Issues with Slay for UIQ

Howdy,

could not believe my eyes when i saw the headline on the my-symbian.com website "Slay for UIQ".... I immediately rushed over and downloaded the trial

However there seems to be some issues with the rules. As I recall (and from double checking the online rules), a peasant can defend the 6 hex's around itself from other peasants. But in the UIQ version, something is wrong. Peasants are able to capture a hex right next to an opposing peasant (and on some occassions right next to a Capital)

Here you can see the first moves, Player is Green... and after the AI plays you can see they've stolen 2 hex's both of which should have been protected by the Capital and the Peasant (area to watch circled in red) :

Now I join the territories and get an extra peasant, But the AI players just cut in between my 2 peasants and the dream of world domination is over:

Are these rule changes intentional? or are there a few teething problems with the UIQ version?

regards,
HCP

Thanks for spotting that HCP!

My friend, who did the conversion for UIQ, has sent me an update and that's now live on this website at the same location:

http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/download/Slay.sis

and this is now version 1.01.003

Could you let me know if that solves the problem?

Unfortunately, the answer is no... while they no longer steal my hex's on the first move, it still happens at other points in the game:

Here you can see that they are also stealing from each other... so they're not just picking on me

However, I can no longer steal a hex guarded by a peasant, so that seems to be fixed... just makes it a bit unfair now

finally, a note you may want to pass to the developer... can you please include an option during installation to specify the install drive (ie. C: or D: )... at present it seems to install by default to the main memory of the phone (C: ) which is a bit of an issue for those of us with P800's or P900's due to limited main memory

regards,
HCP
