SW iOS Bugs/problems

Bit of an obscure one, this, but also quite serious. If you fly an angel over Skhull, you have to take a fear check for both moves, including when you move into his space. I dunno whether you should have to roll fear for flying over the space Skhull is in or not, but that's not the problem, the problem is that if you fail the fear roll for flying over Skhull, then Skhull gets discarded too. You can imagine my reaction when that happened to me online :P Just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I've just reproduced this offline playing against myself.

Now, this led me to wonder, what happens if Skhull stands next to a wall, and the angel fails its fear roll when flying over the wall? Does the wall get discarded? Well, yes, it does. Oh dear!

In fact, it looks like any card under an angel can get discarded if an angel fails a fear roll when flying over it. Can you see where I'm going with this? Yep, it also works on summoners, I tried. You can use this method to discard a summoner, the game continues as normal, with the side without a summoner unable to lose. (In my offline games, I have a game where both sides have no summoner )

Ok, not all that easy to abuse, but it can happen, I lost my Skhull in an online game by this glitch.

On the bright side, I was quite entertained by my experiments.

Incidentally, I strongly suspect this works with climbers and walls, but I'm all experimented out for today if someone else wants to give that a go.

I may have misread the card on my iphone but was wondering how was chant of deception implemented. I thought I used it but it just disappeared. I wasn't able to swap my 2 units (which unfortunately = Dead Abua).

Place chant of deception on one of the units you wish to switch with then grab that unit and drag it to the unit you would like to switch with.

Sadly this game is unplayable on my iPod Touch. Nine times out of ten it just crashes at the developers splash screen. On that one-in-ten occasion where the app actually loads it'll crash before I can start a game. I've done the usual stuff: close all other open apps, re-boot the device, delete and re-download, updated after the appstore problem, deleted and re-downloaded again, all to no avail.

Ipod Touch 4th gen, iOS 5.1.1, 64gb

I'd like to give some money to Plaid Hat Games as I love Summoner Wars but it's sadly impossible at the moment.

Try deleting the app and download again from the AppStore. There were problem with corrupted game binaries coming from Apple over the past couple of days.

Wow, nice catch! Are you applying for a play testing position on the next set of factions?

From you description, I know exactly what the problem is. We've got an update coming ASAP, and a fix for this will be included.

As I say in my post, I've already tried that. I've tried it again and this time, on the 4th attempt to start a game (1st:start up crash, 2nd:start up crash, 3rd:Crash at menu) I finally managed to start a game. Which then crashed whilst going through the rule book.

It took me a while to get how the berserkers work, usually if you want to use a units special ability, you have to drag or tap the right hand side of the card (it glows), whereas, if you drag the left side, you'll opt to use their normal move, attack or whatever.
With the berserker, just tap the right hand side of the card, no dragging, and it should activate, I haven't tried climbers yet, but I'll wager it's the same thing, try picking up and dragging the right hand side of the card when you move it.

Edit: Also when using berserkers, remember that walls are not "units"

To expand upon what RoloCookie said, if you tap the right side of a card, it glows (green) when you drag to your target. With a "normal", or left side attack of the card, it glows (red) when you drag to the target. Don't know if that helps anymore, but I know it's helped me a few times when I'm trying to tell if I've tapped the card in the right place to use a Special Ability (think Fire Drake here). ;-)

What type of device are you using?

Which AppStore region are you downloading from?

[Shockma Ranyk]

Did you have a card in your magic pile? Did you have an open space to summon to? Thanks.

I'm fairly certain I had both of those, but I replicated it offline and it worked just fine. I must have been imagining that I had at least one of those, sorry.

My issue is that I am using an Ipod Touch 4th Gen and after purchasing the bundle I still dont have the option for online play...

Editing this post.

Checked and realized I was not logged into Gamecenter. Leaving the original problem here incase it might help someone else.

Also to Górecki. I had the same problem on my Ipod Touch as you did. What finally fixed it for me was restarting the ipod touch completely. If you havent already tried that, you might want to.
