This version addresses a number of quirks in the display of text on some devices where the text was incomplete. It also attempts to improve the initial tutorial when you first start playing.
My thanks to those individuals in the wonderful Apple Arcade community that have helped me identify these issues. World of Hex isn't a part of that service, however there are a lot of great games there you might like to try out in between your bouts of solar system conquest.
4.0.1

* For those The Expanse™ fans out there wondering why the Ring Gate is lacking definition, it was suffering a system failure and should be back to it's former glory now.
* Some people were being told over and over about the new achievements added earlier this year. Now we know they are great, but really, we don't need to harp on about it so much.

I've been hard at work, listening to feedback, and realising that people like to feel a sense of achievement. This major update tries to help with that by adding new Game Center Achievements. Some are easy to attain, some are quite hard. All are attainable. If you've been playing for a while, then where possible any achievements that the game can determine you have already earned will be applied (let us know if they aren't). The harder ones, like taking control, or conquering a tile or world will not be retroactively applied; that's in the too hard basket (even for me) for now; the rest should be pretty automatic.
Another thing I've done in response to feedback is add a little more smarts into the move validation so that if you try a move that would just result in it being a wasted move (i.e., you attempt to take a cell that would be immediately overpowered), the move will be rejected.
Goodness, no matter how nice you players are, the code just seems to have problems letting some of you enjoy yourselves. A bug fix was added at the last minute for a reasonably old bug causing the game to crash for some special, though unfortunate players.
And finally, because it seems to be standard these days, bug fixes and improvements.

The World of Hex has expanded! Did you know that there are colonies all over the solar system?
This is a huge update. Whilst the premise of the game remains, now you have an opportunity to explore and stake a claim beyond the confines of Earth.
For fans of The Expanse™, you also have an opportunity to add some elements from the story to the game. And if this goes well, well, you may see more worlds to colonise in the future.

Wow, over 10,000 games so far and going strong! Thank you for playing!
This update provides a bit of welcome relief from some overenthusiastic notifications. It also improves the cloud interface so that it should be a little more efficient now.
If you are enjoying World of Hex, please take a moment to share it with your friends and family. Let them enjoy the fun too!
1.0.3
2017-05-29
This release addresses some user interface issues that some people have reported. It a bit more intuitive now, so navigating your way around should be easier.
It also addresses the fact that some players have been so keen; they've created an overpopulation problem in some areas of the world. Play will now be prevented in these areas for a time, allowing those populations to evolve naturally.
There are some great new features coming, affording you opportunities to expand your strategies.
Please, if you are enjoying World of Hex, take the time to review and rate the game in the store. This game will get more interesting as other players join in.

Fixed a couple of bugs that I'd missed, the main one being:
* For people that prefer to listen to their own music, World of Hex should now allow that to happen. My bad.
Thanks so much for playing! It's amazing to see how many games have been played and how competitive you all are.
Keep those reviews coming! It helps to let others know about the game.

I hope you've been enjoying World of Hex. I thought I'd give you a small update just to improve the experience a little.
What have I been up to?
* For people not signed into iCloud when they start the app, I've improved the message shown so that it is a little easier to understand now.
* On the wonderful iPhone 7 and 7+, when you're playing you'll feel a gentle tap when each of your opponents make a move. Great when the game is muted.
I'll continue to update World of Hex as suggestions come in and I am able to add them. If you think of something you'd like added, let me know.
And of course, if you like World of Hex, please take a moment to review it in the store.
