It would be helpful to get a list of complaints from our mobile users (I'm not one of them).

Attacking. Sometimes it zooms in when you attack. It would be nice if there was an ability to attack quicker on mobile.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

The main issue for me is repetitive actions, but that's probably true on the desktop version as well. Specifically, when destroying and rebuilding over and over (where having two tabs on a desktop is much easier) or selling private market goods every few turns in the early game.

Attacking. Have to zoom or unzoom the screen because it doesn’t all fit.

I get this issue as well but only when using the chrome browser on iPhone. Seems ok on safari for me

Attack speed in warchats. The difference between pc and mobile for attack speed is so huge that I always push members to attend warchat from pc. Maybe need the ability to hold down “attack again” so it spams attacks.

I would say attack speed would be the biggest thing, the other is using turns for readiness as Tyranny.

Any alliance in war that is predominantly mobile based is at a tremendous disadvantage compared to an alliance on PCs. It is a real issue.

I had a few issues with the ads not showing the X in the corners because (at the risk of sounding stupid) the ad is too big for my phone? I can't scroll to the or swish to get to it so have to reload the game and hope its gone or a diff ad. - but not had it for a while so not sure if worth posting..

Can anyone give me a screenshot of what the attack page looks like on mobile along with their setting for "Select Attack Style" in https://www.earthempires.com/preferences? We have a special attack page coded for speed but maybe it's not working for mobile users for some reason.

If you go into preferences and change it to default it might help speed the attacking up

For my own sanity. Are we referencing Mobile EE, Full EE on mobile, or Alpha UI on mobile? All have interesting behaviors on mobile devices.

This, it's a pain in the ass when the screen zooms while attacking.

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up
