BC4000 - Civilization Model (iOS/iPadOS, Free)

+ +
+

The BC4000 App is a turn-based strategy game. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+ +

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+ +

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+ +

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+ +

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+
+ +

My Thoughts on the Current State of macOS as a Blind User

+ +

By Tyler | May 30, 2022

+ +
+

Since 2005, I have used a variety of Macs, and have regularly used every version of macOS from Tiger to Monterey since then. Over that time, I’ve witnessed the various changes to VoiceOver, both major and minor, as well as how VoiceOver on macOS helped usher in a whole new world of mobile accessibility on iOS and iPadOS.

+ +

Today, with the Mac’s transition to Apple Silicon and the performance potential that it’s helped to unleash, it can be argued that the Mac is experiencing something of a renaissance. Indeed, as an AppleVis member, I’ve noticed an uptick in posts related to macOS, including from those who are potentially interested in buying their first Mac, those enquiring about how to complete various tasks on macOS, those experiencing issues, and others. No, I don’t have a hard number to back that up, just my observation.

+ +

As more blind and low vision people consider whether or not a Mac is right for them, the common discourse may lead them to one of two conclusions, either that macOS is great and people who discuss bugs they’ve experienced or Apple’s failure to address them are “Whining” and “being negative,” or that Apple doesn’t care at all about VoiceOver on macOS, and thus the accessibility of the platform is hopelessly destined to decay. As a totally blind long-time Mac user, I hope to provide a more nuanced perspective to this debate. In saying this, it should be noted that the things mentioned in this post are my opinions based on my use case, as well as my observations of other users’ reported experiences. Personally, I don’t unquestioningly love or hate any platform, and think all have their strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate places.

Apple Previews New Accessibility Features Coming Later This Year, Including Door Detection and More Languages, Locales, and Voices for VoiceOver

+ +

By AppleVis | May 17, 2022

+ +
+

Ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on Thursday 19 May, Apple has previewed new accessibility features that will be coming to its platforms later this year.

+ +

Of particular note for blind and low vision users is Door Detection on supported iPhones and iPads, which will enable you to navigate the last few feet to your destination. Apple will also be expanding support for VoiceOver with over 20 new languages and locales.

+ +

Apple says that Door Detection “can help users locate a door upon arriving at a new destination, understand how far they are from it, and describe door attributes — including if it is open or closed, and when it’s closed, whether it can be opened by pushing, turning a knob, or pulling a handle.”

+ +

Door Detection will also be able to read signs and symbols around the door. Apple gives the room number at an office, or the presence of an accessible entrance symbol as examples. Additionally, it should be able to identify and speak such things as a store name, opening hours, fire exit symbols, and the material construction and colour of the door. Users will have the option to disable the announcements of some of these types of information to suit their circumstances and use case.

+

We are pleased to announce that our Community has chosen Blind Drive and Dolphin EasyReader to be this year's inductees into the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame.

These apps place powerful tools and inclusive experiences into the palms of our hands, and give access to services, information, media or entertainment that the sighted world typically takes for granted.

+ +

In short, ourHall of Fame represents the best of the best in accessible iOS applications, as decided by the AppleVis community.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

The strategy logic and user interactive concept are inspired by the original Sid Meier's Civilization. Most graphics, music, map and text materials come from public domain licensed by Creative Commons License or General Public License.

At least not in civilisation mode or under siv2 siv3/classic. When you have mapped the entire world, only cities of interests will be shown, regardless of distance. Not sure of augmented though.

I am 100% sure that sometimes units do appear on the list when revealed on the map. However I am equally sure that some other times they don’t. Trying to figure out the conditions.
+I think that when a unit specifically reveals another unit on the map it does appear. When a unit was already visible and outside the radius of a city it doesn’t. I’m not sure though.

You are right about units picking up other units. The units of interest menu is no longer subject to cities alone. If one of your units can see another enemy unit, The units of interest menu will appear. It will remain there for as long as The enemy unit remain in your unit's sight.

In the latest beta version, we will now be allowed to view all infrastructure without having to visit the mini map in the cities menu. From within a city's menu, there will also be a previous and next button that will allow you to jump between cities, along with a button that will allow your governor to automatically assign citizens according to your preferences. Furthermore, you can watch an advertisement in order to become a super player for one turn by selecting the world menu and view mode. When doing this, all units and cities will instantly become available on the map for one turn. Note however, that only the five closest units will be shown in the units of interest menu. The rest will have to be found by locating them on the map. As far as battlefield goes, I have yet to check things out.

Once the super player view mode has been activated, double tapping on any enemy city will be equivalent to sending a spy into it. You will be able to view the cities production, improvements, population as well as its Minimap. In short, it will be similar to viewing your own cities. It's like spying on a city without using an actual spy. Furthermore, you can go into the world menu and under diplomacy, you can choose to get an intelligence report, even if you haven't made contact with the nation. The only thing that separates this mode from the actual spy, is the fact that the spy can-do sabotage. The super player mode is for viewing only.

Now this is not exactly a big deal, but it can often be a little confusing at times. Sometimes when I open the app, it will be in landscape mode with the charge port to the right for the most part. However, I've realised that sometimes when I open the app, the charge port will be to the left. Does anyone experience the same thing?

There is no such issue for me. However after some update the charge port can be on the left of the screen, which was not the case in the past. Maybe the game detects how your device is tilted before you open the game, and the landscape mode is orientated accordingly.

OK. So… I have built my first city but when trying to build something else such as an aqueduct, it does not show me where it is being built.
+The other thing is that when I sent settlers to another tile to work on her road or mine, it shows that they are building it but, if I decide to send them somewhere else, the tile where they were before does not show anything. Where is my road? Where is my mine?
+Will it be built in turns?
+If that is the case, perhaps I should let the settlers there until whatever project is finished. Right?
+Please help. I think I'm missing something here. I have had to start over many times because my settlers go missing and explorers get killed. What's going on?
+This game sounds extremely fun and I don't want to quit just because I don't understand it.
+This sounds fun and I wanna have fun.
+Thank you in advance for your help.

Things will be built over the cause of a few turns. You will be notified between turns when it is completed. When you build one city, the responsible settler for building the city is automatically lost. When a worker or settler is building roads, mines or irrigation, they will fall silent for as long as they are working on it. When they are done, they will become available for new orders, which is an indicator that they are done. By this point, the newly built infrastructure should show. Explorers die when they accidentally enter a hut with barbarians, or get killed by an enemy. Note that you can turn barbarians off at the start menu. I hope this was helpful.

There is a city button. Double tap on it to view your cities. Double tap on the city you want to manage. All the info such as improvements can be viewed there. Double tap the change button to see the available improvement options and to select one to build.

Note that not all types of terrane can get mines. I believe only mountains, glaciers, deserts and hills can get actual mines. You can still mine on other terrane types, but it will merely change the terrane type. Mining a grassland will change it into a forrest and vice versa. Irrigating can also change certain terrane types. A forrest will become a plane if you irrigate it. The ultimate goal is to strike some balance between food, shield and trade for max production.

Thank you for the help, DMNagel.
+So, once I send a settler to a certain tile I should not move him away from it until he finishes building the road or mine, right?
+And, in that case, can I get new settlers to go to other tiles?

When someone is working, mining or irrigating a tile, leave them there until they start asking for new orders again, otherwise they won't be able to complete whatever they are doing. As for getting new settlers, you can most definitely get them by building them just like you would any other city improvement. The only catch is that they cost two population, so you will need at least a population of three in order to build a settler.

When you finish building a building, the building doesn’t appear on the map. There is a button labeled improvements when you open the city interface, in order for you to know what buildings are currently built in the city.
+Regarding tile improvements like irrigation, mines, roads etc., it’s better to use workers to build them because settlers are very very slow at it. Like DM said, once a unit is done improving the tile, it will be available again to order around. Also any improvement will be spoken by VO when tapping on the tile, both on the city mini map and the general map. You can also double tap on a tile of the map in order to view the improvements.
+The best thing to do in order to learn the game in the beginning, is to create a game without enemies and without barbarians so you aren’t harassed by the computer and thus learn in peace.
+The encyclopedia also has lots of useful information.

Note that you can also put settlers and workers on auto work by double tapping on the more button among the orders, should you wish to do so. This will make them automatically move around your city and build whatever is necessary, allowing you to focus on other things such as city improvements or units. Glad to see that you are starting to get the hang of it. Soon you will be building your very own world, but we will get to that as soon as you are ready.

That means that you are playing the augmented ruleset which you shouldn’t do at the moment under any circumstances. It’s much more complicated than the normal ruleset and it will give you a very hard time.

When you go into a city's interface and accidentally double tap on a tile in the mini map, you will stop the citizen from working there. To fix this, you must either double tap on that tile again, or use the max food button to automatically arrange citizens for max food production.

Would you say that it would be better to disband some explorers or should I turn them into something else. Maybe they can be turned into settlers. Can they? I think I got too carried away but my city started creating warriors from the beginning. I didn't notice that until it was too late. Now I have two cities and the other one apparently has an archer.

It's okay to have as many explorers as you want. However, archers and warriors, along with other military units is better left at home, which is to say in their respective cities. Having too many military units exploring the fields will cause citizen unhappiness which can later turn into city disorder. In theory, The more explorers you have, the faster you will unlock the entire map, not to mention finding hidden huts with scrolls, treasure, units or friendly cities. However, given the citizen unrest, it becomes a trade off. Some units can be upgraded later in the game, as long as they are standing within their own cities. I hope this was helpful and you're welcome.

You can either disband some of your units, or send them into cities and have them stand sentry. If you let a unit stand sentry, it will stop bothering you with orders every turn and wait for you to activate it from the nation control menu when you feel like using it again. However, in the event that someone is trespassing close to your sleeping unit, it will wake up again, indicating trouble.

The developer just added online support via game Center. Now you can play online against other players.

Does anyone else think it would be cool to have more sci-fi and fantasy nations? I'm not saying that there aren't enough nations to play with; there are plenty, it's just that well I was looking through the list and the Trekkie in me thought hey it would be kind of cool to play as a Klingon or a Vulcan. :)

We'll be getting a new ruleset (alien). I'm currently beta testing it right now. Also, I'm not sure how I missed this, but multiplayer is also a ruleset. So it seems like I have some catching up to do, although I'm excited to see the new alien stuff. Happy gaming.

I'm not playing that game, as it seems to be a little incompatible with my bird brain lol. However, I believe the game will be updated sooner or later. BC4000 is probably his most popular game, hence all the updates. To think I almost didn't get this game either, but the world building feature helped me an awful lot.

When I see alien in reference to a Civ-style game my mind jumps to a 1999 game called Alpha Centauri, which was basically a sequel to Civ and had a ton of neat features. Surely this isn't anything like that, it would take a ton of work to add :)

I am unfamiliar with the game you are referring to, but this definitely seem to be a new siv style game with new technologies, buildings and new races. It might even be the game you are referring to. Who knows?

Hi:

+

Does anyone have some general tips on starting to play this game? I've tried, but never got very far. I've heard this one is even better than DD Heroes, but I find heroes easier to understand for some strange reason.

