Your challenge for October is to play the Xenos against the automa of the month, the Terrans, on the FIXED map. Check that the seed in the automa score panel is 17277840. It is important that you read the Rules section for more details, especially if the seed is not 17277840.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this challenge is for you. The goal is simple: have fun and get a high score in solo mode. Thanks to the BGA set-up, you can easily compare your score, watch replays of games and learn different ways of playing a faction. (There's more guidance on how to view replays at/near the end of the May 2023 challenge.) Play serenely at your leisure: there is no timer pressure!
We had a new winner for the September solo challenge: many congratulations to ThorAvatahar on topping the scores, with a big shout-out to Mallumän for setting a very competitive target. A big 'thank you' goes to the other players who shared their games.
There's elite rank for the top 5 players with winning games and cadet rank for everyone else.
1st step: Create a new table. Select Training or Friendly mode and FIXED map. Choose 1 player/Solo and click on Start game. Select the red box Automa of the month (Terrans).
2nd step: Select the difficulty you think you can handle.
3rd step: Select the faction Xenos. Check that the seed is 17277840 (in the player score panel). If it isn't, start again using the alternative starting method (below).
4th step: Play the game. Post your score(s), mentioning the chosen difficulty (see the format below).
Alternative starting method: Start the game with FIXED map selected >> Choose the Terrans faction card (as you would for a normal game) Set the custom seed (17277840 for this challenge), which is next to the heading 'Choose Automa Difficulty Level', and Select the Automa difficulty >> Choose Xenos.
Players usually insert the link of their game (you can find it on your profile – tab (x) games played) and mention which openings, tech tracks and other actions have been crucial for them (e.g. RL+2M. Economy, aiming for advanced tech tile on AI).
Ideally, use this format: YourNickname Score vs AutomaLevel Score – LinkOfTheGame – Techs focus – YourComment (e.g.: Marcus Aurelius 222 vs Ultoma 165 – www.boardgamearena.com/game=12345 – focus on Science and Terraforming until mid-game, with aim of taking advanced tile on Terraforming).
And don't forget to have fun!
