Anybody up for a quick game from time to time. Maybe we could start an informal iOS Carcassonne league.
If you're interested post your Carcassonne "Add a friend link" or PM me your email.
Add me as a friend: carcassonne:///f/2de0a62692a3d125
-
Just added you :) Do you have all expansions?
-
I have all the expansions. My go to is River, Inns and Traders. I'm not a huge fan of the Princess and Dragon expansions but I'll play it every now and then.
-
Hi Duncan, I have the iOS app but your friend request didn't work. It says it has either expired or been used by someone else, so it looks like the link works one time only.
Edit: Here is my link (my iOS name is Ultimo Dragón): carcassonne:///f/afdb3ee54c533abd

Ah Jungleboy! ...so you re-installed the app? If you want to play, check the PM I sent you back in May.
-
My nick is <Quevy>
Add me :)

Yes, I eventually caved in. I think it was because I needed some practice for the World Cup.

Done!

Played against Duncan90 (JiveCat in the game) and it was a tight game. Very good player!

If we start playing against each other on iOS I think we should decide whether to use the Crosses and Remaining Tiles feature. I always disable it but I see the crosses on Jéré's screenshot. If people want to use it, that's OK, but I think all players in a game should have the same setting to make it fair.
-
This option applies to both players. It is set for the game, not something players turn on/off individually.
I'm fine with that also! It's good that you mention it so if I create a game to play against you, I will disable that (for both of us).

Ahh, good to know. It would be good to have this ability (for farm hints for example) in JCloisterZone as well.

Quevy and I played our first iOS game tonight using just the base game ... and we had a draw! 112 points each.

Looks like you had a great game, well done to both of you. No surprise to see all those gaps in the middle of the board! Was there a lot of meeple trapping going on by any chance? >:D

I imagine a rematch is in order? Hopefully the option to play against non-random opponents will be coming to the Android version soon...

Since there's at least four of you on the forums who have the iOS app (and probably more if you asked further afield) how about some sort of Carcassonne Central iOS league?

Another potential signature for you: "Unhappy unless organising leagues." :green-meeple:

Hey, I never offered to organise it for you! If I had an iSomething it may be a different story though...

Great game yesterday with Quevy and Jungleboy(ElJuglar):

And yes Dan, if we could have our own thread in The League forum that would be brilliant. I don't think we are enough at the moment to call it a proper league but who knows, over time the number of players will grow and perhaps then we'll organise a tournament of some sort. I propose to manage it, as you don't own an iThing. For now, I think it might resemble a repository where members would exchange their usernames or eventually their emails via private messages until we reach the critical mass.

There wasn't a league at all when I first suggested the idea, but everyone came out of the woodwork pretty quickly once it became apparent that something was going to happen! I'd suggest that starting a thread on the Carcassonne Central League forum and seeing who else is up for it would be a good place to start. Fortunately you won't have to face the problem of how you're actually going to play as that's already been decided since it's specifically for the iOS app. Then give it a week or so for people to respond, or just see what happens. Even if there's only 5 or 6 of you it would still be worthwhile...
Whatever you end up using it for, I think this would be the best way to go for the time being. :)

The Winter Edition is supposed to be coming shortly to iOS. When that happens, it would be nice to have a Winter Edition league/tournament during the northern hemisphere winter.
-
Hey guys - I play on iOS all the time and would love some new friends to play with :)
My name is nanoanno (big surprise, I know).
-
Hi! Just sent you a private message.
-
Careful nanoanno! Jéré is a very good player! :)
-
I'm in for multiplayer games too, anytime. I canceled our game with Quevy as he does not seem to be available at the moment.
That tournament you proposed sounds fun. Maybe mid-january or february?
-
Uh-oh :o
I like a good challenge though and enjoy playing even when I am losing, so I think we will be okay.
I'm in for multiplayer games as well.
(I also have all of the expansions and plan on purchasing Winter Edition when it releases soon too. Forgot to mention that earlier.)

Hi, my nick in gamecenter: MerMickra.
I guess, I have the highest ELO out there at the moment. You can try me...

Hi there!
What is gamecenter? Do you use JCloisterZone at all? Where are you from?

Sorry what is ELO Electric Light Orchestra? if so you probably want to play Blue :)

Get with the program Gerry. Everyone knows that ELO stands for Elementary Lemon Obliteration!

'ELO 'ELO 'ELO What's all this then, nothing to see here, please move along
-

Gamecenter is the iOS games app so this discussion should be in the iOS thread. ELO is a running tally for each player based on the games that they have played (i.e. you gain a certain number of points for winning a game - the exact number depends on how many points you and your opponent(s) have - and you lose points if you lose a game).