For some reason, I just can't seem to get a grip on heroes. Anyway, using a settler, the first thing you would want to do is build a city bye finding a good spot, such as a piece of grassland or plane. If you can find a resource on the tyles, all the better. Tap the city button among the actions to build your city. Tap the city button at the menu above the action buttons to see your cities, change their productions and manage them. Once you have changed the production, set your taxes and check your research options before selecting turn done. You will be notified when buildings or units are ready in between turns.

I may be doing something really wrong because I've already played something like 200 turns and I still don't see any action. I am starting to get bored.
+Building workers, building settlers, they seem to do the same thing over and over.
+Exploring, irrigating, building roads, but that's it.
+Citizens becoming unhappy for who knows what reason.
+I don't seem to be going anywhere.
+What am I doing wrong?
+The other day, all the citizens got sick and now my city has a black star.
+What should I do about that? Is that the end of the game for me?
+I am starting to think that this building and managing is not for me.
+I like a game such as DD Heroes because it has action.
+I honestly feel kind of dumb about this game because when I think that I am starting to understand it, it turns out that I am wrong.
+For some reason, DD heroes scenes to work better for me.
+I still don't wanna give up on this game.
+I want to give it a try, one more try.
+ Hopefully, I will figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.
+As of right now, I am just thinking "when do I start conquering other cities and when do I get to conquer the world?"
+Almost all my turns say something like "no big news ".
+Oh, and I'm still waiting for an update for DD Heroes.
+Anyway, I will go play some more and hopefully I will see some action today.
+Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong here. I am about to say no to this game and I don't wanna do that just yet.
+I see that most of you are having lots of fun with this game and I want some fun too.

The black star is a new addition to the game. It indicates that the city you are working with is your capital. As for not being able to find action, I first need to ask a few questions. Are you playing alone, or are you playing with other nations? How many nations did you choose? If there are other nations, the trick is to obviously find out where they are in the first place. Also, I'm not sure what map you are playing on, so you might want to activate the super player mode bye double tapping on game at the top, then select super player and watch the advertisement in order to become the super viewer for the tern. Next, double tap on the world button and check under the cities of interest tab. A list of enemy cities should appear there, along with their locations. Once you have a preferred city in mind, you will obviously want to build A military unit such as a warrior, horseman or anything that can perform an attack and are available. Once this unit is built, you can command them to move to that location. Also, make sure to constantly check your production, so you don't miss out on anything. Sometimes, when you accidentally leave it, The city will start building coinage and continue to do so if left unchecked. If you are really having a hard time, you can always try the world building feature by going to civilisation and custom maps. You can build your own map, as well as choose where you and the enemy should begin, so you can find them much easier. You can play around with a feature and if you struggle, I can try to walk you through it.

This morning, I started a game with the alien race. It’s going quite good so far, but is the super player mode available in any of the maps? Also just a bit of a hint, but it seems like when you put workers on auto work it automatically increases your production or something like that.

When you put workers on auto work, they will automatically irrigate tyles, build roads or in some cases transform tyles if that technology is available. Yes, super player mode is available. Just double tap on game, then super player mode.

So far, it looks like the next version will allow us to create our own maps using the alien ruleset. There will also be policies for the augmented ruleset. Furthermore, should we lose the game, we can now act as observers and watch the rest of the game unfold. Haven't tried it out yet, but I just woke up this morning to find the update on test flight.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

I really enjoy strategy games.
+I loved playing the original Civilization I and II back in the day on my computer.
+I tried to find an email to contact the dev to let him/her aware of the accessibility issues with this app but I could not find an email or contact form.
+Only social media to contact the dev and I'm not on FaceBook nor twitter etc.
+It would be really awesome if a civilization type of game was fully accessible.

I found him on messenger and he said he would like to add accessibility to the game. He didn’t say if he would however. Can’t blame him if he doesn’t. I imagine it would take him some time and effort to do it and he has no incentive beyond humanitarian reasons. Even so, it’s a pity because this game is so close to being fully playable using VO. The only things that are missing are buttons on the tiles and maybe a way to tell distance between tiles. Still, I don’t know how hard it is to do that. Maybe if many of us could contribute to his efforts it would be worth his time but I don’t know anyway to do so. After all, there might be a niche in the market here since no accessible strategy game whatsoever exists out there. I know that I would pay good money for this game if it was accessible.

I'm of course willing to help with testing etc and paying for an accessible version is no prob.
+If the dev is interested please let him/her know about this forum and this topic.
+He should also have an email to contact him/her or a contact form.
+Anyways, keeping my fingers crossed that accessibility is implemented soon.
+I guess it takes some effort making the game accessible but that also depend on how the current game is coded, especially regarding the map.

I will be interested to see how this goes. From what I could tell from playing the game yesterday, it seems like the developers put a lot of thought into the storyline and how the game works. It seems like a really really awesome game! I may message him myself at some point, or her, and let them know about my podcast and see if they be interested in coming on the show if nothing else, they could get their game out there to more people by talking about it!

First of all the developer seems very willing to help. He said that he has tried some accessibility experiments about the map tiles. It is not very easy but it should be doable. The project is his hobby work, so it is totally free and supported by advertisements embedded in the game.
+Furthermore, after I asked if there is anything that we could do to help him, he said that it would be good if someone would like to help promoting the game to more audiences and improving the pixel arts, it will be very great to boost the advertisement performance.
+So having in mind how good this game is and the absence of any other strategy game that comes even close to this one, I think that we should help him in order for him to help us.
+Since I have no way to promote the game it’s up to this community to finally get us a civilization like strategy game that’s worth playing.
+Do your best guys

I tired the game and I have ot say it looks almost completely inaccessible. I can't really plant my city, I can't really add personal. and ther are a lot of unlabeled buttons at the bottom of the page where the game begins. How can anyone begin this game at all?

+
+
    +
  • +
+
+
+
+ +
+
+ +

+ +
+ + +
+ +
+ +

To plant your city you must first make sure that your settler is selected. The selected unit is indicated on the small panel on the bottom left corner of your screen along with other information such as the tile on which the selected unit is currently on, your gold, your income, your research points etc. the settle button, the build road button, the build irrigation button, the sentry button, the fortify button, the load and unload unit button, the wait button, the done button and the more button are all labeled. Concerning the unlabeled buttons, when you swipe right from the top of the screen to the bottom, those buttons are as follows. First move unit diagonally up and left. Second move unit up. Third move unit diagonally up and right. Fourth move unit left. After that there is a button which to my device reads add and which centers the selected unit on the map. Fifth move unit right. Sixth move unit diagonally down and left. Seventh move unit down. Eighth move unit diagonally down and right. So to come back to where I started, select your settler, use the unlabeled buttons as indicated to move, choose a tile of your liking by using the information on the panel which is located on the bottom left of your screen and when satisfied press the build city button.
+Further more when choosing which technology to research, make sure to scroll up and down with three fingers on the screen because by swiping left and right you might miss some technologies.
+Anyway I’m not saying the game is accessible it’s just somewhat playable as of today. There are other tricks you can use but they are too many to list without a specific question. In any case I have managed to successfully conquer a nation on easy mode.
+PS. It’s better to use the world map because you’re starting point depends from the nation you selected to play with. For example if you select English you will start in England, Greeks in Greece, Portuguese on Portugal etc. This is very helpful in order for you to find your bearings on the map.

I did all of that but there was no build city button. there was not even an add seteler button. I did use the info on the left but yeah I was stuck at 49 58 or something in america. Accessibility really needs to be improved. I can't read wit hall of those pictures like th epeace simbol, or what not. Thsi game is like I said not very doable. I'm totally blidn so this is not helping.

The developer did say, that he was planning to release an update this week addressing some of the VoiceOver issues. I’m also going to have him on my live show on Clubhouse next week to discuss this game. He does have plans to improve accessibility. Among the questions I’m going to ask him will be what can we as a community do to help him? Honestly, if he is willing to make this game accessible and try to make strides towards implementing VoiceOver, I think it’s only fair that we step up and help him where we can.

Is this a single player, or a multiplayer game? Are you constantly harassed by other players, or are you left to your own devices for most of the time? I don't like games where I have to be on the defensive constantly. While I don't mind fighting, I personally like for it to be a mutual agreement between players.

ATM this is a single player game. I haven’t tried it on the higher difficulty levels but in easy mode you can expand in peace without harassment from the computer.
+Also I totally agree with firefly. We as a community should put our strength in numbers at work and do our best to help the developer any way we can. It’s only fair after all. :)

I like the accessibility except I can't " tap the center of the map for food max stuff? per the hint. Also I'm supposed to research my next technology. That is a bit confusing. also why when I have 12 out of 30 settlers do I still have a population of 1 under improvements?

yep, I cannot really max food as I tap a square on the map, it says "our territory or unclaimed territory, and when I go to tap the max food button on the city I still am stuck with this hint. is ther no way to complete this? my settlers still have a population of 1 but I have 46 of 38 people.

There is a button. If you can’t find it first tap on the panel that is situated on the bottom left corner of the screen and swipe right from there until you find the button that is labeled turn done. Otherwise search for the button somewhere on the top right corner of your screen. To end the turn all units need to have taken an action for the turn done button to appear.
+I also have some problems with the food situation as of yet but if you build your city correctly you need not address this problem until your city has grown to size 30 or something. The problem is when my units find friendly cities on auto explore mode and thus the new city appears in the middle of nowhere. Just try to plant your cities on planes close to the shore, build a harbor and irrigate your tiles.
+There is also an issue when loading units on ships. The game crashes then but I will check again after I have updated my iOS to the latest version. Even now however there is a workaround but I can’t remember how I did it.

1. There is a mini city map in the top/left corner of city controller. For the description "Tap the center of map to place citizens for maximum food output,...." the map means the mini city map in the city controller.

+

2. Tapping anywhere in the world map only shows terrain/unit/city briefing information, it does not change the city production output.

+

3. The action of tapping "Maximize Food" button in city controller is equal to tapping the center of mini city map. A response message should be shown after button tapped in the future version.

1. If no any more order need issue to the current focus unit, there is a button 'Order unit to done with this turn' in the bottom/right of screen. Tap it to mark this unit done.

+

2. The "end turn" button will be shown in the right side of screen after all units marked done for this turn.

I do tap the max food button but I don't see any changes on the screen after I do this. I see the turn end button. so how will I preceed if I'm constently told to max my food. I'm on turn 14 I believe and my food is getting less. Here is a mini demo. Notice taht when I tap the max food button nothign appears to happen. I really don't know what to do at this point and how to get more than 20 units of food.

Where to start, what to do, who to move, what to build, where to double tap, it's all so weird with all these options. Yet I'm having a blast. I'm currently just playing by myself with no opponents, just to try and get the hang of things. Might take a while yet. I don't feel ready for any challenge at this point.

