Hello Generals,
today is a good day for us and hopefully for you too, since the Call of War client for mobile phones is being released today to Frontline pioneers
We are still heavily developing right now and it will change a lot over the next days and weeks when we add missing features, fix bugs and polish the usability.
There are a couple of remarks which are good to know in advance:
1) We will eventually implement all features of the desktop client also in mobile, but there are a couple of bigger / important features which are not yet included:
- Support for languages other than English
- Newspaper (coming really soon)
- Coalitions
- Build Queue
- Alliances
- Creating new games (joining works already)
- Ranking and player stats
- PMs
- Optimized Shop
- Account settings
These will all arrive soon but are just not in the initial version yet.
2) We need your feedback!
We tried very hard to give you a good experience already in the initial version, but a few of the things we've implemented are still experimental and a few can still be polished and adjusted. So please explicitly tell us what you think about things like:
- Performance
- Touch interaction with armies
- Touch interaction with provinces
- Do you find the information you need?
- Do things behave the way you expect (e.g. opening / closing of windows & popups, UI swiping, zooming, etc.)
Where to to report feedback?
When giving feedback, please include the information of what
- device,
- operating system version and
- browser version
you are using. If in doubt, please use the "Report bug" button in the client, it will collect that information and attach it to your report.
You can also report feedback here in the beta forum. General feedback like on usability etc. you can add to this thread, if you report bugs, please either use the button in the game or create new posts here in the fronti forum, which you please clearly mark as "mobile client" bugs.
So how do I log in to the mobile client?
- You need to be (or become) a frontline pioneer (see news on callofwar.com for submitting applications).
- You need to login in your normal mobile browser on callofwar.com with your iOS or Android phone and the mobile client will load for you.
If you do get the old client you know from desktop on your phone, please report this to us including the information what device you tried. You can still switch to the mobile client, once you try to log in to a game from the desktop version and click the "Switch to mobile" button. Your device will remember the setting until you switch back.
To say it explicitly: You do not need to use your device's App store, you simply open callofwar.com in your mobile browser and log in like always.
Switching between mobile and desktop version on a device is possible through the button on the loading screen.
Thank you and have fun playing!
