I have decided to re-boot the Gaia Project solo challenge, picking up where montybojangles left off previously.
The idea with the solo challenge is for all participants to play with the same faction against the same automa with the same board setup, and to compare scores and strategies.
This month's challenge:
Play the Terrans against the automa of the month, the Xenos.
Use game seed 17723664. Have fun and see how high you can score.
Rules:
All game scores submitted must be played with seed 17723664, with "random map" setup, and as the Terrans faction against the Xenos automa.
You can play as many times as you want to try and get a higher score and to try different strategies.
This is for fun - there is no prize.
After your game please come back to this thread and post your score, the automa you played against, a link to your game, and any comments about strategy.
For example:
creakinglemon (120) vs. Automa (114)
https://boardgamearena.com/9/gaiaprojec ... =813977925
Planned on focusing on economy and science, but made some miscalculations early on and had to scramble to get through. Failed to go up navigation soon enough and had no source of QIC so wasn't able to get my gaiaformer out every round. Was also unable to take advantage of booster tile special actions due to lack of planning. The automa took 2 ore power action on first move of round which I was planning on doing, I should have had a back-up plan here. Was fighting for green planets with the automa throughout the game, with the automa getting 1 more than me in the end. Maxed out on terraforming track (not planned, late in game) and economy track. Next time I would definitely focus on navigation early on.
How to start a game with the custom seed:
Start a solo game of Gaia Project using "Random Map" game setup (NOT fixed or variable):
Click "Start now solo"
Click "Go to Game"
Choose Xenos on the Automa selection page. (Do not click "Automa of the month" or "Automa of the week")
Click "Confirm"
On the "Select Automa difficulty level" page click "set custom seed":
In the box that pops up enter the number 17723664:
Click "Confirm"
This step ensures we are all playing with the same board setup and same automa deck
Choose automa difficulty. If you are a beginner or unsure what difficulty to choose, use "Automa":
If you want more of a challenge choose "Automachtig" (more challenging), "Ultoma" (even more chalenging), or "Alptrauma" (most challenging)
Chose the faction "Terrans":
Click confirm
Check that you are playing with the correct seed (in the top right of the screen, under the automa's score):
You are ready to play.
After your game come back to this thread and post your score.