First turn
+First of all it’s important to know that when you start a game on the world map, your starting point depends from the nation you selected. So it is best you select a nation with the geography of which you are already familiar so that you can have a good idea of what to expect from the map around you.
+On the 500/250 earth map, you start with 2 settlers 1 explorer and 1 diplomat. So on the first turn try to find a spot on the map with good terrain. When you tap on the bottom right part of your screen with one finger, VO will read the tile information and the coordinates of the tile on which the active selected unit is located. For example, planes, 1/1/0, 280,86, settlers. That means that your active unit is the settlers which are situated on the coordinates 280,86 and that this tile is plains with 1 food 1 production and 0 trade. You can also access this information by tapping ones anywhere on the information panel which is located on the left of your screen and then by swiping right with one finger until you reach this info which is the last item after which you can’t swipe anymore. The best terrain is plains with something on top. That is either buffalo, wheat etc. I also prefer that some ocean tiles are next to my city because by building a harbor the food production is increased.
+It is also best that you move your explorer before you choose where to build your city because by moving your explorer more tiles will be revealed on the map. After building your city move the diplomat into it and forget about him for a while.

+

Map and navigation
+The best way to navigate on the map is to first press the scroll map on the selected unit, then tap once on the middle of your screen and then swipe left or right with one finger to move to the adjacent tiles. To move up or down, select vertical navigation on your rotor and then swipe up or down with one finger. Note that the coordinates numbers on the vertical axis move up the farther you move to the right and on the vertical axis the numbers move up the farther you go down. So from west to east the coordinates go up and the same thing goes from north to south. For example the 280,86 tile is on the left of the 281,86 tile and the 281,87 tile is under the 281,86 tile.
+To move a unit around there are three ways. First you can move your units one tile at a time by using the move north east, move north, move north west etc. buttons. The second way is to first double tap on the move to location button and then you must select a destination tile on the map and double tap it. Note that when pressing the go to location button, the information panel which is located on the left of your screen disappears and the map occupies The whole of your screen. The third way is to select the go to city button and then select the destination city from the list. You can also airlift your units providing you have built airports both on the city of origin and the destination city. By double tapping on the more orders button of the active unit, you can also set this unit on auto explore mode. This works best with explorers and with the military units that you find on your way.

+

Expansion
+After you have built your first city you must build improvements both in the city and on the tiles around it. The production of warriors is automatically selected as the first production of your new city. To change it, press the cities button which is located somewhere on the top of your screen between the game and nation buttons. Then select production overview, press the change button which is on the bottom and slightly right and select a building from the list. To access the cities menu you can also swipe up with two fingers and go on from there.
+To improve the tiles around your city you must first build workers. When they are ready, move this unit on the tile which you want to improve and either select build irrigation, open mine or build road. When building buildings, in the beginning you must focus on food buildings. First you must build the granary which helps your city grow beyond size 4. Harbor also helps a lot with food. However you need to research the appropriate technology for both of these buildings. Another thing is that when you select the production overview from the city menu, the game tells you what is being built in each city. For example if you are building a settler, the game will tell you the name of the city and then settlers 12/30. That means that the indicated city is currently building settlers and that the progress is 12 out of 30. When this number reaches 30 out of 30 the settlers are finished. How much progress you make from one turn to another depends from the production rate of your city. For example city with 5 production will build a settler in 6 turns, A city with 10 production will built a settler in 3 turns etc. you can also check the production rate of each of your cities from the production overview menu along with other info such as food. Just open the production menu and swipe until you reach the city you want. The game will read you all the available info in one go.

+

About technology
+When you start the game a research is automatically selected. You can see what is your current research project from the information panel which is located on the left of your screen. Thing is that you must select your next research project before the current project is over. The game automatically tells you to select a research when it is time for that. However you can access your research overview and change your next research project by selecting the nation button which is located on the top of your screen between the cities and world buttons. Then press research overview, select a technology and press done on the bottom right corner.

+

About food
+When you select the production overview from the cities menu and you double tap on the city there is a button which is labeled maximize food. If your food situation is not improved after pressing it something else is wrong. You can remedy your food problems either by building the appropriate buildings or by improving the tiles around your city by building irrigation using your workers. However if you build your city on the wrong terrain, let’s say glaciers or hills surrounded by other hills or mountains, your food situation might be irreversible and your city might only reach a certain size after which it will grow no more.

+

Finally, on the right of the world button on the top of your screen there is the encyclopedia button. There you can find specific information about many aspects of the game.

+

Bottom line is that a game that is so good has a level of complexity but if I can manage then you can manage.

If the exploring unit was built in one of your cities you can access this unit by opening the menu of the city in which the unit was billed and then select supported units and select the unit. When you double tap on the unit you want, a menu will appear which will indicate the current coordinates of this unit and below that there is a list with some actions. If you double tap on the coordinates, the game will select this unit as the active unit and will center it on the map.
+I haven’t found a way to locate units that were found by other exploring units because those units aren’t supported by a city. In any case I think this is The state of things. Might be that even the units that are found by other exploring units are automatically supported by a city and thus will appear in the appropriate menu. I haven’t checked.

So far, I am loving this game. I had to go with it yesterday, though I managed to have a horrible outcome, by losing all of my cities which leads me to my question, how do you know when the game is over basically when you lost your one? Without spoiling too much? Also I cannot wait to build railroads and airports and to take on everyone else in the world! LMAO!

so I'm confused. I don't yet know how to build another city. and no my food is not being maximized. that miini map at the top left is confusing as all get out. and the thign that is suposed to say the location to the right is not there, not on my screen. It looks a bit different that the layout the poster described.

So I have never played a game quite complex as this, so I'm excited about it. I think I'm probably going to try it on my iPad instead so I can use a bigger screen for the map. Still, I wish the game had a more in depth tutorial. There are so many buttons, menus, and things to keep track of! It's very overwhelming!

So I downloaded this game and have spent about five minutes with it. To be completely honest, I do think some work still needs to be done. The interface is not the most smoothest experience in the entire world. Does anyone have the email address of the developer? I would like to give him some suggestions. I think the ability to delete save files would be a good idea. Also, what exactly is the difference between new history and new planet? Last, I can’t believe they actually allow us to play as the Zulu. That is so awesome.

On new planet mode, you literally begin from scratch and it's also a bit of a sandbox mode where you can choose exactly how many nations will be participating. If you have trouble, you can select to be the only nation in the game and play by yourself peacefully. When you select the new history mode, you must select a nation and compete against other nations. Also, you will need to choose the time period in which you wish to play, so you will be able to toy with some great technology from the get go.

You must consider that two weeks ago this game was almost inaccessible and the developer implemented accessibility with lightning speed. In fact he is still working on it. Just yesterday he fixed a bug which caused the game to crash when loading units on ships. You must also take in account that this is a side project for the developer and he does it just for fun.
+Furthermore I think that we shouldn’t bombard him with emails and messages. Firefly is talking with him and he also reads those comments when he has got the time. So my humble opinion is that we post our suggestions here and give some space to this fantastic guy.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

I had no idea that accessibility was only implemented a few days ago. My humble apologies. I’m glad he still working on it, that’s great. Another idea I have would be if we could use the custom actions instead of tapping on the menu. So for example, if you wanted to order your settlers to build a city you could navigate to the cities and then swipe up until you see a build city and then double tap or something.

I like that idea but the voiceover actions would have to be implemented for each button, I think. I dunno if that would be feasible in the end.

The best way I have found to maximize food, is to make sure that you have active workers in a city, that build irrigation often! While in the city. When you start to get into the industry., Or the industrial part of the game, you can do farming, and that I haven’t gotten that far yet I spent a lot of time reading the encyclopedia last night.

1. Excuse me for the inconvenience by introduced a crash voice label when a unit can be loaded into a ship in a city. Version 1.2.9 fixed this issue.

+

2. There are some other voice-over enhancements in the version 1.2.9 too:
+ (a) Do not automatically scroll world map center to voiceover focused element when player touch screen
+ (b) Read out  "Infrastructure: Irrigation/Road/etc" if it exists when a VoiceOver player taps on a tile in the city map
+ (c) Read out "Mini Tribe Village" if it exists when a voiceover player taps on a tile in the world map
+ (d) Read out "location coordinate" of each city after tap go to city
+ (e) Update current unit information in footer to more sense text
+ (f) Make events view after turn done modal, no overlay with world map anymore
+ (g) Show respond information after tap "Maximize Food"
+ (h) Add "Maximize Entertainers/Scientists/Taxmen" buttons to adjust specialist roles easier

+

3. Special thanks to Panagiotis Mourouzis, Michael Gindele and Jesse for Great feedbacks and help to test beta versions.

V1.3 is probably coming out soon.
+Points of interest menu will be added in which all previously discovered cities will be listed. This will be very helpful when planning offensive campaigns. In this regard, the offset function which is also upcoming, will be of great help as well by indicating The controlling city of any individual tile and the distance to it.
+Furthermore by tapping on a worker or an engineer, the game will be reading out the action that this unit is performing. For example irrigation or mining.
+Also in the city interface, a potential enemies button will be added, which will list all incoming units and their coordinates, that are not controlled by the player and that are within a certain radius from the selected city. This info will also appear in the defense overview for all cities. So no more lightning on a clear day.
+Finally on the city map which is used to control the citizens of the city, the game will be reading the tile upgrades, Not just the terrain.
+There are also some other changes and fixes but those listed are the big ones.
+I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This developer is not only awesome but he is also a genius at his craft.
+Big thanks!

Even when playing alone, there's so much to do and discover, like for example what happens when you transform a piece of grassland and change it to your liking. Here is a tip. Mining a piece of grassland will turn it into a forest. Irrigate the forest and it becomes a plane. When you have fusion power, you can turn even the most sucky areas into wonders. Careful with mining though. Mining on a plane will restore it to a grassland and its previous state. Some areas can be mined more than once, such as glaciers which will allow you to at least get some shield from it, unless you have fusion power. Best iOS text game ever. Can't put it down.

I had noticed that some planes turne into grasslands etc. but I hadn’t figured it out yet. So since grasslands give more food than planes, probably the best strategy is to mine the plains and then irrigate the grasslands. Then cities will grow larger than 30. This is the largest I’ve gone so far.

I find planes to be much more beneficial. A well worked plane can provide two food, one shield and one trade. A glacier with a mine and road will get you three shields I believe. While grasslands are good on food, they are not very good on trade and shields. I prefer to keep that balance. Also, I personally like to Control one worker, while keeping the other on auto mode. The worker controlled by me is used to transform tiles, while the one on auto mode will clean up mess such as pollution and fallout from nuclear accidents. Workers on auto mode aren't very keen on mining and irrigation, although they will occasionally do it when absolutely necessary. On the other hand, I find them to be excellent at cleaning up mess.

Actually I must admit I am obsessed with food. It does me something when cities grow every 3 turns but all out grassland would be a disaster now that I think about it.
+I haven’t monitor workers closely on auto mode. However I often find them in the middle of nowhere. Do you know what they are doing? I think they are building roads but I’m not sure.

For the most part, they will just stand there doing nothing, waiting for pollution or fallout to drop somewhere. They are good at cleaning that kind of mess. They will occasionally do some mining or irrigation, maybe even build a road or two, but I'm not 100% sure. It is obviously best to take control of at least one so you can transform the area exactly to your liking. The same goes for transport and sea vessels. On auto mode, they will just sit around and wait for ocean pollution to drop somewhere. I am yet to do some ocean exploring.

