Legion Gold and Battle Academy 2 Android Beta call

Post by Daniele »

Two great games are reaching a new milestone!

Legion Gold and Battle Academy 2 are ready to enter the Beta phase for Android platforms! We are looking for Beta Testers helping us in this new challenge!

As always you can apply for the Betas by clicking here

Legion Gold: Legion for Android is set in Ancient Rome, where the player must make strategic choices to control their armies and carve an empire from the assortment of tribes and city states that populate Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Britain.

Battle Academy 2: Sequel to its genre-busting predecessor, Battle Academy 2 moves the action east – to the bloodied plains of Mother Russia. When a gritty new look, great new features, and random mission generation meet battle-proven gameplay you can be sure of a strategy classic!

We need lots of Android testers for this guys. Android players are always complaining they don't get enough games so its time to show us your support! We need Android testers now! If you know anyone that might be interested get them to sign up.

This is really our final Android push so if this doesn't work we'll give up on Android for the forever!

Well if we don't get any players it confirms our belief there is no market for Android games and the next time an Android player moans about lack of support they'll get a punch :)

well while a punch sounds a bit harsh, maybe a redirect to here maybe enough to quieten them down somewhat :roll: :wink:

I would LOVE to see an Android version of BA2, but I am pretty sure that it would pale in comparison to the PC version......most games do. From what I have seen, Android games seem to crash a lot more.....and the companies that make games for both IOS and Android usually do so much more with the iOS versions.

Android just seems to be a platform for 'casual games'.

That being said, I have put my name in to be a beta tester for BA2, and I hope to see it released and well supported.

Was looking to beta test the Android version of BA2, but then I saw that multiplayer is not supported.

Are there plans for it to be included when the Android version is completed?

The MP system in BA2 has elements which are binary, and unfortunately not all Android devices have the same endian CPUs. Unfortunately making the MP system endian-neutral is a major task. That said, if demand (e.g. sales!) is good then we may look at adding MP functionality later.

Cheers
