Yes sorry if i was unclear. here is what i did
1. downloaded app on my iphone
2. looked to sync my iphone and ipad, but clicked link to gamecenter on my phone unknowing of the proper process.3
3. deleted the app on my phone.
4. redownloaded the app and did the tutorial different with wind power instead of coal.
5. clicked link to gamecenter and verified gamecenter version was the first tutorial i did on my phone.
6. deleted the app again and all the gamecenter data from my phone.
7. got on my iPad and went to link to gamecenter and it asked if I wanted to download gamecenter version and lose the current version,
Losing my ipad game is what I dont want to do. I dont know if i can recover from this mistake to ever play on both devices with my game of choice, but that is my goal. I i cannot and I lose my ipad game I will probably not wish to restart the game. Also, i'm assuming that my backed up version of the game is the tutorial game if I ever need to restore my ipad for any reason.
