Global Triumph

- Win Rioja and get a shiny, new Apple iPad 2!

- User profiles now display trophies for GT worlds that the user has won.

Nice!  That's a cool feature!

Very much so! Very glad I am able to see older worlds I had a hand in victory.

I'm proud of all my medals, but I noticed IC has even more, seeing how we've shared a lot of those victories.  :p

But I do have to thank my alliances for letting me in, especially on Enio, where I was the odd neutral out.

Reports of my deaths have been greatly exaggerated. I like the medallions. I would like to see the name of the victorious country on ( or near) each picture as well as a special note for winning alliance leader and a real special picture if one conquers the map solo.

Winner of 6 of 8 maps tried. Don't hate me because I am beautiful and please don't throw darts at the target on my back.

awesome!

Hey Johnny, any chance of making GT droid-friendly?

I just got a new phone, Sidekick 4G powered by Android. I am able to access the gt website, forums, and such with no problems. I am able to enter worlds.
However, once inside a world, I cannot move the map. I would touch the screen and press down (as to activate moving) and nothing will happen. The map stays where it is. I don't know what the specific issue is that's preventing the GT game window to allow me to move around.
I can only click on World tab, tab lists, etc. I just cannot scroll around the map.

I know what's causing it, but it's a complete core modification to make it work. So, maybe something I'll try to get working for GT2.

If you have a good remote desktop app, you can play by remote.

I see. It's certainly something to consider; seems like droid apps (and 4G apps and all those fun stuff) are the new tech craze and I think making GT friendly for it would generate MASSIVE traffic - especially since it would be a free app!

Works on A T-Mobile G2 with the Dolphin broswer. Its slow, but I was able to build units and move them.

- The Sandbox world has been adjusted to allow accounts created within 60 days to join (instead of 30) and to expire countries after 90 days (instead of 60).

I've played on my Android G1 and on my sister's iPad.  I agree that not being able to scroll around the map easily was a bit of a drag, but the rest of the functionality was there and I didn't have any trouble making my moves for the night.  It just took about twice as long.  Being a developer, myself, I agree with Johnny that it would be a pretty fundamental change.  For the time being, what I did was to use the "center" functionality (which I rarely use on the computer due to the ability to scroll more easily).  It at least saved me from having to click "world" and then click back in on the map.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, or if this has been brought up before, but I would love to see either an artillery unit or a bombard ability for tanks added. (both would serve the same fu.ction, but I am not sure which would be easier to program.) Any thoughts on this?

I didn't think about the Center function! I'll try it on my phone, but it should work just like yours. That'll make the game playable ONLY on small maps, though.

No idea how but maybe some sort of a mini-world limited to mobile users to play on? I'm just throwing out stuff here.

Have this been done?

I did a few of them, but I think a few still need it. Completely slipped my mind!

I'll get to the rest once I have time.

Awesome game Johnny.  Could time-stamps be added to the chat?

I think a cool feature would be;

on the user profiles it would be nice to see what country the user played on each map that they have played.

I agree with jeepn.  It used to be there. It showed every country a player created on each map.  C-map had 3 or 4 countries for many people.  I would love to see a history of countries return to that field.

Next suggestion, time lapsed videos showing alliances over the life of the map, rather than just colored countries. Also at the end of the video, label the counties what won. (I know both are a great deal more work than the current videos.

- Modifying a unit will now prevent you from splitting that unit until after the next Daily Cycle (just like merging into the unit).

That would be cool.  I'm at the point where I've forgotten how many maps I've been on not to mention that it's nice to see where other folks have been in time's past.  Also fun to see naming schematics that some players may have.

yeah i think this would be awsome so you could see how good people did on other maps

Before my Zapala country gets overrun, I would like to use my donation to keep it alive.  But I can't find any info about it on the "Fund Your Country" link.

This was a donation, not in-game funding.

Thanks, Johnny.
