Where is everyone?

...Another nice have: Coop multiplayer campaigns. Combined with my first suggestion I could imagine a gameplay like this: A "tree of levels" (maps). Depending if the player win or lose the next map is chosen...

Wow, I like this (though I have YET to play another human online - life's been hectic for me lately).

As far as personalization of the characters, I, myself, view this game as more like a detailed game of chess, where the pieces are impersonal.  But, maybe Ross could add custom cosmetics, would this make your favorite mage seem personal?  I don't know if this would be enough, though.

Found the problem with the different platforms, read this post: https://heromages.com/forums/index.php?topic=434.0

It looks like a patch was made to the Android version and now the versions don't match - now that this has been discovered, I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Trasd, thanks for stepping up and answering this question: Yes, Hero Mages is cross-platform compatible. I made a mistake in temporarily "killing" this imcompatability with the last update on the "Gold" version. Fear not, I'll have a patch up in a day or two that fixes this problem as well as the other issues users have reported (most importantly the lock-out problem that happens when users join a game while host is editing options).

Character customization and coop campaign ideas sound great! I recommend you check out this thread for the "future road map" of where things are tentatively headed:

I am not sure if I brought this up previously, but I believe that most people who play multiplayer and against AIs are turned off by having to re-do the AIs every single time they set-up a new game. While the games does save the settings in terms of the room settings, the AI settings are not saved at all.

If I were to be playing a game with 7 AIs, I will have to continuously set up each one of them for every single game, which gets tedious if I were to be playing more than 3 games.

Just a thought.

Thats a really good point! So keep AI settings in memory between sessions? NP. Will add this to my list!

Hello guys. I'm new in this game and I just get it for my iPad. My question is can I create a new game from my iPad? Cause I try but I can't I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
The game is great!!!!!!

[Ross Przybylski]

Welcome DaKilla! Glad to have you with us. Yes, you can create multiplayer games from iPad. Once you login to multiplayer, press the button that looks like a chess piece with a plus symbol. See atttached image.

Thanks ross. I did have a problem with my first account. It was dakilla ( username). The thing was i try to create a game and i started with the name and bla bla and then when i try to change settings before start the game. It says that i wasnt allow and says that the creator was somebody else. So i logout and when i tried to login again an error message come up. Password incorrect. Id tried changin my password twice but no luck. So i create another account and now is all good. But i cant use my firts account anymore. Any suggestions?
It doesnt matter my first account but a would liketo erase that account if possible

I can delete your old account, reset your password, and even change the username on your new account. Let me know which you'd prefer.

[Ross Przybylski]

@daproject

I figured it out. Your old account name has a space character at the end of it, so it's actually "dakilla "

Try logging in with this and see if it works. I had another user report similar problem. I will add a fix that checks to ensure trailing spaces are not included in user registration name.

I think adding campaigns and lvls,would turn this game yet in another countless browser rpg and it would take away only thing that makes this game special.

[Ross Przybylski]

I agree with you Gorstak. The goal wouldn't be to change the existing strategic gameplay of Hero Mages, but expand in other ways that draw new players to D20Studios gaming!

[Gorstak]

yes but then all would play that rpg part and none would play original.

[Trasd]

I think that's the part Ross is talking about NOT changing.

Hero Mages is a simple to learn, hard to master, turned based, strategy game played on a board - in affect, it is a sophisticated chess game with more options.  I don't see any way of successfully integrating a RGP type system, but then again, I'm not near as good as figuring out this sort of thing as many people.  I couldn't imagine campaigns in Stratego!

The only way I could see this working is to have a series of teams you must beat in an "open the next level" type of system, like Angry Bird's level unlocking - and I hate this type of game!  I usually remove them if I see locks over stuff (except Majesty: Fantasy Kingdom Sim, this is my only exception).

Plus, I think there are many other things that need to be done before changing the game; it's like Smart Phones, you can do everything on them except use them as a phone!  They should have gotten the basics working before they stated adding bells and whistles - same concept with Hero Mages, I think.

OK, I'm done with the soapbox, who wants it next?

[Gorstak]

i know he will not intrgate an rpg part in current game,but he sad he will seperatly from this game.
