After barely getting by the easiest level, I bumped it up a notch and did better. I think in this case Automa was easier than Automalein because extra power leeching got me off to a better start, so I could spend the late rounds focusing on points instead playing catchup with my economy.

PI + TS + M again for round 1.
This time I went for Science, then terraforming, then AI at the end.

Wow. ... Just wow. Congratulations on a monster score. I think that's the highest ever in one of the solo challenges. I suspect it won't be beaten for some time.
Or will it?
Score lists updated.

Hi, thanks for posting - but sorry, you've not played on the right set-up, you need to have selected the 'Automa of the month (Geodens)' button after Random map. The seed, which will appear in the player scoring panel, will be 16776720. Good luck!
