This has happened to me repeatedly for a while now. (As in: I kind of stopped playing Uniwar a long time ago because it would no longer let me play with my friends. I just recently tried again and it's still happening).

The basic experience is this:

* Start new custom game
* (Select a map, etc.)
* Add player #2: pick a friend.
* Add player #3: Bot
* Add player #4, 5, 6: Bot.
* Start game.
* Wait a few seconds...

EXPECTED RESULT: Game is ready to go with friend + a bunch of bots.

ACTUAL RESULT: Friend & bots are removed, all other slots fill up with strangers, other players.

iPad (mini, gen 3-ish?) iOS 11.4. Uniwar 1.13.5

I kind-a miss playing Uniwar every day. It would be nice to have it back, again.

Cant speak to the bots, but your friend probably declined the invite.

No, that's the thing -- we always [used to; it's broken now] invite each other and look forward to games. My friend NEVER GOT the invite.

*AND* he was removed (along with all bots) & replaced with strangers WITHIN MINUTES of game creation.

This is a bug. Honest.

...Just now, I got a notification on my device that I've been invited but, on launching Uniwar, no battle was there.

FYI, we tried 2 more times (each inviting once, while iMessaging each other about progress) with same results then, on the 3rd try, everything worked as expected.

I'm now playing my 1st Uniwar game in a year or two and very excited. Yay!

(Don't know if you changed something or if it's just coincidence but, if it works again, I'll be back to playing daily.

I know its not helpful or what you want to hear, but the vast majority (>90% of the time) when very obscure bugs come up like this it is an error on the players side, not the computer. ive invited friends over 100x, and have never ever had that problem.

One possible issue is you might not have the most updated version?

I remember something like that happening to me now that you mention it. I have been invited to games that don't appear when I click the notification, and there was no evidence that I had been removed from the game (I have the notification for that enabled). Maybe I was removed and just didn't get the notification, however, there is a possibility that I was simply invited to the game by someone experiencing a similar difficulty to you.

I personally think this issue should be brought up in public chat and looked into.

It's possible that the issue is device and/or version related
