Full-featured game
The story and gameplay is deeply designed. But you can tell its not Designed for iOS in particular:
(1) The "yes" is on the left. Im used to it being on the right on iOS, so I kept letting ships go when I wanted to attack them.
(2) Its hard to tap on the menu for other ships and towns when they keep moving.
(3) Ive been awarded only 3 GameCenter achievements, though I accomplished most of the rest (I completed all the quests and retired as Governor).
Works great on iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. Some minor bugs like daughters disappearing as they talk to you. After playing for about 2 hours, it starts getting buggier (no more music, or sword clash sound effect continuing long after battle is over), and sometimes crashes afterwards. But what kind of RAM do you expect from a phone? I just close the app completely and restart. It auto-saves before you start any endeavour, so that hasnt been a major problem.
