Great Concept Looks like a great concept, can't wait to check it out. Love 'plagu'e and this game looks like it has a similar sort of feel/strategy concept.
"I'll echo the other thoughts that a 2D board would be easier, but it adds to the difficulty" <- We prototyped a 2D board view and game became boring (in my opinion). Maybe it's just the way it was developed and we need to improve it... At some stage (in two weeks maybe) we will prepare a Beta version with 2D board, so if you anyone is interested in testing it let me know. "Negatives would probably include misspellings during the tutorial and gameplay" <- I know there were couple of misspellings in the Beta version. Did you install the game via TestFlight or with promo code?
"Looks like a great concept, can't wait to check it out. Love 'plagu'e and this game looks like it has a similar sort of feel/strategy concept. " If you like Plague you will love Religion Simulator . The globe in Religion Simulator is much more advanced comparing to Plague's board. You build your "base" and use weapons to destroy your opponents. Also, there are many aspects you need to focus on like: population, wealth, natural goods... It all makes the game quite difficult to master.
