I have over 2000 games on vanilla Hellas and over 1000 on random tile Hellas, so yeah.
And what's your point exactly?

I had something similar with my PL draws here

I am not saying you have 2 but it's far natural for ecoline to take the free ocean and gain access to 8 heats and get the two plants rebate and teleport later than most other corps besides credicor. Ecoline need heat and Hellas give her free heat and safer landlord via cultivator. The plant tag for diversifier can't be ignored neither.
Anyday in the life of a luna is a good day no matter the map.
Honestly when I play ecoline I don't care too much about plant prod, it's the heat that I am going for the whole game. Energizer is also cool to go for, Hellas is a fantastic place to be for ecoline 4 of the MS are bangers with one safe award in cultivator. Those are all free tempos no less.

There is a mini expansion with a bunch of milestones and awards, you can draw 5 of each at random and put them on your board. Makes every game different!PleaseAGB1 wrote: ↑31 July 2025, 12:39 I wonder how long it will be until someone (maybe the folks at the T Mars heroku app) have a randomly generated map. I guess milestones and awards could be random too? Then the skill ceiling would be raised?
BGA / Frylexius, give me some commission if you make a ton of money off this idea.

Without specific cards in your opener or gen 2 draft energizer is just not happening. Without some extra plants you arent getting polar before gen 4-5. Every decent opponent will contest polar if possible with their setup, and early fund some contractor/magnate. The game isn't played solo.RoyalRook wrote: ↑03 August 2025, 03:34 I am not saying you have 2 but it's far natural for ecoline to take the free ocean and gain access to 8 heats and get the two plants rebate and teleport later than most other corps besides credicor.

You wanna pick up an ocean and 8 heat as ecoline? That's 5 greeneries with 0 plant/MC rebates by going near oceans, you're gonna be poor and develop very slowly as subsequent greeneries are delayed without plant rebates.
Hellas is by far ecoline's worst map and it isn't even close. [insert comment about my 3k+ games on hellas and bga/steam ranking]
