  1. The bug where your unlocked countries reset hit me two times and I had to reinstall the game twice, I am so glad it’s been fixed! Also on the iPhone 7 (the phone I use) sometimes overheats while playing the game, I do not know whether it’s the game not being optimized well for the phone or the fact that the iPhone 7 is more than six years old now…

  2. Dividing Ivory Coast and Liberia into separate provinces would be a good idea for continuity and consistency. Also, in my save files for Liberia, my archers pass through my tribal hunters sometimes after winning battles. Same goes for Zulu Kingdom, as far as I’ve played. New countries and campaigns would be nice ideas for 0.3, such as Dahomey, Baden, Belgium, and Republic of China would work in different campaigns and even in the current mode.

  3. I would suggest adding a new timezone of sorts. You got the 1600’s and 1700’s right now, why not get to 1800’s and 1900’s? Because I like that there are plenty of countryballs already, but we still should have other periods. Maybe even the ability to form unions or commonwealth. Heck, even custom countryballs if we would go that far! Signed, Reiterness

  4. Quisiera q metieran mas paises como argentina peru bolivia paraguay gran colombia paises de latam y tambien mas artillería y mas tipos de soldados en unos paises y q paises de europa si puedan conquistar otros continentes y q aiga provincias en el mar q se pueda pelear en barcos porfa

  5. Ich würde gerne ein neues System haben indem man wenn ein Krieg zuende ist eine Friedensverhandlung durchführen kann und dann das Gebiet unter den steigern des Krieges verteilen kann

  6. Please add different times, because currently you have the 1600s and 1700s, now I’d prefer to play times like 1800s and 1900s, you could even put the 2000s if you have enough time.

  7. all I want is a map creator/scenario creator or a countryball creator. I also think that you should be able to make destroyed nations revivable,