The navigation between tiles in CT Mayor is very unreliable. You can't use vertical navigation to move from row to row. It just stays on the current tile while behaving like it's moving. Also, a better tutorial would be helpful. Some of us have never played a game like this before.

As far as I understandd from my experience different units can go to a spesific distance in each turn. for example I used my explorer andd findd a very nice place to build my first city but I can not be sure if my settilers reach there. also do we lose build city option for that turn when we move our settler or I can not find the option;

Just move your setler setler to the place you want to build the city. You will not hear from them until they reach the destination. Once they reach the destination, the build city command will be among the options.

They will start asking for orders again. That's how you know they've got to the location. While they travel, you won't be able to command them. Also, when you build a city, you will lose the setler and will need to build a new one.

I got that part. my question is more about strategy. for example I have a good place for a city but I'm not sure if it will take one turn or two which will influence my action? is there any way how long that journey will take or I just build in somewhere close so that I don't lose a lot of turns? I'm really sorry that this conversation took so much place in the forum

It all depends on many things. How far are you from the location, what kind of road are you travelling on and how many move points do your character have? All those factors must be taken into consideration when travelling. When it's a grassland without a road, or a desert area, it will drain your character and make him tired much faster, so they will travel much longer. When it's an easy road like a plane, it will allow them to travel faster. There is really so much strategy to consider in this game and I don't even remember all. Many things must be learned through trial and error.

I've tried this game. Firstly, I agree with comments above that it needs a better tutorial. Also which Touraine is best for building a city? Also I think that locating units, and moving units around could be made a bit easier.

Currently, there are three ways to move a unit which you can choose from. First is the north, east, south, west and the rest of the directional buttons. Secondly, you can select and specify the exact location for it to move to, or if you move from city to city, there is even a menu which specifies what city you want to go to. You will need to come up with a fourth and better idea on how to move units, as I cannot think of any other way. One thing I do agree with is that, there need to be a way to locate units that doesn't belong to a city. Currently, we have no way of locating them. Perhaps from within the city menu, there can be an option next to the tasking units and present units, like unknown units or something, that will allow us to activate and control those units that are not supported by a city. We will be at a huge disadvantage if we cannot locate and control those units, especially when they are auto exploring.

As far as game tutorials go, the encyclopedia has a lot of good information. You can access it when you are in a game at any time are you going to the top of the screen and swiping right. As far as easier ways to move around the map, it seems to be pretty easy to do that right now, I’m not sure what exactly can be improved about that.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

The strategy logic and user interactive concept are inspired by the original Sid Meier's Civilization. Most graphics, music, map and text materials come from public domain licensed by Creative Commons License or General Public License.

I've contacted the developer regarding the explorers, archers, mercenaries and nomads that are not supported by cities. I have suggested that he add an option from within the city menu next to the tasking units and present units. Next to those options can be a new option saying unknown units, from where we can activate and control those units that are not supported by a city, especially when they are auto exploring. So far, my only issue is the fact that we don't have full control over those units, but adding such an option will be a great help to all of us.

OK I’ve struck gold! When viewing the map, triple tap with two fingers on your screen to bring up the IOS item selection menu. A list will appear with all the tiles that are on your screen at this moment. Then you can use the search box to search whatever you are looking for on the map and filter out the results. For example if you are searching for wheat or coal and you enter the keyword in the search box, the item selector will only show tiles with The resource you want. It gets even better. You can enter the word unit in the search box and only tiles with units on top will be listed. Same thing goes for cities, points of interest of a specific nation etc. GG and you’re welcome :)

I wonder if there's any game difference between all those resources, since everything revolves around food, shield and trade? Perhaps those other resources will give a bonus to A specific area? We'll have to do some experiments.

I wonder if you can irrigate the land or do mining anywhere you want, or does it have to be on your city's offset tiles? I know that you can perform these actions anywhere you want, but whether or not they actually generate resources for your city is another question.

+
+
    +

+ +
+ + +
+ +
+ +

You can build all infrastructure wherever you want but you get nothing if it’s not within the boundaries that your cities work. However this is useful because when building cities far away from your capital you might need to irrigate a couple of wheat tiles first, Else your new city will be destroyed by famine on the next turn due to food waste. Food waste is Haft by Grannary or courthouse and is eliminated with both. Also note that the four corners of the offset zone are not worked by the city.
+Furthermore coal is only found on hills and iron only on mountains. I think iron gives more production than coal but mountains give no food at all.

The menus have also changed. Now in the world menu you can also find units of interest which are enemy units within your territory. When you’re empire has grown, better check this menu before everything else when the turn starts.
+Also when there is a disorder in a city, when you press the end turn button and then the handle disorder button, all cities with disorders appear in a separate list.
+Now you can also choose how to list cities in the cities menu without having to go back. Same goes with diplomacy relationships in the world menu.
+The tutorial is in a separate menu so I don’t think you need to start a new game in order to access it. There is more to the update just do a bit of looking around.
+This game is getting better and better. Dr. Wu Jianfeng has not only made this game fully accessible and making it seem easy in the process, which I’m sure was not, but he has also shown how this beautiful mind of his works. In fact by seeing the doctors work ethics and professionalism I would trust him to develop anything and to do it perfectly. The attention he puts into details is impressive and he lets nothing slip, even for a side project of his which this game is.

When creating one of these maps, The app will crash when creating maps in certain ways and as soon as you start the game. I have sent one of these maps to the developer, as I'm not exactly sure what's causing the crash. Anyway, it is as you say. The game is getting better and better. Multiplayer diplomacy also works now.

So I've figured out why the game crashes when building your own map sometimes. There are what I would like to call starting tiles where either you or your opponents are randomly chosen to begin on. Through trial and error, you must learn where these starting points are. This is very important, because if you don't have a land tile on at least one of these starting points for both you and your opponents, there will obviously be no place to start from, so the game will crash. In short, try to figure out where the starting points are, start building your map by placing a land tile, preferably A plane or grassland, then work from there. The rest is easy Peasy. A long time ago, back in the days of the Nintendo entertainment system, there were a couple of games where you could edit your own map. These games were Battle city and Lode runner. While all these different games clearly had different objectives, the editing concept was the same. You simply select one among many building options, then plant them on an empty 16x16 grid. Those were the days and boy did I miss those days, but who could've thought that I'd be building maps like that ever again at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022? Just awesome stuff.

Just looking this over, and it looks awesome! I particularly like the ability to get lists of units and cities, and scroll through them.

+

I do however have two questions.
+Firstly, is there a way to see steps in the tutorial again once you've moved around the game screen? There's so much to look at, often I either get the step wrong, or am not sure where to find the thing I need to progress.

+

Second, I was wondering what the state of accessibility is for the master of Orion mode, since I've always wanted to try a game of galactic exploration and colonisation.

+

I'm quite aware the developer is a busy fellow, and it's obvious that the accessibility work that's already gone into the civilization mode is pretty fantastic, I was just curious, since when I had a look at the galaxy mode, the interface seemed very different from that in civilization mode.

+
+
    +

+
+
+
+ +
+

+ +

I doubt you can see the steps again in the tutorial, unless you restart the tutorial. As for galaxy mode, I'm not sure if it's fully accessible, or maybe it's just me being stupid. i too, would like to hear from a galaxy pro on this.

I just wanted to give some impressions as a fan of games like this. I'm over all very impressed. The map navigation is quite simple and straight-forward. It is easier for me to explore by touch, rather than swiping. I also very much appreciate the lists of units and ease of access to information in general.

+

I'm afraid the galaxy/Orion mode is not accessible. I've played Master of Orion quite a bit, and we currently don't have access to the galaxy map as far as I can tell.
+I am a bit surprised to see the two games combined like this. There is little similar between them, and they are quite distinct in some ways. i'm not complaining mind you, just a little confused :)

+

I very much look forward to many hours of fun with this game. Thanks so much for the work on it.

From my personal experience, it seems to be a kind of tile that prevents any and all access. You can't even get resources from it or travel onto it by any means, although I'm not 100% sure if we will be able to do so with later technologies. On the plus side, it seems to be a good way to force a space race. Just build inaccessible tiles between you and the enemy, then you won't be able to bother each other. On a 100x50 grid, I have built myself a straight vertical line filled with plain tiles stretching from [0, 0] and [0, 47], surrounding them with inaccessible tiles. This way, I have insured that both me and the enemy must work from a straight line, cutting off the rest of the world. Let's see how this turns out.

I have been trying to play the galaxy mode. It seems pretty accessible, except I can't figure out how to find other star systems to start a new colony, which is pretty much the whole point of the game.

+

There could be controls voice over isn't seeing, , if so I wouldn't know.

+

From the description it sounds like it will be be a really cool game when I get it working.

Some new history scenarios are here, like the American Civil War. There are also new maps, such as Japan and I can't remember the other one. New community maps are also available to choose from. In addition, we now have a brush to work with when creating our own maps. We can select the type and the size of the brush. The type and size of brush will determine how many tiles to cover at once when double tapping on it, or how the tiles is covered. For example, a square type brush which has been set to size 9 will Cover the highlighted tile along with 4 to the north, east, south and west. This will obviously allow for faster map building. Go and grab the update, if you haven't already.

I am not a user of a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone, but I would certainly buy one if the game worked with a keyboard. I think back to when I had vision and played it on the PC. I scrolled the map with the mouse, but movement was all arrow keys, and tasks were quick keys. So easy to just go I for irrigation, B for Build, M for mine etc. Being able to do that alone would be great, but I would love to be able to use it for map movement. In a perfect world, you would move focus around the map with arrows to explore the terrain, having the cell contents automatically echoed, and pressing a key like enter to move the active unit to that point. I think Civ is one of the best games of all time, but as much as I appreciate the accessibility, I find the whole interface cumbersome when presented with playing it on a touch screen.

It looks like he's started on trying to make galaxy mode work for us as well. There still seem to be some hiccup's with it, but it's nice to think that we'll perhaps soon have two classic strategy games in one, for free.

I contacted the developer about the accessibility of the map in the galaxy mode (Master of Orion).
+He confirmed to me that he had labeled all the elements, as for the civilization mode.
+Indeed, map elements such as star systems are correctly read by VoiceOver.
+To locate them and interact with them, the most convenient seems to me to be the use of the VoiceOver element selector, with press 3 times with two fingers.
+Note that the screen only displays part of the galaxy.
+It is only once in interaction with an element of the map that another portion of the galaxy can be displayed, by swiping with 3 fingers vertically or horizontally.
+The developer will try to improve the map Controller (popup after tapping Map menu) to read out star information in the future version.

The VoiceOver gestures mentioned in my previous email allow in particular to find other star systems to start a new colony, but they do not work in the map menu which remains desperately inaccessible.
+Hopefully the developer can actually fix it in a future release.
+In the meantime, to test if we can do without it because this game is a cult game and apparently remains a reference like Civilization.

