Does Earth Empires Mobile work on your phone or other similar device? Answer Required.

Yes - 85.7%; 60 Responses
No - 2.9%; 2 Responses
Don't Know - 11.4%; 8 Responses




What type of phone do you have?
Android and iPhones are the most prevalent responses

If you want all the responses, I'll send them to you in very raw form; you have been warned.

62 people responded, 8 skipped the question. On reflection, with no way to connect this answer to the previous question, this was not a very valuable question.



Who is your carrier? (Answer not required)
Verizon seems to have the plurality win.

Again, I'll send you the results in raw form if you'd like them; also again, this question would be more valuable if it could be connected to the previous questions.

45 people responded, 25 skipped the question.



What, if any, error messages have you seen while trying to use Earth Empires Mobile?

Most answers were none, but a few listed having to delete cookies between switching betweens servers. All answers available on request.

More answers to come later. I want to get off here for a little bit.

ha, i didn't realise there was a survey! i only use my phone

:)

Neither did I!

With respect to the cookie thing, the backend stuff I'm working on ought to fix most of that, as we won't be using suburls as apparently half the internet can't handle that, despite the fact that I *think* we're using it exactly how it was intended....

there is a mobile version of earth?!?!?!?

YEs, works quiet well

It's the reason I came back =P I can play on my phone from work! Even boxcar works pretty quickly on it.

boxcar hammers my phone, but mobile EE works just great

What specifically can be done to improve Earth Empires Mobile?
1. Make an app!
2. Everything is more difficult to do on a mobile due to soft keyboard. It is not the game layout's fault.
3. Scrap the current EE mobile and launch a user friendly APP thats built base on standard phone screen size for easier viewing and navigating.
4. im happy with it
5. In some way make it easier to launch attacks from the mobile site especially in war.
6. check the ads on diff mobile devices before running them and make going to bonus sites easier
7. change the bloody navigation somehow, don't make it dropdown and somewhere off to the side.
8. Would like the sell all button to work when placing goods on the market.
9. Show weapons/mil strat % on war page Show (offensive) allies military on war page Show intel allies spies on spy page Save other spy ops Save attacks data Save (failed spy data) (can help to determine target spies level) Set bonus preference so that all bonuses earnes go toward specified bonus
10. Show reset start and finish dates on mobile portal. And ability to access your previous rankings and profile.
11. weapons tech % displayed on the war room screen as its difficult to tab on mobile
12. All of my dead countries show on the login on FFA. These need to be ordered better.
13. If possible, make the ALL buttons work for buying goods.
14. Add a switch somewhere to display the game in a regular browser window. While the mobile works, I'd MUCH rather play it in the regular browser window.
15. Make a repeat attack button
16. yo momma make it betta
17. Sometimes forgets my username, but not pass (which makes no sense!)
18. make the toggle from forum to play bigger
19. More naked girls
20. No more drop-down menus
21. Only thing I'd complain about is running several countries on FFA. Phones are, naturally, slower to play from than computers. It's ok for running one country, but I wouldn't even try to run more than 2 FFA countries simultaneously from a phone.
22. I think certain screens should link together as I tend to play on the non mobile site as find the menu time consuming I think captcha on mobile is horrid too
23. Remove banner picture at the top at login. Add tap to autofill but amount to mobile templates.
24. the captcha almost always gets you killed, i know devs say its disabled when being attacked, but its glitchy and doesnt always work that way. the lag time of a few seconds can get a country killed and through my personal experience HAS gotten several countries killed. disabling captcha from mobile devices would be preferable but they woudlnt do it i think maybe because of bots?
25. You aren't asking the right questions.
26. idk
27. Release all answers.
28. make an app.
29. i like it just fine the drop down menu gets the fluff hard
30. fix the fact that sometimes when exploring it will explore twice (with one click)
31. run my countries for me!!

My comment actually appear in here.. I guess thats cause only 31 people voted and not of merit ? :D

Looking at the suggestions, some of them aren't valid:


14. Add a switch somewhere to display the game in a regular browser window. While the mobile works, I'd MUCH rather play it in the regular browser window.

You can already turn off the mobile template in the global options.


20. No more drop-down menus

You can turn off drop-down menus in the global options. It will display a flat list of links instead.


23. Remove banner picture at the top at login

Pang did not want to remove it at the login screen, I asked before, he removed it from in-country though.


24. the captcha almost always gets you killed, i know devs say its disabled when being attacked, but its glitchy and doesnt always work that way. the lag time of a few seconds can get a country killed and through my personal experience HAS gotten several countries killed. disabling captcha from mobile devices would be preferable but they woudlnt do it i think maybe because of bots?

I believe Forgotten's country died due to a captcha during a kill run a couple of days ago.

For the last question, all comments were posted here, not everyone answered the question.

Likewise.

bah humbug. my PSP isn't a supported platform.
