to make this game really the best. Now I could tell you all the details I would like to see, like more native tribes like the Mi'kmaq but I’m nterestwd in another idea. Have you heard of elder scrolls? Well take the map of Tamriel and their races and put Th is concept into it and you got probably the best phone app to ever be made.

Not perfect, but still amazing

I love this game. This is one of the few games that I have kept on playing for over a week after download. I love how flexible it is, and there are enough scenarios to keep you entertained for a while, although more wouldn’t hurt. ;) there are a few annoying bugs, like the game skipping your turn sometimes, but if you leave and return to the app before their second turn is over then that usually fixes it. But other than that, there aren’t many bugs to speak of, and it’s a very entertaining and strategic game, especially in the higher difficulties. Overall this game is one of my favorites, if not my favorite right now. I cannot recommend this game highly enough if you have any interest in American history and/or strategy games in general. Amazing game.

Hi, thanks for your great review. It's so nice to get great feedback, and it makes all that hard work worth while. The 'skip turn' bug has now been resolved. Thanks John.

Real Talk

Okay I read through the most critical reviews before downloading the game. When it finished I instantly bought the full version so I wouldn’t have ads. Honestly there is an insane amount of depth in this game. It takes strategy and patience unlike most other war games where you just rush in.

Make sure you do the tutorials when you start otherwise you will have no idea how alliances, trade, and even troops work.

Great game keep it up!!

Hi, Thanks for your great review. If you need more game advice check out my website at jgregorygames.com there you can read some of the 'common questions' and 'tips' that may be useful to you. I am thinking of making a video with a walkthrough of 'Discover the new world' and on getting your colony started. JohnG

Awesome game

This is such a great game! I have been playing it non-stop for the past week.

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your great review. and I am glad you like it. I played had to play this game for about 6 months until the AI was acting the way I wanted it to. So Its nice to see my work paying off. JohnG
