Over in r/miniswap I have a big trade posting including a large lot of GA, enough to play a good deal of choices.

Help me move the lot. Trade me any 40k or make an offer.

Hello! I recently got the Cabals of the Onyx expansion as a gift, after some research I ordered the base set as well(arriving today!) And I already have the app(seems to be working just fine). I was wondering what expansions you all recommend to buy?(and does anyone know where to find an Ashmogh Colossus? No-one seems to be selling one)

So, i ordered this game off of ebay from a seller who had the kickstarter version and it came with everything and some additional figures. The issue is, is that the stylus itself is registered and i can't figure out a way to reset it. Even pressing the factory reset option doesn't clear the profile so I can't set a new code.

Is it possible to reset the device, or do i need to brute force my way through (or just buy a new copy of it if the seller themselves dont know)?

I’ve got a PC if there’s a browser version of the game, but seems like the tech may just be too old?

If so, maybe I’ll just cannibalize the box for the minis.

Ok, first, few tips for new people:

• top button is for turning the stylus on and off (light blinks red)
• pressing all three buttons resets it (light blins purple)
• batteries are rechargeable (that's what the micro USB port is for), they can also be replaced if necessary (they are standard AAAs)

But we are going to need more fixes as the stylus will inevitably break down. Did anyone run into some problems that you had fixed? There's a know issue with the styluses not connecting to some devices (for old ones, it's the lack of Bluetooth 4th gen Low Energy support, IIRC, but apparently the styluses also dislike new devices for an unknown reason).

Here's a description of another problem that just rendered one of my two styluses dead: it is not responding to button presses except the pressing the power button makes the blue light appear (holding it keeps the light, as soon as I stop holding it the light goes out, other buttons do nothing, power off or reset don't do anything - the red/purple lights are not appearing). Charging the stylus makes it show only blue light (never green)... I tried replacing batteries, also no luck.

If you have any useful information, do post it here (or better at BGG https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1939747/stylus-issues-fix-here since IIRC reddit locks the threads after a few months/year or so).

Finally got my wife to play

hi all- i used to be an Emissary for Golem Arcana. I've got a TON of golems, map packs, styluseseses (stylii?), etc.

I almost threw everything out the other day but thought I'd look around online to see if there was any news and stumbled on this sub, seems like some people know how to get it running again.

I saw the posts about running it through something called apkpure... I'm only moderately computer savvy so would someone mind writing up an Idiot's Guide to GA?

I'm willing to try and find a basic android tablet if that's what it takes to play this awesome game again, but would need a tutorial on getting it running. Thanks so much in advance!

I can't login to my account so I can't play anything anymore :( temporary unavailable it said all time.

I looked around and saw hints of using BlueStacks, but no API files. Does anyone have the regular API file that someone could use in BlueStacks or would I have to use the API launcher? If so, could I do that through BlueStacks (Sorry, new to Android emulation). Thanks!

Honestly, I'm solidly impressed and saddened to see this never worked out. I feel like the idea is sound, but the implementation would be better made open source and using QR codes or similar so that the game doesn't die.

I've created two armies for a two player game but I can't find them. My setup currently includes Durani and Gudanna golems, and also tile sets 1 and 3.

To keep it simple, I'm only listing the golems and total APV:

Durani Army - 1225 APV

Vigilant Sentinel, Growling Phalanx, Blazing Darvish, Jeweled Harpy, Winged Preserver, Fire Ram, Jagara Colossus

Gudanna Army - 1305 APV

Sand Lion, Dune Viper, Devil Djinn, Demon Lash, Grappeling Death, Blood Channeler, Valkali Colossus

Note: I haven't added any relics because I'm trying to play around with knights first before adding another layer.

After creating the armies, I go to battle->start game->select a battle/scenario->select player->select army (no army)

I've played around with the APV and other settings, but I still can't find them.

1. Am I missing a step or is the setup wrong?

2. Also, is there a way to balance both APVs, so that they're similar (i.e.:Durani 1000 and Gudanna 1000)? I think I read there is a way to do this, but I can't find the steps (or maybe I misunderstood).

Let me know if you need more detials. I'd appreciate the help.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I use the Fire 7 Tablet and can play the standard games on it without issue. I just can't find the armies after I've created them.

Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a way to play online matches?

I'm trying to find an emulator to run the app but am having no luck. Can anyone list the APV values of all the golems and ancients for me? That would make it playable without the app, but I can't find that info anywhere online.

Is there any way to get the app on Mac? I've been messing around with the .xapk files and emulators and have had no luck.

Hey gamers! I've been getting into Golem Arcana and having a blast. But when my friends and I were getting things and figuring everything out, we did see a lot of confusion out there related to what's up with Golem Arcana. So I decided to make this post so as people wander around the internet they might find it.

Without Further Ado:

State of the game

IOS: Doesn't work (Confirmation needed)

Android: Most everything works. You can make an account, make armies, add styluses, and play 1v1 - 4v4 and any other 8 player combo. Scenarios work.

