This is a BIG update with many improvements.
A new game mode is also introduced for fast turns (3 min).
Please update your AppStore ratings of the game accordingly.

= GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS =
- Set Music to Off and listen to external music on your device while playing UniWar.
- Music and SFX options now available.

= ONLINE PLAY IMPROVEMENT =
- New "QUICK PLAY" 3-minute mode for online games.
- Players can now be skipped in online matches when their time runs out. Players skipped twice consecutively can be removed on their next turn when time runs out. Skipped players still earn credits.
- Updated Rated/Unrated settings: Rated games now require all races to be available and fog of war enabled. This will prevent players abusing race advantages.
- Map fixes to make them more balanced.
- Team chat now available for team matches.
- Chats now have a time stamp based on your time zone.
- The colored dots in online games and while joining a game now indicate if the player is currently online.
- View a player's profile while within a game by touching the username.
- More information on the joinable games: it now displays the time duration and how long ago the game was created. View the details of a joinable game to see the date it was created.
- Added values to units to indicate the number of surrounding buried units.

= CAMPAIGN MODE IMPROVEMENTS =
- Bot difficulty levels in both Campaign and Solo modes.
- Improved bot movement performance in Campaign/Solo modes.

Awesome! Can't wait. I think the skipping of players but allowing them to remain in the game is a good call.

Sounds like a great update! Looking forward having all races available for Rated Games. Although, I do like to try to beat the Titans on Land Bridge

those updates sound good but there are several common suggestions i do not see on that list: previewing a map before joining a game online and improved online bots (problems: not going when its their turn, joining a zillion games and not taking any turns). the ability to practice all of the online maps (including multiplayer maps) by yourself or with some friends would also be a welcome update and improve online play.

I am concerned about the skipped turns feature.. If, for example, I join a 10min game that does not immediately start - it starts when I am inactive - do my turns get skipped 3 times and then I lose points because the 3-rounds rule is already over?

gaarder, good point. This applies to 3-min and 1-hour games as well. Wondering if developers have thought of this. I'm sticking to usual 12-hour games until this is answered.

The rule for skipping a player is: twice consecutively, then remove on next turn. In gaarder's example, if you joined a game and the host starts it when you are not online you can be skipped in Round 1 and 2 and then be removed in Round 3. So Skip, Skip, Kick. That is within 3 rounds so no score adjustment.

Looking forward to this! Hopefully AAPL won't reject it for some stupid reason.

skipping is a lot better than just removing a player because if the timer runs out and you still want the player to stay in the game just skip the person instead of kicking the player out of the game.
