You CAN translate them, but you cannot make it work the same way the boardgame does.Let´s think about it:
Placing the hexes.
A Seasons Card popping up after every turn.
A card that shows you after selecting 2 influence to spend for allying with a Neutral that you´ve got nothing.
Activating an area then, moving units towards it.
Using hidden passage(tactics card) to pass through a mountain.
Heroes supporting.
Choosing which of your units to take dmg.
Influence bids.
This is not like eclipse, where you choose an action,resolve an action,pass.
This is more like playing a story.
I would love to play it online,trust me. But there is no way this will end up being an app.
There are just too many things to take on not-so-wide screen and put them all together. It can be translated as a video-game but not as video-boardgame. It is just too much. And there are games that are fairly similar to this(Heroes,King´s Bounty etc.)
I don´t want to offend anyone, as I already said I would love that to happen, but it´s something very different from all other games(runewars).
You should better hope for a Vassal app! :)
I remember seeing a thread some time ago where someone asked if there is any online version of Sid Meier´s Civilization The Boardgame...:)
