  hello,  

it's a neat little game, runs well   , i want to thank you  and also announce here publicly that i am the GRAND CHAMPION of the leaderboard sviatoslav igorevich , the great prince of kiev, who ran roughshod over the demonic slave-raiding khazar empire so that for centuries the SLAVS dominated the steppe lands,  the great PAGAN prince of rus' sviatoslav, the inspiration for centuries of ukrainian (and even russian) nationalists

one problem - in the ukrainian localization (with the cyrillic names ) some of the names, i have noticed (and maybe more of them) are russian, instead of ukrainian

like Россия instead of Росія

Беларусь Білорусь

thank you so much!! Would you be willing to write out a complete list so I can fix them?  I am not a native Ukrainian speaker and I want to get them right!

I looked over the oblast names, and they are all correct, in fact maybe when you made the game you provided the localization for Russia and Belarus intentionally, in the languages of those countries, and not in Ukrainian 

p.s. I do not speak Ukrainian either

that sounds like something I would have done thinking I was being smart but now that you pointed it out I’m going to change them to the Ukrainian spellings, it makes more sense.  Thanks!

Hi, just playing the latest release.

  • The "NATO Leaders Visit Kyiv" card doesn't seem to change Kyiv to yellow from red/brown. It also doesn't say what happens if Kyiv is already blue.

Thanks!  I will take a look.

Also, when playing in hard mode, the player stops receiving AP after day 21, and the calendar track also stops advancing.

Ah, thanks.  That sounds more urgent.  I'll take a look.  Hard mode is still a bit of a WIP.

OK!  Both those bugs should be fixed now.

Will there be an option for English labels on the map, instead of Cyrillic?

That would make life a bit easier, thanks.  Good luck with the game, and glory to Ukraine!

Hold down the en/ua button to have them change to English temporarily.  I can implement an option to make them all English permanently but I wanted folks to get immersed in Ukrainian, hopefully you can learn a few letters!

Hi Adam:

I just played the Unity version.  

A) Really awesome game!  It is tough to make really complex game mechanics like this fit into a computer game, but you pulled it off.  The artwork is also great.  All the Cyrillic characters threw me at first, but then I really liked it.

B) When I hit the restart button on the game over screen, I cycle to the intro screen, but then I go right back to the game over screen.  I would love to play again, as I did not do very well on my first try :( 

Hi!  Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback!  You're quite right, the new game button was broken.  It'll be fixed in the next release, which should be coming soon, along with some new features!  If you have any other feedback let me know!

Hi!  There is a new version with lots of updates and bug fixes, including a fix to this bug!

Hi Adam,

Some quick feedback (I am playing on a 1440p Windows 10 machine at 100% screen scaling):

  • The final scoring table should use a more visible font for the non-highlighted scoring levels
  • I think the top score category was meant to be 375+. Right now it says 300+ (which overlaps with 300-374)
  • Defaulting to a frameless window instead of fullscreen would help with screenshots
  • The Morale track is not currently labeled
  • The VP Track label is actually touching the track itself
  • Sometimes the oblast names on the map are obscured by the Russian Event dialogue, making it harder to figure out the impact of the decision
  • Consider making the dialogues modal (preventing interaction with the background). Right now, background controls can still be interacted with while a dialogue is visible (even if it's not clear to me if they have any effect)
  • At the end of the game, there should be an option to start a new game instead of needing to exit first
  • As a solitaire scoring game, a local scoreboard might be helpful for players to see their prior performances
  • The rules should note whether or not unused AP roll over, and if so, how many
  • The Russians never seem to counter-attack Crimea. Arguably, if the player takes Crimea (fairly simple in early turns), then Russian actions should heavily bias a counterattack there (arguably, it should also increase Russian unrest and also decrease Western support due to being regarded as an escalatory move at this early point in the war)

Thanks again for the thoughtful excursion!

Wow, thank you for the awesome feedback!  So helpful! These are all great finds/suggestions, I will let you know when they make it into the game!

Hi, your Windows Zip appears to contain only Mac files

thanks for letting me know!  Something must have gone wrong when I uploaded, I’ll fix it tonight!
