• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

Please create an iPhone app for this game. There is not any games with similar formats @ the app store. You could make money by selling credits through the app store.

This has been discussed before, and was considered a good idea by pretty much everyone. Unfortunately our admin has come down with a fairly serious case of boneidleitis, so we're on our own.

Someone who can do this should totally create their own game with the same concepts for the iPhone. We know it will never happen for Bushtarion. It doesnt need to be bushtarion. Call it Plantarion or Farm Wars or whatever. Include all the tech trees and stuff (maybe names have to be changed), turn based, 3 tick battle reports, and the whole planting and harvesting concept as the source of income.

I reckon whoever does this stands to make money

What about at least having Bushtarion set up to view in mobile formatting for easy use on Smartphones/Tablet devices?

Everyone has said this a million times.

It wouldn't even take any real work to code aniPhone app/android app. And it would get the game some great exposure. But yeah, our admin is rather like god at the moment, he's missing and nobody can prove his existence, so don't expect anything (other than the player base to continue to dwindle)

Someone actually created a prototype phone-friendly layout (obviously not actually connected to the server) and everyone who saw it said it was awesome. Nothing happened.
