Pike & Shot with Samurai battles from the PC game for ipad

Post by smjohnso77 »

Could you please download a group of historical Samurai battles for Pike & Shot since those of us (there are hundreds or thousands) that have Apple products can play the battles from the new Samurai game you only released only to PC. Get a group of battles together and sell them like you did tercios. You will make some more money By doing that definitely. That way the Apple fans are not left out who wish they could play your Samurai game but cannot and you do not have to release a whole new game for iPad like you said you did not want to do. Please make those available on Pike & Shot! Also, please continue to offer battles from the War of Spanish Succesion, and maybe the Austrian Succesion, French and Indian War and Seven Years War like you did with Plassy and Blenheim. I am a great fan. Love Pike & Shot. Please get us those Samurai battles from the PC game on Pike & Shot and make some money for the add on....win, win.... Thank you. Sincerely, Steven Johnson

The reason that Sengoku jidai only came out on PC is because Apple unilaterally decided to stop accepting submissions for 32-bit programs (including updates). The Pike and Shot/Sengoku Jidai engine is a 32-bit program.

This means that we cannot add any DLCs for the iPad version of Pike and Shot. It also means we were unable to bring out Pike and Shot Campaigns or Sengoku Jidai for iPad - certainly we wanted to!

If you have a beef about this, you need to take it up with Apple. Perhaps you can change their minds.

In the meantime we continue to upload user scenarios to Slitherine's own FTP for iPad in-game download as they become available. We cannot upload Sengoku Jidai scenarios in this way because they use features of the engine that were not present in the version on the iPad. (Which for the reason stated above we cannot update).

I should also mention that it is not considered good form to spam multiple threads (at least 5 by my count) with the same post.
That makes 6.

Ok, just wanted a reply. I thought that you could just download some historical samurai battles to Pike & Shot. What new downloads for P&K are coming next that people are working on?

What about making this Samurai game available on MAC computers? Some of your stuff is available on MAC, but most is not.

That is a decision for Slitherine. Byzantine Games just supplies the PC version and Slitherine do any conversions for other platforms that they may deem economically viable.

However, several people have got the PC version of the game running on the MAC.
