Hey there, this is really nice! The interface to your game looks much nicer and cleaner than Civ 5 IMO! Amazing nobody's drooling here or on your reddit thread or anywhere. Maybe 100Mb is too much? Def puts me off tbh, maybe a Unity issue, but otherwise sell this for half $$$ of civ 5, same rules, I'd buy yours instead no doubt

Hi,
I like your game and write here with odds to get feedback to your attention
First of all I want to thank you for really nice work here. And now my catches :

1) most annoying is that when you select unit via "green circle" button from "to do queue" , it does not behave as selected, in means with scrolling around map and zooming. Zooming is not working then and you need to reselect the unit to be able to change the zoom. Also when you try to move the screen, it will jump somewhere else and is kinda broken. One has to deselect and reselect the unit to be able to work with screen
2) edges of map behave kinda bad with zooming and so, also one cannot see whole city radius, if that one is too close to border of map. Might be good if you can make some fake tiles around the border, at least two lines, that would look same as now, but will be zoomable and movable to (with screen focus).
3) one cannot move into other's borders without war, but AI just made the city on tiles that were inside of my borders. It is on coast so maybe landed from water, but still, I see founding cities in other's cultural borders as really not good thing. Also one tile that got disconnected by that turned to wilderness, even though it is adjacent to the new city.

4) AI is kinda peaceful, and it is really annoying that they see "friendship" as valuable, they offer it for every my discovery, also offer it even multiple times in row, even if I accept it. Really low number of tech for tech trades. Also AI has kinda problem to get rid of few barbarians even after 200 turns.
5) barbarians do not evolve over time. I have gunpowder and they still spawn only basic units. Also no new barbarian camps over time
5) tile improvements - you cannot see if and which improvement the tile has, unless you look at graphics. Sometimes it is not really distinguishable. Also you can see what bonus you can get by harvesting the resource, but it is same even after upgrade of tile. Might be good if you show actual revenues from tile in tile info. And what upgrade there is.
Also when you upgrade road to railroad, it shows you possibility to build there road back, I think that is probably not needed, as it is downgrade .
6) city culture grow - it is really straightforward what tile the city will claim - the one with highest yields on basic tile. But it can mean that city walks 5 tiles away and captures tiles that are already nearer to the another city. It kinda ignores special resources on deserts. Rather it will claim plains than sheep on desert. Etc. Maybe it could be more encouraged to first claim tiles that are more near to the city.

One minor - there is a list of cities and what they do on top - might be nice if you put there also number of turns till finishing.


Then I think you can work more on infos for techs and buildings. Harbor, caravansary..they have no info ingame, you probably should add that they are good for trading. Also, I see that you can upgrade units only in cities with the resource, did you thought about some less heavy resource sharing than caravans from each city to each city? I mean, in real civs you could share the resources as long as you connected them to one net of routes. Might be good to implement something similar.

Map editor is really nice, but it lacks map size selection, for me those maps are really big, even small map has really abundant space to play. I can imagine one more smaller size to choose after all.
And one more thing to consider - what about possibility to have land on map border? Now there is one tile of water, it looks kinda ugly. It would be okay if map ends by land. Maybe can be combined with aforementioned fake border - you can generate still islands and then hide it by shrinking border like two tiles and it will look probably better

"Your unit got promoted" - is that only via capturing the camp? Did not found any info if units have any experience accumulated or similar

And now, some pictures from game, so you see what I sometimes mentioned earlier.

The city on right got claimed the tile the white city is on and aluminium one.

Playing as Japanese, shouldn't my fish-boats give me one culture? Dunno if they do in real(one cannot see list of culture or money gains), but would be nice if tile gains show that

Some examples of ignored richness just after borders, because it is desert :

And some examples of how cities do claim tiles:

Looking forward for more updates and thank you!

I just started to play this, killed all civs, but still no victory. Cant find any victory conditions.
Also when in first screen with new/continue, back button doesnt exit the game...have to press home and kill the app.
Playing on Xperia Z2.

Thanks for your comments.

I'll think about all your suggestions and I'm already doing some fixes.

Best Regards

Oh, good to reach you.
I seen that you already implemented few of those things, good

I played more till now, so I have some more things for you.
This time I was kinda militant, so it will be more focused on fights.
1) cities should deal damage to attackers , except ranged. Now you just spam city and it is really defenceless. Especially in starting ages, when city cannot build defenders fast enough.
2) would be good to let units from ancient ages to deprecate, aka let them disappear from lists of produce. It is kinda annoying to scroll through all of those ancient units to get riflemen etc.
3) AI attacks kinda suicidally. But really, they go attack even same powerful units, but ignore they have like last hitpoint. Might be good to withdraw them to let them heal, if possible. AI would be more intelligent by that.
4) AI don't send old units home to upgrade them or so. Also sometimes some units just sit on one spot without move for a lot of turns. Even when the tile gets captured by a city, the unit stays here even though no open borders or war declared.
5) declaration of war from AI is silent, would be good, if you add popup for that. Sometimes they declare war without warning not attack and if you don't look at detailed map or diplomatic list, you even don't know that.
6) I attacked barbarian camp with boat - this is result:

Also when you oneshot barbarian camp, a lot times you get no loot.
7) gold for gold trades, maybe AI should subtract it and offer only final differences

8) if you upgrade unit, it loses movement for that turn, but will get stuck in "to do list" (green circle), also dunno if it is okay to upgrade more times than once in one turn.

I tried to use new difficulty settings, well, did that mean that they just got cheated one settler and 4 units at start(at hardest)? Does not seem to me to be really right, lol...turn 4..., I found one more city to west, later...

...but still all the units suicided to my town defender (I killed settler then they raged a little xD ), then I had problem with his triremes that can two-shot warriors. But captured the city later..

And maybe more

...and if you would like to get Czech translation, I can help you with that.
