The August solo challenge is now active. It is to play the Hadsch Hallas versus the automa of the month, the Terrans (you must select the 'Automa of the month' button), on the Fixed map. Check that the seed in the automa score panel is 16908912. It is important that you read the Rules section for more details, especially if the seed is not 16908912.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this challenge is for you. The goal is simple: have fun and get a high score in solo mode. Thanks to the BGA set-up, you can easily compare your score, watch replays of games and learn different ways of playing a faction. (There's more guidance on how to view replays at/near the end of the May challenge.) Play serenely at your leisure: there is no timer pressure!
In the July challenge pepealas truly harnessed the power of the Taklons, with a mammoth 285 VP topping the lists - congratulations! Kespie ran that score close, with djchadb, bunnie and snyggis 2003 completing the elite. Well done all those who took part, including Brent_F on a first victory.
There's elite rank for the top 5 players and cadet rank for everyone else.
1st step: Create a new table. Select Training or Friendly mode and Fixed map. Choose 1 player/Solo and click on Start game. Select the red box Automa of the month (Terrans).
2nd step: Select the difficulty you think you can handle.
3rd step: Select the faction Hadsch Hallas. Check that the seed is 16908912 (in the player score panel). If it isn't, start again using the alternative starting method (below).
4th step: Play the game. Post your score(s), mentioning the chosen difficulty (see the format below).
Alternative starting method: Start the game with Fixed map selected >> Choose the Terrans faction card (as you would for a normal game) >> Set the custom seed (16908912 for this challenge), which is next to the heading 'Choose Automa Difficulty Level', and Select the Automa difficulty >> Choose Hadsch Hallas.
Players usually insert the link of their game (you can find it on your profile – tab (x) games played) and mention which tech tracks and other actions have been crucial for them (e.g. Economy, aiming for advanced tech tile on AI).
Ideally, use this format: YourNickname Score vs AutomaLevel Score – LinkOfTheGame – Techs focus – YourComment (e.g. : Marcus Aurelius 222 vs Ultoma 165 – www.boardgamearena.com/game=12345 – focus on Science and Terraforming until mid-game, with aim of taking advanced tile on Terraforming).
Have fun!
