Any thoughts to having a mobile site? I think it would be a big hit.

At the moment most phones can already log in easily, but I had to downgrade on my phone due to the mofo dying unexpectedly, and cant even log in on this one, the login is too good for it lol

iphone app?

Nuk is working on a mobile version of the forums :)

We'll be looking at a mobile version of the game once we have it working in FB flawlessly... ie, sometime down the road...

i tried on iphone last weekend

prolly the only time i will do that for the forseeable future

it was really clunky and time consuming to type in numbers all over the place before clicking submit

mobile version needs easy 1 click options:
click to explore 1 turn
click to explore 5 turns
click to cash 1 turn
click to cash 5 turn
select tech, then click to tech 1 turn (or 5 turns), have it keep type of tech (1 TPT worth automatically) and next page will have 'continue teching' with the same tech selected
on market, it needs a 'place max units of this type' which will fill in the amount for you, no typing, so click on turrets then sell (for a C/I) or click on tech, then a button for "sell max tech of each type" at bottom along with one on each type to select max of each type of tech individually
war success screen should have a 'send this attack again' button
private market should have a 'sell all bushels' button

etc...

make it easy for a phone user to click away at stuff, making gameplay faster and easier and more attractive

should work on mobile version of game before mobile of forums i would think

yea, the forums work great on mobile phone already. if i play the game on my mobile phone, I have to play in text-only mode because the left menu is fixed(non-scrollable) and happens to be longer than my screen.

switching to text-only mode just shows me the UL bullets and makes it scrollable.

i found it a lot of typing... and lots of zooming in and out to try to see what was going on and to try to click where to type

a lot of typing only sucks on an annoying touch screen phone =)

but i do see your point about one click options, as long as the type-able option stays

oh yeah, not saying get rid of the type-able options

yeah i guess since iphone is touch screen only, that made it more annoying...

screen only is lame =/

/me programming for the iphone at work ATM

ah fun!

*no envy*

:P

couldnt you just take the greasemonkey earth empires script then modify it so less typing is required?

wouldnt need to add a whole lot, just buttons on cashing and exploring would probably be enough

perhaps buttons for buying mil on private

perhaps more % type buttons on various pages but a differant ui method where you could use gestures to increase or decrease amounts could work better

is the android browser the same as the desktop chrome? if so it should auto run greasemonkey scripts

firefox seems to be only nokia 900/810 for now
maybe android would run linux versions or winmob would run x86

safari has greasekit but im not sure if that works on iphone
