    Battle for Wesnoth and Civ Rev are good places to start. Battle for Wesnoth is far better though

    Thanks! I'll probably get Battle for Wesnoth and Red Conquest. Also, I used to play Galcon lite to death, but never got around to buying the full version. How does Galcon compare to games like Red Conquest?

    I'd say very little.

    Galcon is mostly about watching the overall flow of things, and moving units around quickly.

    Red Conquest is more of an RTS, where you have to build units and use them effectively.

    Both are excellent games, BTW (as is Galcon Labs, which should have been part of Galcon IMHO, but at a buck apiece I don't mind. :))

    Sorry this response is kinda late. But to shoot the with the Bazooka (Default weapon) Also you need to do is move the crosshair with your finger, hold down the fire button, and keep an eye on the wind

    Sure the AI is kinda hard but if you can hide your worms in good spots the AI shouldn't be able to hit you.

    I don't really recommend this to people who are new to the series cause the tend not to like it. However I have played most of the previous worms games which is probably why I enjoyed it so much.

    Thanks to try help. You are right I always intend play worms and could even have buy one on some device but never played it.

    Keep fire button pressed? That's the trick I didn't see? Mmm I think I tried, ha well probably not. Now the problem is to get back the game from the street at bottom of the window. :)

    EDIT: Hide your worms? You mean you can move more than one worm at each turn?

    Still yet to find an addicting TBS-RPG like Fire Emblem. I've tried most TBS for iDevice, they might be good for one campaign, but there usually isn't any story, and the games are much too simple (basically just two stats, attack and defense). Battle for Wesnoth is the most complex one right now but it still lacks something that I can't describe that would make it as addicting as Fire Emblem. The other ones like UniWar, Mecha Wars and Rogue Planet are not detailed and complex enough, feels more like a board game. Highborn has the look of Fire Emblem, but even after the update it's still extremely laggy, much less complex than Wesnoth, and I just don't like the attempt at humor in the dialogue, seems very childish.
    Maybe Nintendo will allow I.S. to release Fire Emblem for iDevice once they're happy with DS sales. -.-';

    There is War of Eustrath due to come out sometime in the summer, and also Final Fantasy: Tactics coming out in September. Those are the closest you'll get to a Fire Emblem experience, really.

    Also, I wouldn't have any hopes of Nintendo letting anyone release Fire Emblem for iDevice, because, well, it's Nintendo.

    I dislike Nintendo as well but I don't see how it could hurt their business to release the older Fire Emblems, ie the ones for Gameboy. I mean I don't think anyone is interested in buying a Gameboy and Gameboy games at this moment since no one sells it. I remember I played FE8 Sacred Stones for hundreds of hours, maxing everyone's stats in multiple playthroughs, and I'm pretty sure there are countless people who did that here as well, so porting that (which would take no effort for a company like Nintendo) onto iPhone/iTouch/iPad and selling it for like $9.99 is basically just profit.

    It's not about disliking Nintendo or anything. It's just that they hate Apple. That's just the way things are, I'm afraid.

    So the general consensus is battle for wesnoth, however I already have that and found it was too complicated and already beat rogue planet and uni war is too boring now... what should I get?

    I would say try BfW again - the tutorial levels are really not complicated.

    However, if not, I would say: Highborn, Civilization Revolution or Transformers G1.

    Nintendo sees Apple and the iDevices as competition to their DS line. Putting Fire Emblem on the iThings would be like putting it on the PSP. It's never, ever, ever going to happen. As much as I wish it would...

    That's why I said older FE games that are for gameboy only. No one sells gameboy at this moment so why would it hurt their business? -.-'; Of course they're not going to port Radiant Dawn over...

    They're still Nintendo exclusive. Could you ever see a Mario game being released on iDevices, despite the fact that a few "can't be bought anymore"? Nintendo doesn't want to do anything that could eat into their DS sales.

    What if they release those FE games onto iPod, and then later decide to release them as remakes or ports via DS-Ware or similar? They've just shot themselves in the foot, nobody will buy a DS to play Fire Emblem when they can get it on iPod instead. They don't want to support their competition in any way at all.

    What? Highborn IS a TBS

    Just because U cannot play it... its an aweful game? Wow! :eek:
    If I were U.... I'd say I suck @ it :rolleyes:

    Worms is a gr8 game but it is not really a turn based strategy, its a tactical turn based artillery.


    U R THE LEGEND, no one else tried Rogue planet or cared to mention till here?
    Tht was my 1st iPod game I completed out of the 2000+ games

    U cannot! its not called turn based for nothing!

    Sorry about the whining up there, U really are new to the game :)
