I have been working on the Android version of the game, it's all good, I am just waiting Google to review the build and I'll post an event with the play store link :)

Good day everyone !

I hope you are doing great. I am not too bad myself. Last couple of hours have been quite rough due to a fix for the mobile version.

As the title suggests, the game is now available on mobile / tablets (AppStore) at a price of 6.99USD !

I have been less active on the desktop version because I was wrapping up the mobile version :)

What does the mobile version include ? Everything ! Except the mod manager / steam workshop.
Unit editor ? Yes, for tweaking stats only.
Tile editor ? Yes, for tweaking stats only.
Map editor ? YES, for anything you want !

Otherwise, you have full access to all campaigns, and all custom maps I made !
If being asked to bring over to mobile some nice maps from the workshop, I totally can do that, so don't be afraid :D

I hope you will be happy with this news, I myself am really excited about it, and really happy I will be able to play some OC in the bus in the morning when going to school or in the train, or in the plane when going back home !


About android, I don't know if or when the game will be ported. I tried yesterday, but the platform is complex and I am unsure to be willing to spend that much time and effort just to port it on there.
So everything I can say is for now, it's not sure at all.

Happy playing to ya'll !

- Change : To unselect a unit, just left click on it back again.

- Fix : Paratroopers drop when no units under them wouldn’t drop correctly.
- Fix : Maps couldn’t be loaded into the game from the workshop.
- Fix : Potential damage would not show custom flag.

Sorry I'm not working as hard as before on the base game, I'm focusing on bringing it onto iOS / iPadOS and Mac app store.

Then will work on Android.
