Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
Interestingly,...this morning I played a multi-player turn and it must have co-incided with this update since when I tried to upload my turn,...the connection just timed out over and over.
I dumped out of the game,...loaded BA again, and this time, I got the "You need to apply the latest update,..you're on 2.0.5".
Was a little confused as to why I was having such problems uploading my turn,..now it makes sense.

Cannot access multiplayer game on iPad, as it says I must update first... yet there is no update in the iTunes store.
Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
Now it's available on iTunes.
iPad version download time on iTunes 11 minutes
Mac version download time from Matrix ftp: 1h 25 m.

Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
The iTunes stores unfortunately update at a rate and time known only to them - it might take a few hours for the versions to go live across all territories.
I imagine there are a lot of people trying to grab the update from the Matrix FTP currently. Sorry for the delay. The iPad download is half the size, and one would image Apple have more server bandwidth than we do .
Cheers

Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
As reference for others,..took 25 minutes to download the PC version update via Filezilla and the FTP.
But I suppose your bandwidth experience may vary.

Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
I'm in Sydney and updated via App Store an hour ago using hotspot from phone to the iPad. Took 5 minutes and had no problems at all.
Seems like a quick and easy upgrade guys.
Not always the case with software upgrades, so well done, Slitherine! (you win the House Cup this year).

Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
thanks Pip........i see now. the advanced combat tool tips......are those the tips that flash across the start up screen? if so how do you get them to slow down or stay up on the I pad so you can actually read them?? or is there another way to read them from the I pad?

Re: Battle Academy v2.0.6 Patch details
The advanced combat tooltips are the tooltips you see when you mouse over or select a fire order. You should notice the enormouse tooltip box when you next go into a battle

Pip - loving how the Editor -> Save feature defaults to the scenario name that is open. MUCH thanks for that!

The better AI is making one-player mode significantly more challenging. Yes!
