Sil 1.3 on android

[xorzac]

I've tried tons of apps and can't mimic Linux, Mac, or Windows. Linux needs to be rooted which is extremely complicated, I can't find an easy way to do it.

There is no exe to apk converter which actually works. I can't find any thing similar for Mac.

Any suggestions? I really want to give 1.3 a go!

OS X, Linux desktop, Android and Windows are all very different systems which need custom code to make things run on each. The only thing that comes close to an emulator is Wine, which lets you run some Windows apps on Linux systems. The only way you'll get a new version of Sil is getting someone to compile angdroid with Sil 1.3.

There are plenty of Linux emulators for Android, I just can't get them to work.

Well that would give me 1.2.1, a start!

Man, Angdroid Variants with Sil 1.3 would change the way I go to the bathroom.

OK idiot question: how do you download this? Never used Google drive.

Right-click and pick save. 1.2.1 working for me on my ancient Android phone.

You will need to go into Settings|Security or similar and allow installation from unknown sources if you haven't already done so.

Good luck. I want to see what you can do with the newer versions. Set a bar to aim at, & all that.

I figured it out.

Disappointed unwavering voice is gone - that makes 1 voice/turn songs even MORE worthless!

Well my first goal is to crush the current best ladder score for 1.2. . 11,740 turns.

I think a slightly modified version of my last build should work (more melee/evasion, two handed). I didn't even bother to put it on the ladder - it was too absurd. Like 5260 turns to obliterate morgoth. I think 6300 or so total. Somewhat depends on drops too - angrist totally changed my last build, for the better.

I'm going for under 10k. I'm also considering adding the 1.3 text files at some point - won't totally give me 1.3 but I'd get those changes at least.

So far so good. 942 XP game turn 510. A bit behind my usual pace - not finding as many orcs and no white wolves.

1.2.1 actually seems EASIER so far. I slaughtered cat warriors when I temp hit 600. At 2k turns! I don't even have the goodies yet for abilities or weapons. Heavy armor seems much more common shallower (helps a lot!). Considering only luthien for an art and not even a good sword (LS feorianians best one), it's been a near cake walk except the charging orcs early.

Angrist and a deathblade are on this 650 - this might be a new #1 ladder lol. I just don't see 1.2.1 being any harder, as what got nerfed (edit) I dont really use, and I never fight many uniques or find many artifacts (I think the XP reduction was silly - NO reason to fight escort uniques now!!!!!!!).

I will add more suggested changes for 1.4 once I obliterate morgoth.

I'm looking forward to hearing about the V fight
