Ratings and reviews

It's really fun except when it decides how "probability" should work. If you don't click off of the territory you're attacking when it feels like you should lose a battle, you'll simply lose your troops to an underwhelming force. I've lost 40 troops attacking a territory held by 2 and these extreme losses are common. The game frequently gives you disadvantage for whatever reason I've yet to understand

Play this at least once a day for the last 8 years. Great game, great job by the developers. My only complaint is that for about the last 6 months the vertical maps aren't working for me. I can place my troops but I cannot attack. The slide at the bottom of the screen only moves the map left or right. Other than that, this is a 5 star game.

I like this game quite a bit but also find it frustrating. The randomness of the die rolls being the primary issue. I just did an engagement of 16 vs 10. The attacking force lost 15 units and the defender 1. What are the odds of that? How can the game be successfully played when stuff like that happens regularly? Also, I can't play any of the vertical maps on my Galaxy s10e. Vertical maps are fixed. Thanks! Update: Author added 1:1 unit losses. Die roll issue fixed. Cool!