Hi,

+

As far as I understand it the galaxy map mode is just for showing the whole area at once, and you can't actually interact with it to send ships or what have you. I might be wrong.

+

That being said, I have some issues with the current game but I can't tell if they're bugs in the VO implementation or the actual game mechanics. I've played Master of Orion quite a lot, and for instance reserve fuel tanks always let you send ships which equip them out two parsecs beyond your current colony ship range. I couldn't seem to send scouts out four parsecs in a recent game, and am not sure why.

+

I'll definitely keep my eye out for future improvements however.

That issue I mentioned in my previous comment is a bug which the developer says will be fixed in the next version. I'm very much looking forward to that along with an updated map controller, which will hopefully help make the galaxy mode more pleasant. It's already very nice to play around with but I hesitate to start a longer game at the moment.

I never knew the bug existed. All you need is enough starting positions as far as I know. If you have only one start position, then you won't be able to adjust players.

i will try it.

Let me know if it works for you. I'm not sure how many starting positions you can have, but you can definitely have multiple starting positions. This should allow you to adjust both nations and human players.

Glad I could help. Just remember that even though you have multiple starting positions, The game still randomly selects who starts where. So, if you have two starting positions, the computer will randomly choose which one is yours and which one is his.

We can now choose exactly who is starting where on the map, as well as planting cities on our own custom maps for both ourselves and our opponents. We can also choose our own AI opponents, which was a suggestion of mine and for which I am extremely grateful. Furthermore, we can now literally cheat or reverse cheat bye selecting high technology for ourselves or vice versa. There are also updates to the Galaxy mode, although I'm so caught up with this civilisation mode, I haven't played galaxy in ages. I'm afraid someone else will have to step in and enlighten us on galaxy mode. Creating all of these fancy stuff is a bit of a tricky process, but it is still 100% accessible and like Terry Silver from karate kid would say, bigger and badder than ever. If anyone is struggling with managing nations, just ask.

As you all know, there are now new options when building your own map. There is an option labelled file, where you can save your map and set the initial technology level. Doing this will allow all nations on the map to start equally with the same technology. Next to the file option is a brush. This option is pretty straightforward, allowing you to change the shape and size of the brush you want to work with, as well as switching between terrain and resources. Next to the brush option is another brush option, although I'm not sure why it is labelled that. Anyway, the second brush option is actually the player management option. Selecting this option will allow you to add specific nations to the map. Keep in mind however that selecting this option will disable the ability to adjust nations on the startup game screen, as the game will automatically assume that the nations you chose at the nation management screen is the nations you'll be playing with. Thus, in this case you will only be able to adjust the number of human players at this screen. Another thing to remember is that should you use the nation management option, your nation Will start the game with no units, so it is extremely important to make sure you plant a city for your nation. If you don't plant a city for your nation, you won't be able to build cities as you obviously will have no settlers. The same rules apply to each additional nation you add via the nation management option. Once a nation has been added via the nation management option, you can double tap on the nation to change its technology level between 2 and 80. Changing technology levels via the nation management option will act as a kind of cheat or reverse cheat mode depending on who you wish to favour. Hope this was helpful.

So, when using the player management option, having planted cities for both you and your opponents, the AI doesn't seem to know what to do given the fact that we start with no units. It seems that the AI will only build military units and grow their city to size 2. They won't build new cities and they won't build settlers or workers. I have reported this. Of course, I could be entirely wrong. However, after many turns, I look at their cities and see only one or two military units and they still have the same amount of cities they started with.

So I have a question. I am working on a map called jungle Paradise. I have manually added in the number of nations I want. So I have created starting positions for them, as well as starting cities. If I choose not to manually add in players in future Mavs, do I still need to create starting positions because of the number I might have? So for example let’s say I have five nations total, even if I don’t want to manually add them in do I need to create five separate starting positions.

If you setup nations for players, you don't need to set start positions anymore.

+

Start positions only work for random players without any pre-defined nations.

OK thanks. As far as the World War II map goes, I am a history buff, so I know a lot about it, but what would you guys as a community like to see in the map? What time. Would you like it to start at also? I’d have to look up again when World War II started so I think it was in 1939?

I am very impressed at how quickly this developer has been implementing accessibility features. Just a couple days ago he updated this game with a more accessible map layout for the master of Orion mode. Also I see how he is reading and actively contributing to this discussion. So a big thank you to him.
+I do have one question. More like a statement really. I'm not sure how exactly to get my ships to move in the galaxy mode. I have tried selecting the system I want them to go to and I have tried changing the slider bars to send different numbers of ships and everything else I can think of. So I'm not sure why I haven't been able to get my shits to go anywhere.

Apparently, AI's with lower tech just need more time. I guess I jumped the gun too early. Sorry about that. Anyway, @Firefly go for WWII if you want. It's a mostly free world lol. Starting positions only apply to maps without specific nations.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

For The_PineApple,

+

I’m not sure why the system ate my previous comment, but in order to move in Galaxy Mode you need to select the fleet you’re moving, set the number of ships, and set a destination. Finally, there’s an “accept,” button near the bottom of the screen, which only appears if you’ve selected a star you have the range tech to reach. NOte that by default your scouts have reserve fuel tanks, which gives them three parsecs of additional range. To be honest I find moving fleets the most tedious part o the game, though perhaps I just need practice. The way the local map view is handled currently is a bit annoying, I‘m not sure why I struggle with it.

+

I did have a gameplay question of my own. I notice that the tactical combat from Master of Orion doesn’t seem to be implemented? At least, when my ships have been attacked by enemies they always seem to win or lose immediately, from what I can see. I note that the original game had a separate tactical combat screen you were sent to whenever a battle occurred. I don’t know how importantthis is for the actual gameplay experience, but I was surprised to not encounter it.

+

I’m still very much excited by this game and pleased to have two classic strategy titles available for free. I very much appreciate all the developer has done.

For Zack
+Then I don't know what I missing, because I tried selecting the star system that was within range and selecting the fleet and I saw that for some reason it said ETA zero turns, then I hit the except button and then next turn and nothing happened.

For THe_PineApple,

+

ETA zero turns shouldn't happen if you actually selected a star. The only way it would happen is if you accidentally left your selection on the star the fleet is leaving from. I just tested this and it is possible to do that. I suspect the accept button should not let you tap it in that case, and the fact it does seems to be a bug.

+

Regardless, it always takes you at least one turn to move ships around. At the start of the game you go one turn per parsec, but later engine technology lets you speed that up, and star gates eliminate the delay entirely if you're sending fleets between them.

+

So basically, try it again. The ETA will always be at least one turn, more likely several in the early game.

someone on page one of this topic was talking about a podcast demonstrating the game. I'd be really interested in hearing that, since whenever I try to read the manual the complexity gets a bit much, but I'm fairly sure I'll love this if I can get into it now that the access is sorted out.

As far as podcasts go, I did do an interview with the developer of this game it will be released in the next episode, it was done in December, but being that the holidays were just around the corner, plus I had other things going on, the release date got pushed back a little bit. I will be releasing the interview this weekend. As far as demonstrations go, I haven’t done an episode on that yet.

So I am working on my World War II map. I have all the nations on there or tried to pick all the ones that would represent that time.. Also, at what technology level should I set the game at to make it so planes are available? Right now, I have it set to 80, but I think it may be too advanced for that time period in history. Any thoughts?

As some of you may already know, there is a new update which focuses on new map editing options. You can now add road, rail road and irrigation to tiles. There is also one change and one issue you should know about. The change is that rivers, resources, road, rail road and irrigation no longer works with brush sizes. They are added tile by tile. This is intentional and therefore, it's not a bug. The issue however, is that VoiceOver doesn't read roads, railroads or irrigation. I have reported that issue, so it will be worth on. In the meanwhile, you will just have to rely on your memory to know where you have added roads, rail roads or irrigation. Enjoy the new update.

In the new update if you choose random map then you can choose your rule set too. Currently there are 3 choices. Classic, CIV2/3 and augmented. This last one is awesome!!! Basically the augmented mode can be considered a different game there are so many differences. Tons of new units, buildings and technologies and there are also differences on how to grow cities. You can also mount turrets on ships and fortresses and loads of other things that I am learning now.
+When in an augmented rule set game check the encyclopedia there is information for everything.

I used to always forget to change the brush size when adding resources so I am really happy that I don't have to worry about that anymore. It may seem a little bit more tedious, but I really prefer only adding in resources one tile at a time.
+Also, in case anyone didn't know this yet, there is a planet earth option in the map editor now which already comes populated with terrain. At least, I'm pretty sure that's new as I don't remember seeing it before this new update.

If anyone has not already done so I highly recommend checking out the augmented rule set. The classic game is great as it is, but the augmented rule set is much more in-depth. You start at an earlier technology level; maybe just after the Stone Age. And it even includes some sci-fi type units. So I would say it has a much different feel than the other modes. I think, Panais, that your assessment was right on the money.

The next version will fix the problem with VoiceOver reading roads, railroads and irrigation when editing maps. In the next version, we will also be able to select our starting units, as well as city improvements on the map editing screen. Again, this will obviously serve as a cheat mode or a reverse cheat mode depending on who you choose to favour.

Concerning the augmented rule set, policies are not yet implemented so the current version isn’t working in its full capacity. Thus, maintaining order in newly conquered cities is somewhat challenging for example. However, policies will be implemented in a later version.
+Still, I am obsessed with this new mode. There are so many new things to do.

I have been wondering about that. I haven't actually figured out how to do any researching at all for the first several turns and most of my knowledge has come from scrolls in the beginning. I know that science output is 25% it's normal value under tribal government, and that's the only government that you can start out with in the augmented role set. So I am at a loss as to what to do.

In the beginning all science output is produced by scientists. So when your city has grown beyond size 3 or 4, remove some citizens from the tiles and convert them to scientists. After some time things get rolling, however it’s best to always have a scientist or two, to speed up things, although science can be produced without them.

This update should fix the problem with VoiceOver reading irrigation, road and railroads when editing your own map. You can also add starting units and improvements to cities. There is one thing you should know however. Wonders can only be added once per map, so be careful who you're giving them to and where you add them. Removing a wonder will disappear it for good and you will only be able to add new wonders when building a new map. Enjoy.

In the next version, you will be able to play with a lot more maps that are packed with terrain, including the 500x250 world map when choosing the map editer. We will also now be able to choose from over 500 nations, instead of just 50. Furthermore, we will be able to choose government types as well as diplomacy statuses between nations in the map editor. This is getting wild.

What about this new export file function? Might be that if one creates a game with 2 human players, and then after his turn every player exports and sends the file to the other, we can have a crude multiplayer mode. However I haven’t figured out how to export the file yet.

