Does anyone hate this map as much as I do,  The attached is 2nd turn, my opponent has not even gotten a chance to roll yet.

77808 is a nice example.  After the last move they just hang and wont end the turn. This game will stay in queue for a week or so and victory will never be assigned.

Is there any way to get development going again on this game? Given the length of time since any update would there be an advantage to opening the code to the community?
I love the game and will continue playing for a while but I think we are overdue for some fixes and new expansion packs.

Fixes:
Sprint cheat
hanging games

Expansion pack:
Healers
Mage: Priest - HP5 - heal spells-1, HP10 - dispell magic ability (cost 1 card), minor heal ability.
Kensai - 4 attack die, if miss automatically attack for 4 more. 6 health 12 armor, no attack penalty on sprint.
Druid - 2 attack die, can cast entangle on single unit, may summon a 1/1 bear for 2 cards, max of 1, 6 life 12 armor.
Familiar - (something new) adds one mana per turn to HM, 1 attack die, 10 armor, 4 life. May teleport for 2 cards.



Or have a community contest to come up with a new pack, get interest back up.

How can we make this kind of development happen?

ya I was uncertain we would pull it off, since then I have gotten a blizzard in my spell list almost every game, I think the card gods have been favoring me.

Ok that 2v2 live made up for the rutt.  Thanks for bolstering my confidence Unfortunately the game does not show up in my list, thanks worldchamp and q666 and some other random guy

We all have bad rutts in the game.  I am certain I am in the middle of the worst one ever. I am usually 50/50 on win/loss. As of the last 2 weeks I have played over 20 games and have won...3. Several games I was unable to do leave even a point of damage on the opponent.
Maybe someone out there is having insane luck to balance out my games...

I think I have played 1 realtime game with a random opponent, other than that my only RT games have been with people in the room with me.  I guess I missed out on that era. I do wish the game had the ability to leave a message at the end of your turn so you can taunt, complain about an inconvenient die roll, or congratulate someone on their victory.
Sometimes I am playing a game and pull off something great or I want to share the moment and really have no way other than shouting hurray and trying to explain my victory to my wife...she pretends to care for my benefit

Ahhh yes q666, the mage who owned me once and hasn't been back   j/k
I would like to see more postmortem chats after games.  We have had some great games and while I see some of the guys in life constantly the rest of the regulars in game would be fun to rehash games with...eg why take that risk or why did you run your barbarian over there. 
Feature request, the ability to leave in game messages to teamates or everyone.

Do people still lurk in these forums?  I know we have had some pretty epic battles in the game but no one has been posting on them.  How am I supposed to blame my losses on bad dice if people don't gloat?

Indeed, I have seen new players trickling in here and there but with development dead on the game it seems that the owners have lost interest other than maintaining the status quo. I wish I could help this game along but nothing can be done if the creators are not involved.

The barbarian scoffs at the sorceress's modesty and the "warrior's" metal.

Ya I am looking for a larger sample group right now.  I am familliar with variance, or "string of luck"  We always joke amongst my friends who play that when we have a particularly bad set of rolls (just yesterday a friend of mine and I threw 22 dice at a summoner trying to get the last 2 damage done), that we are due to have a good string soon. 

What I plan on doing is parsing the games with R and using that to check for fairness.  My sample set is indeed small right now, but what it has seemed like is that the 2 individuals that I was having inordinately bad luck with have stopped playing random encounters.  But what tipped me off was they consistently used the sprint exploit, which got me to thinking they were also  using another exploit.

If you want a PUG, there seem to be a few people in this forum and my buddies who have had some awesome games going lately.  It has been refreshing to pick up people who are consistent with their turns and play for the joy of it.

nyone even thiunking of doing thinks like that is a ppor guy. It´s a simple boardgame with no big community, not a ladder which is any worth mentioning or any rewarding tournaments like in LoL i.e.! So why should anyone cheat ? Stats mean nothing in this game, it´s just pure fun!

I agree!

I agree a bit. I love this game and have been playing consistently against some buddies for a while.  I have only recently started doing random encounters.  I am very surprised that this game has not caught on in the D&D crowd better.  Every person I introduce to it gets hooked.  I think apps just get buried in the load of crap games out there...how do you publicize the truly great ones when so many crappy games show up in your facebook feed and as banners on sites?

That is pretty sweet. That ability of the FM is way under used.  I won a battle against the computers after my buddies got wiped out by using that same tech but I didnt have a bard to back me up.
