Post by Marcus Aurelius »

Congratulations to the 3 winners of the October challenge. UnusualMeerkat reached the 200 points (awesome game by the way). rundragon16 and aymaliev reached 180 points (gg to them) and three 170 points. Despite many attempts I failed to reach that level.

It is time to start the November challenge. I am excited to discover the Itars !

Rules :
1st step: start a game with 1 player (training mode), fixed map. Select automa of the month (Firaks).
2nd step: select the difficulty you want.
3rd step: select the faction Itars. Play the game.
4rd step: post your score(s) below, mention the chosen difficulty.
Optional: insert the link of the game (you can find it on your profile – tab (x) games played. Copy/paste the link of your game(s).
Optional: Comment your results.

I will update the thread each week.

Initial speech :
Ladies and gentlemen,
The time is come to start The challenge of one of the best solo boardgame ever conceived. Thanks to the work of Mogri, we have now the opportunity to play solo game with the same setup during a whole month or week. Maybe you are aware that there is a similar challenge for the physical version of the game. But BoardGameArena provides us a unique tool that increases the possibilities to improve ourselves by sharing our entire game. Everyone will be able to compete for the best score but above all to learn from each other from turn 1 to the end. I repeat: with the same setup! Given the nature of the game, its complexity, the opportunity is unique. It’s up to you to take advantage of this extraordinary tool. Whatever your level at Gaia is, I can only encourage you to participate, share your game(s) and ask for help if needed.

Thanks for posting to the news feed, thought I’d give it a shot. Didn’t have too long so wasn’t able to plan everything out fully.

First try:
Me 179 - 217 Alptrauma

Ok maybe that mode is too hard! Will notch it down and come back if I can improve on my score.

Cautionary tale: check the challenge settings before starting (see below):
My first attempt at a monthly challenge.
Itars 213 vs 116 Firaks, Automa normal level
I made a few sloppy choices the automa didn't punish and think I left points on the table despite the 213!

But, before posting, I double-checked the challenge settings and realised I'd left it on random map. So this effort doesn't count!

I suck at this game, but getting better.
Chose Automa level.
Got a close win, 118 towards 112 points

Ended up with two "towns" and one topped research track.

Random maps are seeded as well, so that's an option to consider for future challenges.
