I am completely blind. I use Appel's built in screen reader VoiceOver. Most of the game is accessible but the turf map has a huge problem. Hopping is extremely hard to do and a result someone has capped me out of 2 cities and is trying to kick me out of a third. I can't hop away so I have to just sit here and take it. I am posting this because some players are trying to help me but it's hard for them to understand why I can't do what they suggest me to do so I wanted to explain. I also have submitted feedback but got no reply. For anyone who is interested you will find my feedback below. Reading it will also help you better understand what's going on.

Hi. i am a blind TurfWars player and I enjoy playing.. Over all the game works very good with VoiceOver. However, there are a few problems the biggest one being with the turf map. Hopping is hard to do with VoiceOver. Once I find the turf that I want to start hopping from and view it on the map and go to claim turf I have to keep looking for open spots and double tapping on each one to try to figure out how far away they are and in what direction from the turf I started out from. It would be better if I could get this information without having to check each open spot I find, then return to the map and look for another spot if the one I found is not where I want to go. Also, it always gives me distance and direction from my current location not from my starting turf. This makes it hard to know if I have hopped the maximum distance from my starting turf or if I am just building right beside the starting turf. It's also hard to tell if I am hopping where I want to go or hopping around in circles. I have a few

ideas on how to make this better. Instead of each spot being named with random letters and numbers, use the letters and numbers to indicate direction and distance. So for example, 1MS would be 1 meter south, 4MNE would be 4 meters northeast, 30MW would be 30 meters west, 2KME would be 2 kilometers east and so on. Also, make a setting to set if direction and distance readings are based off the current location or to specify a turf to give readings from.

I would like to see them reintroduce iOS 6 and iOS 7 support, and introduce Android 4.0, Windows Phone, and Windows XP, Vista, 8.1, and 10 and MacOS X (possibly Ubuntu too)'support. That would allow it to be more accessible to people with cheap or older phones and people who only have a PC still

I was thinking a web version would also be nice but this is getting off topic.