It seems to me, that it is a way to share Maps with your friends by going into the Files app. This way, you can share your created map so I can play for example. Sadly however, I don't think I have friends to test the feature on. On your iPhone home screen, go to the Files app and open it. Select the browse tab, then select on my iPhone. Open the BC4000 folder and check your maps. Select the map you wish to share, unless you have no one to share it with. You can try me if you want. My email is denzilmelgior@icloud.com

I was able to test the feature on myself. I deleted the map from my game, however I sent it to my own email address before deleting it. As soon as I opened the attachment, there was an option saying save to files. When selecting this option, you will be able to choose the folder that you wish to save it in. Anyway, I decided to save it to my maps and what do you know? The Mac was back in my game, as if someone else sent it to me. So in short, you create your own map, then use the Files app to send it to one of your contacts so they can enjoy the map you created. I believe the developer must have gotten tired of adding maps to the community section. Honestly, I would too if I was him. At least this way, you can share your map with whoever wants it. Trying to make the community section is a bit of a longshot, as there are thousands of players sending maps around.

We tried it with DMNagel and it seems to work. However he was right about what he said concerning the map files. What you need to share is a saved file from the saved folder. This way is very very crude because you need to save the game and send the file after every turn and nothing is stopping your opponent from reviewing your units and cities, since the file has to be saved after you have ended your turn and your opponent has started his. So cheating is an issue indeed.
+However, the game can officially be played online all be it via the crudest of Waze.

1 create a game with at least 2 human players.
+2. Start the game and take your turn.
+3. End your turn and press the ‘hand the device to … and press here’ button and then press continue.
+4. Save the game.
+5. Quit the game.
+6. On the load game screen rename the file so you can distinguish it from the others.
+7. Open the Files application on your iPhone.
+8. Press ‘this iPhone’, open BC 4000 folder and then open the saves folder.
+9. Locate the saved file and share it with your opponent whatsapp works best for me.

+

Player 2 steps: 10. Have your opponent click on the file send to him and then press share and then press save to files.
+11. Save the file choosing this iPhone, BC 4000, saves.
+12. Open the game go to load game and load the file.
+13. Player 2 starts all over again from step 2.
+It’s tedious but it works.

The new file export feature can be used for many things in fact. It can be used to send Maps to friends, it can be used to play a long and tedious kind of multiplayer game, or it can even be used to make sudden changes in the middle of a game if you know how to be smart about it. For example, just the other day, I found a city on the brink of famine, so I saved my game right there on the spot and went to my files option, moved the map to my maps folder in order for me to make adjustments via the map editor. Then, I simply irrigated all the needed spots around the city and made some improvements before moving it back to my saves folder. Abracadabra, city improvements in one turn.

If you were using the augmented ruleset, then the left panel will obviously not be available, as there are currently no editing options for the augmented ruleset. Also, the map looks very different from the original game. However, you can locate your city and make building and unit improvements though. Not sure how those things can be available, as they are also different than the original game, but it is what it is I guess.

In the next version, you will be able to play as all 561 nations, without using the map editor. You will also be able to select between three victory conditions like space victory, cultural victory and allied victory, so you can now have a team victory if you have an alliance. Two Japan maps will also be added.

but I really can't figure it out. it seems that I moved my squad somewhere and clicked to build a city, but it's still not clear what and how to do and where to click. I'm afraid that even despite the coolness of this game, I will not play it. I hope that this developer will find some game from the rpg genre that is more understandable to me.

For people who don’t understand this game, what exactly do you not understand? We are happy to try and help, but a post like the comment above is very vague, and doesn’t explain where the confusion lies. This is not, actually, an RPG game, it’s a strategy game, and the expectations are quite different. The game is designed to explain itself, for the most part, but you have to at least be a little familiar with the very basics of the genre.

At the map editor, double tap on the add button, then double tap on the empty button. You will be taken to a screen with new options, such as selecting the ruleset, as well as sizes for your new empty map. When you are done selecting these things, just double tap on done and you will be taken to the editing screen.

Unfortunately, it's only for empty maps. Also, the augmented ruleset has many different terrain types than the original 500x250 map.–, Thus, it wouldn't support that map anyway, unless the developer adds such a world map supporting this particular ruleset.

A new middle eastern map will be added. Also, you will be able to plant oil wells and maglev in the map editor, something I suggested some time ago and are extremely grateful for. Some menus will also be rearranged, but it's not a great issue. Getting used to those will be chop-chop.

That’s all. There’s nothing more to say. The games he makes are the best ever!!! He has also succeeded in making mainstream strategy games accessible to the blind, a feet which not only seemed nearly impossible to me before he did it, but as far as I am aware no one else has done it before or Since.
+In fact there was some more to say :)

Couldn't agree more with that statement. I particularly enjoy the fact that you can quite literally create your very own history, or alternate history scenarios, both fictional and real. In some cases, I'm having even more fun with the map editor than the actual game itself. If one doesn't believe in alternate universes, this game will certainly give you enough reason to do so. Every time you play this game, it feels like you are in another dimension.

As some of you already know, this game is currently a two in one, given that we have a master of Orion mode. However, a new mode is also making its way into the game called battlefields. Obviously, this mode is still in early development and it seems to me, that we are currently unable to move around on the map using VoiceOver. On the other hand, it may just be me not knowing how things work. We will definitely be discussing this and hopefully, everything will be sorted out real soon. Looking forward to yet another accessible addition added to this game.

It llooks like Battlefield mode is not fully accessible yet, which is why people are having trouble with it. This mode seems to be a version of an old game called Battle Isle, and is similar to one of his earlier programs which was never VO accessible. I trust that now it has been folded into BC4000 there will be VoiceOver support soon.

Note that now that fog of war was implemented, all units currently appearing on the visible part of the map will also appear on the units of interest list, regardless of their proximity to a city. Or so I think anyway. This might need some more testing to figure out.
+Defeated nations now are also removed from the world reports lists and from the go to city nation list.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

The strategy logic and user interactive concept are inspired by the original Sid Meier's Civilization. Most graphics, music, map and text materials come from public domain licensed by Creative Commons License or General Public License.

Some of the terrain packed maps, such as the 500x250 world map will be removed from the editor. Also, you will no longer have to go into the brush menu to change between terrain and resources. All terrain and resources will be in one spot.

Well, technically you can watch the rest of the game unfold, but you won't actually be updated on who is doing what. Basically, you will just be in super player mode for the duration of the game, so I guess you will just have to explore every city on every turn to catch new developments. At first, I thought we would get turn by turn news updates or something. Still grateful for what we have though.

Well, I was just talking about notifications in the previous post, now they are suddenly a reality. When playing as the observer, we will be given turn by turn updates on what each nation is doing. It's madness I tell you, but I love it.

Wow. I have not tried the new alien rule set yet but I cannot wait. I am simply blown away by how much energy Jianfeng Wu puts into this game. I don't think honestly that I have ever encountered a game developer who implements every feasible suggestion made by the players. It's clear that either we are all totally on the same wavelength or he actually cares about reading our comments and suggestions. I hesitate to use terms like the best ever, but this is definitely on my list near the top. And it just keeps getting better and better. Jianfeng Wu thanks and keep up the great work!

To those who was holding up on the alien ruleset, now is the best time to try it, as it has made its way to the map editor. There are new units, terrain types, buildings, technologies and races to deal with. Should you lose all your cities and units, you can become an observer to the rest of the game. Note that when you are observing, the very first observation turn will contain all updates from the start of the game to wear you got killed off. You will be permanently in super player mode for the rest of the game, plus you will receive notifications on what each nation is doing. Have a good one.

So, it turns out that we have some new changes to the game. The first one is quite obvious, since there are new music. It took me a while to figure out the change regarding user defined tiles, but here it is. As you all know, previously when using the map editor and adding for example a plane, you would need to go through layers should you wish to improve the tile. For example, you would need to add a road first, followed by railroad and finally maglev. The same rule applied when adding food resources. You had to add irrigation first, before you could add farmland. Now, you don't need these layers anymore. Now you just add your plane, followed by farmland and maglev. In short, you can now skip the minor layers and add the best ones right away. You're welcome.

Once again, a major update is in the works. A new ruleset is coming called Aviation. In this ruleset, you begin in the year 1900 and every turn is equivalent to one month. obviously, there will be new units, buildings and 115 technologies. This ruleset Will also be available in the map editor from the start. So far, when selecting to play on a randomly generated map, only the first 50 nations seem to be available for now. However, I haven't fully tested this on the map editor yet. This developer truly is awesome. It's really feeling like I'm playing different civilisation games.

You can start a game without opponents and slowly figure how things work. Try using workers to improve the land around your city first. Also check out the guide to winning and the strategy guide on the encyclopedia. If you need any help send me a message and I will be happy to assist you.

Some maps, such as the 500x250 world map will also be getting new sizes. Furthermore, there is a very subtle change when editing your own map. Instead of the minimum being 50x50, you can now adjust it to 25x25 should you wish to do so. I am not sure how the map of the Asian continent can be almost twice the size of the world map lol, but I'm not complaining. Just a bit baffled by the logic.

As you all know, previously we were able to choose The minimum and maximum distance for cities to be away from each other. We could choose between 3 to 5 tiles. In the latest upcoming version however, we will be able to select between 1 and 11. This would drastically limit or even increase the number of cities you can build, making the game even more hard or easy. I've also asked the good doctor to consider dropping these limits in the map editor as well. I want cities to spring up like mushrooms lol.

Additionally, moving units on such a massive map can be very slow and difficult to do; are there any ways to make this easier? Lastly, is there any way to pick your opponent in the online game?

Check the mini map from within a city's menu. Move workers to all the tiles on that map and build roads/irrigation. Alternatively, you can just double tap on the work button and the workers will move to those tiles and perform work automatically. As for online games, you can just select the invite a friend option and it should work nicely. there are currently three ways of navigating depending on your situation. First, you can simply use the directional buttons which is perhaps the simplest way of moving a unit. Secondly, you can select the go to button, then explore the map with your finger and double tap on the tile you wish to go to. The unit will find its way to the location automatically, assuming that it's within reason. Thirdly, if you have cities, you can select the go to city button and make use of those menus to order units around from city to city. That's pretty much it. Hope that it was helpful.

When talking about workers, what DMNagel meant, is that you need to check the minimap within the city interface, in order to find out which tiles and their corresponding coordinates, are within the workable area of your city. Then you must select your workers on the actual map of the game, and direct them to improve the tiles you are interested in.
+Concerning online mode, in my version of the game the invite friend option is not available and thus choosing an opponent is not possible.

Now that I've checked thoroughly, it appears that there is no invite friends button, so I guess you and your friend will simply have to be online at the same time, then hope for the game to pair you up with each other.

So I can see the mini-map within a city. I then go back to the world map, and tap on that square. However, I don't see a way to get a citizen to work that tile. I see something like terrain forest, food production 1, shield production 2. But nothing about workers, or having someone work that square.

There are two things you can do with a tile. Work it and improve it.
+To work a tile, you must put your citizens to work on the tile. This is done using the mini map within the city interface.
+To work a tile, double tap on it until the game indicates that the selected tile is currently worked by your citizens. When a tile is worked by one of your available citizens, along with the tile coordinates, the game also indicates the resource output of the tile in question. If no output is indicated by the game when you tap on a tile, then the tile is not worked by your citizens.
+Improving tiles is another story altogether. The benefit of improving tiles is that when improved, tiles provide extra output to their city when worked by your citizens. To improve tiles you must first build units that are able to provide these improvements. Such units are workers and engineers, although settlers can also do the job all be it slower.
+After you have built and selected your workers on the actual map, you must move them upon the tile you want them to improve. When there, just select the improvement you want them to carry out. The main improvements you can build on a tile our irrigation, mine and Road.
+Also note that by building certain improvements on a tile, you can also change the nature of the tile. For example if you select to irrigate a forest, the forest will turn into a plane upon which you can then build actual irrigation, in order to gain more food.