I've decided to go on another 'iOS Carcassonne detox' for a while (3+ months), so I've deleted the app for now. I'm sure I'll be back sooner or later. :green-meeple:

UPDATE: A typo in my GC name has been corrected below. Also, the invite link below has been used and is no longer active; please invite me directly via GC name or reply here requesting another invite link.
Feel free to add me for iOS games. I have all expansions and am 5p1yn7r on GameCenter.

Since I now have an Apple device to use, I have access to the Carcassonne iOS app (finally)!
My nickname is - danisthirty :)

Hey Jere, thanks for the game. I don’t mind admitting that I got a bit lucky towards the end but sometimes that’s just how it goes and I’ve certainly been in your shoes plenty of times. :)
Hopefully I will be able to justify spending the money on some/ all of the expansions soon, then we can get some bigger games going on. For the meantime though, if you’d like to play another basic game I’d be happy to have a rematch?
Thanks again for the iPod anyway. Now that I have access to iOS Carcassonne I’ve had requests from several people on Twitter so I’ve got a lot of people to play and a lot to prove in the process. Also, my wife and I got woken up by an unnecessarily creepy voice saying “Your turn” in the middle of the night too! That was funny, but only once we’d realised what it was... :))

Hahaha. I recommend to turn that voice off in Settings > Notifications > Carcassonne (turn off Sounds there).

Giving you some of my ELO points was also part of the deal ;) Seriously I didn't mind loosing at all. It was an interesting morning: playing Carcassonne while eating breakfast, brushing my teeth and running to the train station... and finish the game in public transportation on my way to work. :) (not saying it was an excuse for loosing!)
I will never refuse a rematch! Anytime!

Somebody has found the hidden achievement from the winter edition/double base set?
-
Can somebody please tell me how to disable the "give all the tiles I desperately need to my opponent" option. Likewise for the "give my opponent all the tiles he needs". Also I think I have the "when to get tiles I need (if at all)" option stuck on "as soon as it's too late to use them". Can anybody help with this?
-
Really reminds me this conversation on twitter...
"I can't find any setting" Hahaha :D

Haha, that's funny! Something similar happened to me some time ago. Last two tiles, 50 % chance to draw the tile, that would make me steel a meadow worth 50 points and win the game. I drew the other one and finished the game on the fourth place. XD
-
In my game with Jere I needed an rrxx tile to join 2 farmers onto the main farm to tie it for an equal share in the 30 points that were going to him. With 8 tiles left to play, 4 of them would have done it for me and although I would still have lost it would have been by just 13 points. However, he drew all 4 of the tiles I needed and I ended up losing by a much wider margin...
I agree with the guy on Twitter, I think it's fixed... C:-)

Oh even worse, poor you! Yes, the case, that he mentions doesn't seem very "random". 8)

I wonder where to add friend or copy that url link of yours to send a friend request.
-
To invite new people I'd recommend to do the following:
-first press "Add new friend via email..."
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/03/9da4f24d0515085202170ea3a7d0e95c.jpg)
-it will generate the following email:
(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/03/c5c90d541b7f39524635a287b7fe6776.jpg)
You don't actually have to send this email, you could simply copy the link and send it via private message. It is not recommended to post the link directly on the forum if you want to invite a specific person because it can be used only once. First user to click on it will become your Carcassonne friend but link won't work anymore for other people.
-
Hey,
I usually use my iPad quite often aswell for some games of Carcassonne, so what would be the best way for me to get you guys in my friendlist? Do I just ask for your GC names or give out mine?
If so, my GC name is yall89
-
Sent you a link via PM.
-
Jéré, it said the link wasn't valid/used already :(
I went through the thread and added every GC name manually, so feel free to accept it! (Mine's Yall89)
-
Strange, I sent only to you... I added you on GC.

Link found. Thanks!

Okay, so I just started playing some casual solo games of this over the past week, and I have won precisely once. I believe there are four reasons for this: (1) I am not paying enough attention, (2) the Hard AI is actually pretty good, (3) I am not used to 5 player games, and (4) the Weird AI is completely and utterly illogical. That last reason really bugs me because the Weird AI literally will place tiles anywhere and claim anything, often causing incompleteable boxes for no apparent reason! So annoying. Anyway, I've got to get better at this. It's hurting my ego.

Have all of your games been against 4 opponents? For what it's worth, I find it quite hard to win against 3 opponents and have never even tried against more than this. The AI isn't too hard to beat in a head to head though (or rather, head to CPU I suppose). I had a great game against Count this morning and managed to trap all of his meeples for a grand total of 38 points with 50 tiles left to place. That did wonders for my ego! :)

New to the forum and addicted to iOS/macOS version of game. Own and play all expansions- trying to learn the new German Cathedrals expansion.
Add me on game center to play "jared sr"
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
I can't help I'm afraid, I'm stuck on the terrible Android implementation of Carcassonne.
Hopefully, someone from the forum will be able to look you up and set up a game.
Good Luck :(y) :(y)
