eKow updates coming this week

By the end of this week the last eKow update will roll out, this update will focus on Warpath army lists:

• updated the Forgefathers army list (as Nov 2011)
  
• updated the Marauder army list (as Nov 2011)
• added the Corporation army list

I'll let you know as soon as the update is available on the Android Market.

eKow 1.5 just released

a new version of eKow is available at the Android Market, this new release has some major changes:

• its' now possible to create army lists for Warpath (beta), the supported factions are Forge fathers and Marauders
• the same old features are available for Warpath too, so you can create and export your army lists like you did for KoW
  
• there is some change in the interface since I had to add the equipments but the overall look is still the same
  

There are still some open points I'm going to fix with next release:

• you are not forced to choose the mandatory equipment, sometimes the rules tells that you "must buy" an equipment but eKow saves your unit even if you don't choose the mandatory equipment
• in the unit detail page if you rotate the screen as soon as the orientation changes to landscape every unsaved change you did is lost
• some graphical change here and there

If you find a major issue somewere please report the problem using the link to the right, for more information about Warpath take a look at Mantic Games website.

scheduled release: Mon 4 Jul

I've been updating eKow in order to make him work with the brand new game system Warpath, of course I've been using the info from the alpha test on Beasts of war and because of that I will have to make some changes once the beta is out (even though I'm non expecting any big change).

Once the beta will be out this week end (check Mantic site for info!) I'm going to test eKow with the new army lists/rules and hopefully I will be able to release it on the Android market by Monday July 4th 2011.

The new data model I designed is a little bit different from the one used for Kings of War army lists so there might be some hiccups, the advantage is that everything is much more flexible and I will be able to add new game systems and army lists much more quickly in future.

edit: I'm still performing some tests and I won't be able to publish the update today, I'm pushing the release to July 6th

eKoW expanded for Warpath

I'm working on an expanded version of eKoW that will make possible to build Warpath's army lists. I will release it as soon as Warpath will go on public beta. (right now is just available as a private alpha test here at BoW)