+In my message I mentioned that in DDH the "points of interest" button is not working. It is inaccessible.
+Those of you who are beta testing BC 4000 and, if you are also beta testing, iOS 16, please give DDH a look and help me get the developer's attention to this issue.
+I also need your help corroborating this problem.

From within a city's interface, select the change button and select the things you wish to build. Workers/engineers should be among the options. Basically, an engineer is an upgraded worker. They can work faster than ordinary workers and even perform better tasks, such as transforming certain areas into others. They even gain higher levels as they work, allowing them to work even faster. They only become available with higher technologies.

When that is done, there will be an option which says load into the ship when using your setler. Next, you simply move it across the ocean. Please note that a trireme can't move in the deep ocean, only ocean. To move in the deep ocean, you need a transport.

So I've been playing some 2-player games against a single novice AI opponent. Even though I leave one defensive unit, I keep getting my cities conquered. However, when I build more military units, it kills my gold reserves and bankrupts me, which drastically slows down my production and gets me conquered too. It also sends my cities into disorder, even when I have temples and the cathedral wonder. I've been using the 25x25 map (since the big maps are really overwhelming and take forever to keep track of).

I would actually suggest starting with bigger maps, anyway, because smaller maps mean that you have smaller distances between nations, which means that you will definitely get conquered faster. Either that, or you could start with just one nation on novice mode. It wouldn't be as interesting I suppose, but then you would have plenty of leeway to figure out the game first. A few people before me have actually recommended that idea; it wouldn't hurt to go through some of the comments here.

First of all, cities needs to be at least nine tiles away from each other in order to establish trade routes. Secondly, you need to move your caravan using the directional buttons, otherwise the commands won't pop up. I have tried reporting it via The feedback option, but the bug is yet to be addressed. Oh and another thing, if you have an alliance with another nation, you can also set up trade routes with them and the distance between your nations can be five tiles.

I get two types of ads. One has no buttons and the only links in it are to go to the App Store and such. With those I just have to find the text that says reward granted, and then flicking right after that, it will say close video with a Question mark, And then again, and it will say you will lose your reward, and then one more time and it says close video and I double tap on that. I just have to kind of feel around the screen for it. The other kind is much simpler and when it's done, I tap somewhere in the middle of the screen and there's the image to click on that will take you to the ad, and then flick left, and that's the close button. I hope that helps.

Well, that seems to be a bug. Because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Also, Is there anyway to change the leader name from was in a game, or do I have to move the map so it can be edited?

Double tap on the nations button, then nation report and finally, double tap on the leader’s name.

Create online games and eventually your friend will join your game or vice versa. it’s little annoying though. The developer might fix this or he might not. We’ll see.

I can't seem to close any ads. When I get an ad I find where it says reward granted on the screen but then I flick and it doesn't go anywhere. And also I've tried just feeling around the screen and I can't find anything that says close video.

Description of App

+

The BC4000 APP is a turn-based strategy game. The game has an online mode, a hot seat mode and a single player mode. You take on the role of the ruler of a civilization, attempt to build an empire in competition with other civilizations. The game begins in 4000 BC, before the Bronze Age, and can last through to AD 2100 with Space Age.

+

Along with the larger tasks of exploration, warfare and diplomacy, you have to make decisions about where to build new cities, which improvements or units to build in each city, when to expand your empire by new settlers, and how to transform the land surrounding the cities for maximum benefit. From time to time your cities may be harassed by units from other nations or barbarians. You should protect borders and maintain zones of control.

+

You can gain a large advantage if your civilization is the first to learn a particular technology and put it to use in a military or other context. Since only one technology may be researched at any given time, the order in which technologies are chosen makes a considerable difference in the outcome of the game and generally reflects your preferred style of gameplay. Please carefully consider about forms of government, tax rates and research priorities.

+

You can also build Wonders of the World after obtaining the prerequisite knowledge. These wonders are important achievements of society, science, culture and defense, ranging from the Pyramids and the Great Wall in the Ancient age, to Copernicus' Observatory and Magellan's Expedition in the middle period, up to the Apollo program in the modern era. Each wonder can only be built once in the world, and requires a lot of resources to build, far more than most other city buildings or units. Wonders provide unique benefits to the controlling civilization. For example, Magellan's Expedition increases the movement rate of naval units.

+

The game can be won by conquering all other civilizations or by winning the space race by reaching the star system of Alpha Centauri.

+

The strategy logic and user interactive concept are inspired by the original Sid Meier's Civilization. Most graphics, music, map and text materials come from public domain licensed by Creative Commons License or General Public License.

The crucial thing is to enter the ad with voiceover turned off. So turn off voiceover and then press the view ad button. You can see how much time is remaining using voiceover, and when the reward is granted you must tap on the top right of your screen, again with voiceover turned off.

Let’s vote for our dr. Jianfeng Wu so his game gets this year‘s award.
+By God this developer deserves to get the award for his commitment to accessibility and all the tireless effort he has put towards this goal.
+Now is the time to give something back to him for all he has given us.

Even though the interview took place, and you can still find it on my club page on Clubhouse, it was during a time last year, where I had a lot of stuff going on. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I will upload this into a podcast episode in the next few days. Sorry for any inconveniences. I am only one-man team though, so sometimes things get lost in the shuffle.

I have reported the issue on closing ads using VoiceOver both on the developer’s email and twitter. I also asked him to consider a paid option to remove ads. Let’s see what become of it. While I do appreciate workarounds, they shouldn’t be relied upon permanently, nor should they be used as an excuse to not make improvements. The golden apple election is here, and while the good doctor will get my vote regardless of this issue, others might be put off completely by it.

To those who love the map editor like I do, you’ll soon be able to change city distances in the editor also in order to support custom cities. Me and my fellow beta testers are already enjoying this, so the public may get it soon. Now let’s live out some fantasies.

This is the only game I'm actually asking for adverts. 1 to support the developer and 2 to progress the game. Not being able to dismiss the ads easily is killing the game play exterience. It's been a while now, is it not fixable? If so, is there a functionality to let us buy it?

+

It's so adictive, but the fix is taking so long, I think I've broken the adiction which is a shame for the game.

Maybe I’m just dumb, but I only discovered recently that you can pack transports, carriers, helicopters and submarines full of units in the map editor. When you double tap on a carrier for example, you get a new set of options and loaded units is one of them. Note, this option is only available when the unit is on a tile outside of a city. Soon, the public will also be able to select the veteran level for units. Given how this game is playing like a super sandbox toy, i’ve suggested the developer allow us to select starting gold for nations, because why not? This is, and will be the first game in history as far as I know, that will allow us the freedom to live out fantasies like this. A game? A toy? An experience? The player decide. And to think I’m one of those who almost gave up on the game due to lack of understanding. now that I finally do understand it, I feel that those who doesn’t are not only missing out on a game, but also on an opportunity to build worlds and live out fantasies. For as long as this game exist, I will never ever vote for another golden apple again, unless we get to vote for two games.

I feel the same. World building is super fun. I wish a youtube video for this game could exist, as I feel that some people seriously don’t know what they’re missing. Unfortunately, Joe Biden would probably be the only one to appreciate my narrating lol. I only do videos without narration.

Now assigning units to a battle group saves you the time of moving one unit at a time.
+First assign the units you want to a battle group and then open movable units, then switch to specific battle group, then tap right top button “goto” to set destination of this group.
+Furthermore, saves and maps can be saved to iCloud.

Today, I saw that some people is already on version 1.9.0. The thing is, I’m still on 1.8.9, so for some reason, I didn’t get the new beta update. Did anyone else experienced this? If not, then I wonder why it is that I somehow fell behind? Can it be that I have been removed from the beta list?

I'd love to be able to play an online game with a friend, but right now, the mechanic to join a game created by someone else seems inaccessible. I can create online games, but neither I (nor my friend), can seem to join one. When I asked about playing with friends in the Discord, this is the response I got:

+

It’s not impossible to organize an online game with a friend. When you press the + if theres any open matches you will be put in. If this happens play the game and end the turn; then just press the + again. Eventually you will be able to choose the map; create you own game and have your friend press the +. Since theres not a lot of people playing online your friend should match with your game.
+The question is, how can I make this work with VoiceOver?

If you zoom in the map, you can move around normally without lag. The trick is to zoom enough so the lag is gone, but not so much as. for only a very small part of the map to be visible. there is a balance to be struck.

    Ballyland Magic Plus teaches young students essential skills and concepts for VoiceOver accessibility, Apple’s built-in screen reader, while they are playing a fun game!

    + +

    Join thousands of educators around the world and give your blind or visually impaired students a head-start in using an iPad. Ballyland Magic “Plus”, like the original Ballyland Magic app, teaches young students essential skills and concepts for VoiceOver accessibility, Apple’s built-in screen reader, while they are playing a fun game! Completely re-engineered, Ballyland Magic Plus offers additional features and even more learning, as well as improved interaction. The gestures incorporated in this app are: finger drag, split-tap, double tap, single finger flick right/left, and three-finger flick right/left. The popular Tap-tap song motivates even reluctant learners to successfully master the important ‘double tap’, tapping along with the rhythm. In line with the story of the cute Ballylanders who practice their ‘magic’ tricks, your student gradually builds ‘magic’ VoiceOver finger gesture skills, leading up to the Grand Finale: the Magic Show will only go ahead if the student takes charge and effectively performs the practiced gestures – a great way for you to assess a student’s progress!

    Love RSS feeds? So do we!!

    + +

    RSS feeds are a great way to follow updates on your favorite website. However, some sites set up their feeds to only show a portion of each entry, you know, to get you to click through to their actual website. We find that really annoying, and we're sure you do too.

    + +

    Which is why, unlike other RSS feed readers, that either push you into a browser (in-app or otherwise), or depend on third party text parsing services and require you to be online to fetch the full text of one article at a time (which makes it no different from having to click/tap through to a website), in lire, you get your favorite RSS feeds as they should've been. You don't need to click through to any website (though, you do still have the option to, if you really wanted). It takes your favorite partial feeds, does it's magic, and converts them in to full feeds, so you don't have to click/tap on those annoying 'Read more' or 'Continue reading' links.

    + +

    Once they're cached, you don't even need to be connected to read your full-text feeds.

    + +

    Use as a standalone feed reader or sync with any of the several services: Feedly, Feedbin, FeedHQ, The Old Reader, Inoreader, BazQux Reader, Newsblur, Feed Wrangler, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Nextcloud News, Tiny Tiny RSS.

    Sonar Islands (iOS/iPadOS, Free With In-App Purchases)

    + +
    +

    Sonar Islands is a MULTIPLAYER ONLINE game, where all relevant events happen in your ears.

