Good news, AOC II has been released in Google Play. In my country's currency, it costs $5.
I'm gonna make a duplicate announcement in the Random Thread in case members miss it here.

Is it coming out on iOS? Or no news yet? Not sure. I found out about the Google Play release by accident when I checked the dev's Google Play page today and found it. |

Anyone used to the mechanics yet?
I have a few questions:
1. How is it possible to lose provinces to a neighbour when no war occured?
In one post tutorial attempt, I played as Yemen and held 4 provinces before I suddenly lost 3 of them (2 to Saudi Arabia and 1 to Oman).
2. When do you choose the most optimal time to attack?
After failed attempts at playing, I got to play as Cambodia and wanted to wage war on Vietnam to wipe it out. As soon as I could, I declared war and immediately attacked. The enemy had a thousand more troops and invaded me soon after.
3. Invest or Research, which way is better for tech lvl development because I do both which is very costly.

I don't know, did you have a core on those provinces? 2. First save some (a lot) money and recruits troops, set your economy on war settings, meaning the minimal settings for economy and population. 3. First fix your Economy and then increase your Population. Don't have an army outside of war. |

Since I'm still not used to the game, I played an "easy" scenario: American Civil War. I conquered both the neutrals and the Confederate states, turned the Confederate into a vassal before annexing it outright. Yet, I do not have a victory screen or get ejected to main menu. Now at Turn 260+, with minimum 65% province stability for all states, very low revolutionary risk and all all 215 provinces conquered. Did I do something wrong? NetherFreek, what are your thoughts? |

Ehm, did you conquer hawaii and alaska? If so, probably some bug happened. |

All provinces in Alaska are marked as "Wasteland" while Hawaii is marked as "Sea". Not sure if this has to do with me because this is my first win.   Is it possible that "Just One More Turn Please" option after using "Surrender" caused this or players can keep playing after winning? |

Some things I found out as I play mini scenarios in the game. I hope these will help you out and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong:
1. Using Ultimatum on a vassal isn't a guaranteed diplomatic move. I am currently playing the Second Boer War as Transvaal and have waged many wars on the British colony until it finally accepted one of my ultimatum.
2. Successive wars may yield some territory. In the same game, I start earning new territories with each war. It may be an effect of pressing "Take All" during peace negotiations.
3. "Form Union" is almost guaranteed unlikely to occur, never has any civilisation accepted this but they are open to being annexed through wars or accepting my ultimatum.
4. Diplomatic relationships can be cut, no matter how friendly you are with them. Supposedly, the Natalie and Orange Republics are my friends and we should be fighting the British colony, but they decided to sever diplomatic relationship with me when I declared the first war against the British.
5. Having alliances is very good. Not only can you pass through each other's territory, you can defeat an enemy civilisation more easily together. However, you need very good relationship to achieve an alliance and your ally's conquests of your enemies can reduce your negotiating power (less stars).
6. Conquering all enemy land is the best for very beneficial peace negotiations. Want some reparations or the defeated to be your vassal? Conquer all their lands then use "Take All" to do so.
7. This needs confirmation, but there is no victory screen. I met the win criteria for 2 scenarios (Domination - Conquer 100% of all provinces) and upon doing so, the game shrinks the map and allows unlimited turns. (My American Civil War lasted 500+ turns even after annexing the Confederation before I deleted it)
8. A "surprise war" is possible. Spam Insults, then declare war on the same turn. This allows you to immediately invade your enemy. Of course, you need an army first.
9. Do not underestimate the AI. The AI can somehow rally extra large amounts of troops as you conquer them. A comparison is the late President Lincoln's original desired number of troops drafted before the war VS his total number of drafted troops during the Civil War. You may think that the enemy is being destroyed as you sweep through it (more for larger civilisations), but they may suddenly raise 2 or 3 times your original amount of troops and fight back.
10. Taking and holding the enemy's capital will NOT lead to capitulation no matter the duration which you hold it. I once occupied an enemy capital for 10 turns straight and the only difference is that the enemy has a reduced income.

What stinks is that there is no way to download these really cool maps people have made without being on a pc. And being as I'm on an android phone it upsets me to see us left out.

Nobunaga Oda , I was actually successfull and found a way to make countys be in a Union. You have to have good relations and join their Alliance. After that declare war on the smallest nation you find and it's about a 75-90% of forming a union. I played as Prussian in the Victorian Era and Successfully conquered all of the Prussian stats except one. Then I declared war on France and United with Blandenburg.

I also found even cooler findings. If you want territory that is in another country make sure that there is atleast a 1% chance of rebals and the AI will surprisingly sell the territory at a cheap price.
