Re: Differentiating between habitat and species diversity icons on conservation project cards: a hack/workaround/solutio

I am always looking for ways to make this better/stronger/faster/more absorbent. Here's CSS that restores the original species diversity icon as well: .arknova-icon.icon-all-continents { background: url(https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/themereleases/current/games/arknova/240410-1532/img/icons.png) ...

Re: Adversary skipped my turn on completed game

I know it's frustrating to have this happen. Part of competitive play is being able to complete your moves in the allotted time, which in this case was at 1:33 per turn with a maximum time bank of 4 minutes. That's quite a bit of time, really, even for a complex turn. That being said, outside of are...

Re: Player let timer ran out on their first turn and game ended

Well it seems like it's an issue that's being exploited mainly because if you look at the other players history they've done it like I would say at least 10 times since the beginning of the month it's really weird and I don't know maybe they didn't do it on purpose but it seems like they potentiall...

Re: Differentiating between habitat and species diversity icons on conservation project cards: a hack/workaround/solutio

I made some small changes to the CSS that fix a minor visual image (Africa getting cutoff slightly at the bottom) and make the card look a bit closer to the original asset. Images and CSS updated in post 0.

Re: Is conceding considered poor form?

Just finish the game, for crying out loud! The world doesn’t revolve around you! It doesn't revolve around your opponent, either. In Ark Nova, it is possible to be in a position where, mathematically, you simply cannot win. In a 2p game, it is acceptable to resign when there is no path to victory. ...

Differentiating between habitat and species diversity icons on conservation project cards: a hack/workaround/solution

If you are like me--you are getting old, and your eyes don't work like they used to, and you just can't tell the difference between the habitat and species diversity icons on a small or even modest screen--or if you are just frustrated in general that they are practically indistinguishable from one ...

Re: Option to create a game without Silverlake

Silverlake is great for any strategy, plus you never have to worry about rock/water. On top of that there are 2x cards that if you get either (archaeologist or hydrologist), you basically win the game, no other map has that.
Playing with the alternate maps mitigates these wild imbalances.

Re: Build on water and rock card interaction

In a similar vein, if you build over the observation tower on map 1/1a, the restaurant on map 5/5a, or the gates on map 2/2a, you no longer gain the benefits they provide.

Re: Favorite Strategy

Some day my "no animals, only sponsors" strategy will pan out. If everything goes just right, you can cross in just 50 or 60 turns. Edit: I did some math, and if you play on Observation Tower, lean into research icons, and follow up with rock or water icons, you can cross in under 40 turns...

Re: New design for Habitat Diversity not clear?

+1 to this. The new diversity icons are a garbage fire. Even on a laptop screen I have to zoom in to figure out which is which.