    + +

    On various islands you explore and discover, seek hidden TREASURES and conquer OBSTACLES. Every new island has a special atmosphere and a different gameplay. Do your best to fortify your islands and be clever enough to take the gold from your opponents.

    + +
      +
    • Visit the ancient TEMPLE island, the ancestors built, where snakes are biting and down falling parts may block your way.
      • +
    • Take a trip to the JUNGLE island, watch abandoned lions on your way, but be aware of the tree traps, set up by the natives. You can go up, but there is no coming down.
      • +
    • The FUN FAIR island is a happy place to be. You can shoot toys coming towards you. Some carry a treasure, some carry a bomb, that's the risk.
      • +
    • The VOLCANO island is a chilly place, for some too hot, especially if you step near the lava flows. Ash and stone rain down due to the eruptions of terraforming, raise your shield to protect you.
      • +
    • In the MACHINE HALL you will meet the friendly robots from Feer, but this time you carry a stun gun to short-circuit their brains, at least for a while, till their self-repair is complete.
      • +
    • On PING island you will get a sonar device for orientation, send out a tone and the echo tells you, where to go. That’s good, because you may discover, this island is a labyrinth.
      • +
    • High up on the TREETOP island you have to deal with wind and mosquitos. The wind is really disorientating, leaves are rustling, while the mosquitos chase you. And don't fall, while balancing on the twigs.
      • +
    • On the ELECTRO island you face the invisible power of ELECTRICITY. Tesla coils sparkle round their high voltage, better shoot some metal confetti to divert the current. The nice thing here are catapult plates, they make you fly all over the island. A pity, that you don’t know where you will end up.
      • +

    Happy vacation!

    Rising from the Flames: New Life for an Old iPad

    + +

    By Paul Martz | January 13, 2022

    + +
    +

    On December 30th 2021, a wildfire incinerated nearly a thousand homes and retail establishments in Boulder County Colorado. I live a safe 8 miles from the destruction, but others were not as fortunate. I know many families who lost everything.

    + +

    My spouse and I decided to move into my father-in-law's guest suite and rent our house to one of the displaced families. Our new tenants tell a terrifying story. A police cruiser announced "get out, now!" over a loudspeaker as it drove through their neighborhood. The air was thick with smoke as they fled with other panicked families. They escaped with their smartphones, laptops, three cats, and little else. Their loss and grief is beyond words.

    + +

    For many reasons, we left our wi-fi network in place. Our tenants had nothing and needed the wi-fi an printer. I also host a web server. It made sense for me to leave my Mac Mini desktop and drop by as-needed to help them with any tech issues and perform routine server maintenance. This meant I'd need to assemble a new computing environment from what I brought to my temporary home: my iPhone SE, a Bluetooth keyboard, a pair of wired earbuds, an Aftershockz headset, my Braille display - and my fourth-generation iPad from 2012.

    + +

    Why do I still have this truly ancient iPad? A fair question. It's old, outdated, and heavy as a doorstop. It only has 16GB and won't upgrade beyond iOS 10.3.3. I kept it for the large screen, useful for trying to see photos or videos with my remaining crappy vision. At the same time, my eyesight has become so poor that I could not justify upgrading to a more recent model. It fell into disuse and I simply never got around to recycling it. So, here it is, and now I would find out if I could use this old iPad as a desktop replacement.

    + +

    I'm retired and write for a hobby. I need Zoom on my iPhone to participate in my writing groups, and Scrivener and Google Docs on my iPad to write, review, edit, and make comments. I knew how to do all this on my Mac Mini with ease. Now I would need to re-learn everything. IOS wasn't foreign to me, but using Zoom, Scrivener, and Google Docs as iOS apps would challenge me with a user experience that was very different from my Mac.

    Teach Vision Impaired Youngsters VoiceOver Skills and Concepts with the Ballyland Magic Plus app

    + +
    +

    In this podcast, Kushal Solanki gives us a walkthrough and demonstration of Ballyland Magic Plus, and iOS app that utilizes games to teach youngsters how to use VoiceOver.

    + +

    From the App Store:

    + +
    +

    Join thousands of educators around the world and give your blind or visually impaired students a head-start in using an iPad. Ballyland Magic “Plus”, like the original Ballyland Magic app, teaches young students essential skills and concepts for VoiceOver accessibility, Apple’s built-in screen reader, while they are playing a fun game! Completely re-engineered, Ballyland Magic Plus offers additional features and even more learning, as well as improved interaction. The gestures incorporated in this app are: finger drag, split-tap, double tap, single finger flick right/left, and three-finger flick right/left. The popular Tap-tap song motivates even reluctant learners to successfully master the important ‘double tap’, tapping along with the rhythm. In line with the story of the cute Ballylanders who practice their ‘magic’ tricks, your student gradually builds ‘magic’ VoiceOver finger gesture skills, leading up to the Grand Finale: the Magic Show will only go ahead if the student takes charge and effectively performs the practiced gestures – a great way for you to assess a student’s progress!

    Description of App

    +

    Start the CTMayor APP and take control. You are the Mayor and City Planner with complete authority. Be the undisputed ruler of a sophisticated real-time City Simulation. Create your own dream city from the ground up. The city may be a bustling megalopolis, lots of people, lots of cars, tall buildings: high-energy, high density living. Or it may be a small rural community, or a linked group of small communities providing slow-paced country living.

    +

    Also there are some scenarios prepared for you. Become the master of existing cities such as San Francisco, Hamburg and Bern, to solve horrible planning issues or rescue citizens from a natural disaster. If one strategy doesn't work, try another. There are a million stories in each city, and you write them.

    +

    Like a real mayor, focus on planning, layouting, budgeting and disaster rescuing, you do not need to do microtransactions like maintaining houses or factories, AI citizens manage zones themselves.

    +

    Population will increase at the end of each year. Build enough residential zones, commercial and industrial zones for them to work on. Also, make sure to lay roads or railways from residential zones to workplaces. Finally, make sure that you have a power plant either standing right next to a zone to power it up or if it's not standing directly next to the zone, build power lines from the plant to the zone. If you have many zones touching one another, you can use one power plant to power them all. It takes a few turns for all zones to power up. Good luck.

    I found it a little dull without music or sounds but that can be toggled in the settings. I am getting hang of it a lot. Is there water on each slot? I seem to have built something on one slot but I don't see what was there.

    Every time you start a new game, new maps will be generated automatically. Hopefully in the future, we will be able to edit our own maps.

    That's why I suggested that we are allowed to build our own maps, as clear land is often hard to find on computer generated maps. The developer said that it's sound like a good idea, so hopefully he will actually implement it.

    Hello, guys. I need some help starting to build a place. Every time I touch something in the map, I get a message saying that this land needs to be bulldozed first. How do I go about to do that?
    +Thank you in advance for your help.

    Note that you can't build anything on water, except for roads which will serve as bridges. That being said, you need to find clear land. Also, keep in mind that most buildings and zones needs a 3 x 3 square of clear space. You can for example, build zones over trees, at the cost of reducing The land value, however police stations can also help to increase it.

    Honestly, right now I just feel like I'm moving without knowing what to do.
    +For some reason it's not very clear to me whenever you make a move.
    +I guess I will figure it out eventually.
    +I hope so.

    When you make a move on a clear piece of land, the word clear will be replaced by the word residential, police station, fire station, Road or whatever you decided to put there at that specific position. You can build as many things you like during one turn, provided you have enough cash for it. However, in order to simulate events and activities, you will need to turn up. A great example is power plants. Building a power plant right next to a zone Will not power the zone immediately. You need to turn up at least two times for the zone itself to become powered. The first turn will power up the plant itself, while the second turn will power up the zone. For as long as you have clear land, you can build how and what ever you like, however there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Each zone obviously takes up 3 x 3 space in a square. Zones must touch each other if you wish to power multiple zones without power lines. If your zones are scattered, you will need to lay power lines between the power plant and the zone itself. You can also lay powerlines from a powered zone to an unpowered zone. I hope this will help somewhat. My biggest issue is not the gameplay, but rather the maps that are generated automatically with each new game. I often find that there is just not enough clear land for me to build on and many times, such a hindrance can really interfere with my vision of how I want my city to look like. Hopefully, we will be able to build our own maps soon.

    Hi. As a former simtower lover I'm gonna cry with the discovery of this game.
    +I'm on my first game, but it says I have 1 residential which means somewhere inside this map there is a land or something similar, but is there a way to move to the exact tile where that residential is? I find weird to move tile by tile through 1000 tiles-long map

    Hi, I find easier to play on iPad with a keyboard, it is easier to navegate through the map.

    +

    Also I have some questions that are not clear to me.

    +

    1.- How do you turn up zones withouth electricity? I always have the center tile of a zone without electricity no matter if I put a electricity zone beside the rescidential zone or whatever zone.

    +

    2.- Is it a way to hurry up the time of the game? Under settings I find that there is a way to adjust the animation but I don’t understand if it is just a visual setting or if it has something to do with the time of the game. I find borring that time passes eternal in this game so that things start to happen.

    +

    3.- When I use the bulldoser sometimes I find that if I use it in one rescidential tile it demolishes all the zone, but now on my ipad I use it on a industrial zone and it just demolishes one tile at the time, am I wrong or some times it demolishes the whole zone and some times tile by tile?
    +4.- are you still motivated by the game after some days of usage or do you think as me that the game needs more action?

    When you put a power plant next to the zone, the zone will power up after two turns. The game no longer works in real time. It is now turn based so we can keep up with the speed. Sometimes, the bulldozer destroys only part of a zone, so make sure to bulldoze all tiles. I guess action will depend on difficulty level, city size and activity.

    hi, thanks for the answers. Could you please explain what do you mean by 2 turns? each movement counts as a turn? and how long it takes to move one year forward? I'm still stocked in January 1900.

    You have to double tap on the planning done button in order to make a turn to the next month. Building things doesn't make turns. Everything is at a standstill until you decide to make turns. Making turns is equivalent to simulating activities. You can build as many things as you like in just one turn, but once you are satisfied with the things you've built, it is time to watch the action. Just double tap on the planning button and wait for your zones to power up and for population to grow. Population will increase after each year.

    You often said, after a year the population grows, but after how much planning do I have to click to really get it? Once planning is complete, it jumps to the next month, but how many times do I have to click? And by 2 turns he means clicking on planning completed twice below, so two days, so to speak, two months.

    12 turns should do it, provided the following conditions are met. Make sure you have enough residential, commercial and industrial zones. Also, make sure that there is enough road or railways between residential and workplaces. Finally, when clicking the planning done button, make sure to close any pop-ups that may occur first before continuing. So in short, 12 turns should do it. Like I said, you can plan as much as you like before using the planning done button, as long as you have enough cash for it.

    I could have imagined that, one year equals twelve months equals twelve clicks on planning complete. Thank you very much! I think the game is really super cool, it really reminds me of SimCity! The only thing that needs to be done are the VoiceOver suggestions that I emailed you. As I said, it's your choice if you accept it. Still nice
