We have no reviews on the Amazon App Store. Odd.
I assume this means that no one is playing it on Amazon.
Skipping updating the game on Amazon App Store will save me time.
/me puts on flame resistant suit.

Does stand to wonder why google play has all the attention. Do both sites have similar download numbers?
Once you get away from your hardcore fanbase you start playing the numbers. It could be a reflection of which site is more popular with this kind of game, or a reflection of more droid users to kindle users. GP comes standard with all droid phones i believe. You have to hunt down and download amazon store on them.
If you have significantly lower numbers with amazon its probably just the trend, and plan your marketing accordingly. At least thats how I see it.

dayan -  Cory is very well aware of the numbers. Amazon is a small market in comparison to Google Play. He is poking our Amazon crowd in the ribs, asking, "Please review our game" - because we know you (you're the ones doing the "Choco Crowbar Rain Dance" right now) and there are more than three of you! It hurts to see 200 reviews on Google Play and 3 on Amazon. No wonder updates go so slow

Sorry lol. I used to work with market research a bit, I guess I still tend to throw sermons around.

I concur, I dont normally review apps unless theyre horrendous so it has taken some getting used to to write good reviews. Doesn't mean I can't however and I am an amazon player, so I guess I should step up.
Edit: reviewed

No wonder updates go so slow That pain when you use "slow" as an adverb - 20 English professors just died |

@lixx235 - the only way to undo the wrong is to leave a review on Amazon |

We know Amazon also has a different review structure and client interface for the user lacks direct prompting. They use an e-mail feedback loop that, for the most part, fails to generate reviews. Anyway, mobile marketing is a complex beast and even spending 30 hours a week on it I'm still very bad at it. Best I can do is beg on the forum |

Well you have a review now. Just on RPG though as I'm a bit low at the moment as we just bought a new PC.

The reviews on Free are just as valuable as the paid version.
In some cases, more valuable and VERY easy to leave -- they don't cost anything =)

My review on Amazon ...
Fellow Kindle users it runs and auto-updates no problems. New versions are coming out faster than Amazon can post them.
They aren't just housekeeping bug fixes either. Each new version is adding more depth and detail, the thing is morphing all the time. I really can't keep up with the Trese Brothers. I'm playing this and Heroes of Steel, there are 5 other TB games I own but don't have time to play, there are just so many hours in a day.
If I were recommending the game to a friend. I'd say just buy it and play, it is too big to explain I'm still trying to get a handle on it. You will not master this one overnight! We are talking months and if the versions keep coming out this fast who knows how long you will end up playing, Skip the free version you get allot more goodies with the Elite.
My suspicions have been confirmed. The Trese Brothers have no need of sleep or food. This proves they are alien visitors who now unwittingly have divulged information about their home worlds by hiding it in a game. They are everywhere at the same time, twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Playing their games. Always available on more than one Forum, and now Steam for the HoS PC version. Their games run on more than 5,000 different devices. I think they may even be sending subliminal mind control messages through small screens that keep me playing into the wee hours. To do this they must have more than 4 limbs and possibly two heads as one cranium could not support two brains. We have only seen the photos they have posted of themselves but does anyone really know for sure what they look like?
For the sake of the Amazon review I should say something technical about the game so here goes..
As the Alien races gutted the core worlds, the great Exodus began.
You must lead a tiny fragment of humanity to create a new civilization from the ashes of the old.
- Rediscover over 100 lost technologies and create limitless combinations.
- Variable Map size play in a region of space as large or small as you like.
- Five different difficulty game settings from easy, to realistic, to nearly impossible challenges.
- Colonize Star systems using a combination of 3 Syndicates and 3 Royal Houses
- As more refugees pour in you must build shelters, mines, spice dens, Palaces,
and a large variety of other improvements for your Empire to survive then flourish.
- Robust Politics. The core is gone forever but old rivalries remain. Use espionage
to quell wars, establish trade, and enhance research.
- Design and build hundreds of different ships to prepare for the next Alien onslaught.
- Fight one or more Alien races bent on the eradication of humanity. They will relentlessly search the galaxy to find their hated and feared enemy.
- Explore strange anomalies among the stars to advance your civilization.
Fascinating game play, with so many features to choose from each game can be a unique experience.
Will you be the one to lead humanity back to greatness, or watch the last flicker extinguished by victorious Alien hordes?
Just one more 5 star hit for the Trese Brothers.
