Warlands 9+

No Opponents

It doesn’t seem anyone’s really playing this game to find an opponent, and the AI is not very hard. It’s lots of fun but not much challenge to anyone experienced with abstract strategy games. It’s frustrating that it has such solid gameplay but nobody is playing it. What game are people playing instead?

Potential fun but needs a lot of work

The game has potential to be fun but certain choices by the developer prevent me from enjoying it. I’m deleting the game.

1. Ads - I’m more than happy to pay a few dollars for a mobile game up front. The developer’s interest in incremental revenue through ads is a no-go for me though. They’re a distraction on the screen and I can’t even pay to remove them.

2. Maps - Again, happy to buy a game for a few dollars up front if I get a rich game experience. The included maps aren’t limited in number and poor in execution. I’d pay a small additional fee to get access to all the maps if the base game came with more and they were well designed.

3. Map design - The placement of the forests and castles on the maps are poorly thought out in terms of strategy. More thought should have been put into map design which would result in more challenging gameplay.

4. AI - I’ve only played on the default settings but as they are, the AI is neither challenging or interesting in its play style.

Réponse du développeur ,

Thank you for your feedback. Purchasing any map pack removes the ads. This allows you to try the game for free, and support development efforts if you like it.

We appreciate your thoughts on the map design and AI, and will keep your feedback in mind for future updates.

Kinda meh

Playing against the AI Is super easy or hard depending on placement rules, AI Difficulty doesn't matter, and sometimes I've just let the AI Stay alive in a corner to see who wins and it seems they're literally incapable of defeating another Enemy, AI Only match no AI Defeated ever, closest was an AI Attacking another ones last spot but just left it alone afterwards, it's just a constant cycle of AI taking land, being attacked and losing a ton of land, then immediately retaking most of said land.

TL:DR. Placement rules decide if the games Easy or Hard, an AI Incapable of fully eliminating another AI, and AI Difficulty doesn't matter
