8 of 15I gave it five stars sometime back, but lately some of my units refuse to fight, can’t select archers to fire. I’ve noticed it across the other ‘ancient’ games. Very frustrating!!!
We don’t need another one of these games, THERE ARE BILLIONS OF THEM, AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN FUN, honestly, there are way to many of these games. I am not paying money for this garbage.
Awesome sauce
Recent bug "fixes" ruined this game! I have been playing this (and other hex war games) for a loooong time but Ancient Rome has been my air-travel go to. Love(d) it! However, the recent "fixes" have broken it. First of all the graphics are worse; the units seem to have been compressed and harder to see. The unit strength levels are also much more difficult to read. A 10 looks like a 1 and 3 looks like 8. Also, some adjacent units now cannot engage each other. In the "Defending Territory" battle the enemy doesn't even advance! I regret downloading the patch & wish I could have the old app back. Please do a re-set!
Smart ai, well balanced game. Guile is needed.
Very fun! Really has a feel of Roman war. The way units work really makes it feel like how the army's would have felt.
As the title suggests, the recent updates for all HexWar games are geared for newer iPads. If you have these games running properly on your older devices it is best to leave these updates alone. Unfortunately, no consideration was given to those of us who supported these games at initial release as we are left with unplayable games, or crashes during the update install. Thanks for nothing!
Good game - horrible update being applied across all Hexwar Ancients and Civil War titles. New speedy animations look ridiculous. Cannons move like they are on ATVs. weeeeee !!! Heavy troops like Hoplites now speed walk like a perky fitness trainer in yoga pants. Hexwar - please put one more level of speed down so that there is an option for heavy troops and equipment to move more realistically like they once did.
