@Arci It does fix some issues on the price of creating other issues. Desktop version has the following problems on Ipad:
- city names can't be changed
- windows can't be moved
- in island map view it is not possible to navigate (hold and drag) and some cities are behind the tools and can't be selected from map, the context menu can't be reached (players have to use BB codes in a message, notes, forum... to interact with such cities instead of 'go to city..' or try to use the context menu in world map view for support, attack, trade etc. - zoom in and find the right colored dot...)
to be able to navigate on map, look around on neighbor islands is essential part of the game to find targets, friendly cities etc.
on PC this is the hidden city:
True Story - when I have incoming attacks, also to a similar city overnight, it goes down like this:
- load Grepolis on Safari / Ipad
- trying to find which cities are under attack
- I can't click on overview, city on city list - damn this is not the right version!!!
- reload & request desktop site
- a new world selection site loads.... ok this is not what I want to see...
- tap on back to be able to select my world
- I can finally see the movements (screenshot to share them), lets go to the cities to dodge my units...
- oh this city is under the right side menu
- sigh I can't select it!!! /in panic.... /
- I select it from city list and dodge my units /shivering/. (if there's any left due to the extra steps take lot of time)
- I try to send long term support.. but again I can't select the city on map....
I don't think it is just me who used the map / context menu for almost every interaction with cities and you could probably ask why not load the App instead -to get most information and share it in short time it is the best to screenshot troop movements with actual landing times...
I use Puffin browser now instead of loading desktop site, everything works with it so far, but I hope there will be a real fix, because mainstream players just take it granted that a 'browser game' should work on all browsers as it did before and won't experiment with new browsers, desktop view...unless you tell them what to do.
