#9 - Solo Challenge [May 2023] ENDED

[Brentor]

Brentor 122 vs Automalein 119 – https://boardgamearena.com/9/gaiaprojec ... =374732533 – I thought about doing the challenge for a while before struggling through the easy AI =P.

[Cazi]

Cazi 162 vs UItoma 167 – https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=375065417 – Gaia (lvl 5) / Science (lvl 5) / AI (lvl 3) – Won sattelites, got 2nd for number of structures. Last turn took 15 points for the federations advanced tech. Made a mistake at the last move which cost me 10 points. I would have been able to build one more research lab and get the 7 points tech while also advancing one more step on the AI track.

[Rumbleman]

Rumbleman 133 vs Automa 130 - https://boardgamearena.com/5/gaiaprojec ... =375656903 - Should have spent more Q.I.C to improve my infrastructure earlier.

Not a big score but i managed to win (133-124)

I enjoyed watching the replay: going for the 2VP/mine is a different approach.

Brentor, this is not one of the easier solo challenges so congratulations on your victory. You might like to try building a research lab in the first round, to
help boost your economy.

Cazi, yes, you were close to a victory!

Should have spent more Q.I.C to improve my infrastructure earlier.

A solid win, though. In my try I would have liked to have taken more QIC actions.

Score list updated. Following established practice, a winning score is needed for elite ranking.

[Naminu]

Improved my score, yay!
Naminu 177- Ultoma 173 - Terra (top and tile), Gaia (top), Science (tile), three federations and lots of points from round bonuses and tech. Only 2. and shared 2. on end game scoring, so still a lot of room for improvement, but I'm satisfied.

[montybojangles]

Improved my score, yay!

That's a big improvement! You seem to have gaiaformed less than some other players and got very good round bonuses, including building the PI to get points at the end of round 6.

Score lists updated.

[Jowbo]

Jowbo 214 vs 139 Automachtig - https://boardgamearena.com/1/gaiaprojec ... =376876657 - Gaia, science and terra. Open with 4 qic action

Congratulations on your winning score: I'm glad your persistence paid off. I'm sure Marcus Aurelius, who used to run the solo challenges, would smile at the idea of a latte score booster! But I'm so sorry to break some bad news: you did the challenge on the Random map, not the Fixed one ... If it's any consolation, I've made that mistake in a previous challenge.

Jowbo, I like your game. Not just the one 4qic action in R1 but also another later!

I guess that means I just have to play some more.
