  1. Work is progressing well on a new rankings / forums / tournament system, this will be the biggest and best update to Tropic Euro yet
  2. @ExplodingRobot if you have played the board game then 30-60 mins, longer if not (I'm working on a guided play-through/tutorial)
  3. @kahoogahboogah TE takes a different approach - specifically designed to be played digitally, instead of trying to imitate the board game
  4. @ExplodingRobot how did you find it?
  5. @cslettuce my online version is for Windows / Mac OS X / Linux, I'm not sure it can be done on mobile phone resolution, not playable anyway
  6. Connection bandwidth and speed improvements: The amount of data used to communicate with the Tropic Euro server has… goo.gl/fb/U03jC
  7. @NstarGames who knows, maybe a distant relative? :)
  8. @AndPlusLLC that would probably make the game unplayable though, buildings and plants for all users need to be always visible I think...
  9. @AndPlusLLC not sure what you mean by "menu" as Tropic Euro doesn't really have one, have you played the game yet?
  10. @NottsACS not played that yet, any good?
  11. @AndPlusLLC the main issue being how to fit the interface into mobile phone resolution, any ideas?
  12. @PaolaElefante what did you think of it?
  13. @bzubert WebWorks probably not an option as TE needs Java SE, but some of the current TE users play on their iPad using VNC / remote desktop
  14. @bzubert not at present, I'm not sure if it's possible to do a fully useable interface to PR on mobile phone resolution, suggestions welcome
  15. @ChitsGiggles excellent, btw what do you think it needs to get more human-human games going? I'm working on a leaderboard / stats feature
  16. @ChitsGiggles many thanks for the recommendation
  17. Touchscreen mode added: An option has been added to the Log In window, which if selected uses an in-game layout… goo.gl/fb/tAy9N
  18. @DeAnnaClawson you tried my online version of Puerto Rico?
  19. Mouseover effects for legal moves and lobby games: A visual effect is now displayed when the mouse is placed over a… goo.gl/fb/XAXT8