Known issues:

Cannot buy anything with Talons. You can't get Talons anymore, so HBS reduced the price of everything you were able to buy with them to 0. That's awesome and all, but you need to authenticate to their purchasing server to get access to the items you buy this way, and that server is gone. So if you see a knight or anything else pop up that says it costs 0 Talons, don't try and buy it, it'll lock up the game.

Where to purchase items:

E-bay is always a good place to snag some items, but the stock there isn't really impressive. People don't seem to be letting any of the more rare items go.

Hills wholesale gaming has a pretty bad rep around the internet, but I just made an order through them on 6/7/2018, and it got to my house on 6/8/2018. I didn't ask for overnight shipping. Also, everything was factory packaged, no items missing.

If anyone could help out with my "Things to do" that would be awesome. I'll be periodically updating this post as I hear back from HBS, other people, and with any information added in the thread. Happy gaming!

Things to do:

Figure out how to make relic cards or find a source of them.

Try and get source code to app to help future proof game.

Try and figure out anything to do with the buying knights.

Create list of all items.

Thanks to the board game forum, I bought this yesterday, after heavy googling, I got it working.

You get the xapk here: https://m.apkpure.com/golem-arcana/com.harebrainedschemes.golemarcana

And you use this app to install: https://m.apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon/download?from=how-to-install

I was able to run through the tutorial, but haven't really explored beyond that, since I just have the base set.

There was talk of community maintaining the app, or possibly make a new one?

Would HBS update the app if enough people complained? I think it's kinda crap not to even keep the app running.

I was wondering if there are any reliable places to get all of the expansions?

Also, do is the Tile Expansion #1 the first one to buy or is it the one included in the base game?

between picking this game up for 8 bucks at my local Ollie's and tracking down the app, and looking over a pretty good app-less version of the game; I have become pretty well hooked on this series. Was wondering if anyone knew of a complete list of all the pieces and packs that they released as I could not find one on the website?

I invested In this game a ton, have 40 or so of the Golems, and took a hiatus as got busy with kids and such. Son is three now so I got out all the Golems to show him, and thought it would be the perfect game since the app does the rules crunching... find out from this sub that it doesn’t work anymore.... sadness

I was like thats a good deal for a one off game. Too bad it doesn't work at all... Thats crazy a game can do that. I feel like mansions of madness might go that way one day too

Can't play it without the application.

So uh.... Just wasted my money?

Gonna email HBS and see if they can provide an offline version of it or just the source code. Will let y'all know how it goes.

App is no longer on play store and downloading 1.3 version hangs on contacting server and goes no farther. Is there any way to bypass this to use the app or if not any links to play manually?

A friend picked up a copy of the base game and it seemed fun once we got it working. Found out the app only worked on Android after trying iOS.

If we can find expansions cheap out there does this work? How does more than 2 players work?

Recently picked up the game (at a discount) at a games show, I knew it was a defunct Kickstarter project and no longer supported but the (required) app was still on the App Store and seemed to launch ok. However, I find that you cannot load any of the pre-made scenarios, they give a load error. Tried creating my own scenario. While it seemed I could create a scenario, there is a problem with the army builder. I tried building an army of 3 golems, but when I would go back to review the army only two golems would be listed. To make matters worse, when you then opt to start a battle, you can select your custom scenario, but when you try to add an army, there seems no option to actually select and save the army for the player.

So basically unplayable at the moment.

Think I had read somewhere that the code hard been given to an independent developer so maybe there is some hope for the future. Although I wouldn't hold my breath.

Game and all the expansion models now moved to the garage, where they will live until the next tidy up and without an app update will end up in the trash. Disappointing as it looks like an interesting game.

I just tried to reinstall the app on my iPad, but was met with an error message (something to the effect that it wasn't available anymore). Having a bit of a look online it looks like there have been issues & it might not be supported anymore?

Is there anyway I can get the app back or is there another way to play the game (like printed rules)?

Edit: Looks like android devices still work. Can anyone confirm there aren't any issues with the android versions functionality? If it's running fine then I'll probably pick a tablet up...

Hey folks. I'm in the Boston area, and have a 40-unit collection, mostly built for Durani/Urugal armies.

I'd love to be able to get a match together every so often (maybe once or twice a year?) just to keep this rather enjoyable game alive.

As an aside, I just ordered Ashmogh from Karl and have been having a hard time adding it to Armies in my app - I'm using a gen1 iPad Mini with the latest update. Ashmogh just looks blank after trying to add. My login still works and all my armies/scenarios are there. However, after the most recent update it looks like the armies got a yellow exclamation on them, and when I open them, it gives me an error that golem/relics/ancients in the army no longer exist and it wipes most stuff out.

No problem, but the problem with Ashmogh seems to be happening to other golems, too. Click 'add', and the box is empty, can't add knights or ancients because the lists are empty.

Anyone else had this problem and fixed it before I try wiping the entire app out and reinstalling?
