Smack talk goes here for Scenario - Outback Tycoon! Game URL: https://playyourdamnturn.com/game/55fa2205-58e6-4430-a373-6ad0928fca59
My initial save has errored when attempting the create save file.I have requested help. So there will be a delay in starting.
While the game starts with us bunched together at the first colony of Sydney NSW, you can choose anywhere to settle. Anyway, here is a map of Australia with states and cities if you decide to settle in the correct area or not. You have 4 turns to explore!
Hmm, I thought I had everything. It says “community quick user interface”? Am I missing something?
I am so sorry. I thought I had disabled mods which affect save games.
I don’t expect anyone to install the mod. It enhances information and the interface in the game.
To resume without the mod. I must make a new game.
No problem. Sounds like a useful mod.
Not caring for the mod myself. I feel like it is half working.
That’s turn 60 complete. Don’t know if we get to see the victory screen somehow with a score victory. But safe to say my 1,288gpt won’t be beaten. GG everyone. Some screen shots of the final standings here: https://imgur.com/a/X1k5DAu.
Some thoughts on the scenario…
Campuses, and Theatre Squares are worthless and a waste of hammers. I built one of each and they did nothing. All the important techs and civics will get hit with eurekas anyway. May be even all districts other than an Harbour or Commercial Hub for the trade route, or getting the culture boom on some more forest tiles.
National Parks and the AIF City projects dwarf everything else for ROI. A single naturalist gives at least 16gpt from a national park, more likely mid twenties. And each AIF project gives 20gpt and production can be boosted with policy card.
My strategy ended up as settling forest and mountains where possible. Then once the +100% to AIF Project policy card was available, chop everything to rush them. Then plant second growth forest to make a national park.
Good game all and hats off to HC. I really appreciate your comments about the game.
Thanks Valamas for setting up our game.

Good game. Never played that before, interesting strategy. Congrats HC.
GG You really soared on the gold and I realised too late there was a AIF project. I do like coming in cold to these games and mostly oblivious to the strategy until too late.
I struggled for a couple funny reasons. First, everyone came and settled near me. I lost a settler. Poof, just disappeared. “A dingo took my baby”. Then realised travelling on the coast was like a speedboat.
I would not play again. Neutral on it. But my goal is to go through and document each scenario. Some scenarios you are able to adjust the game speed which I think could change this scenario a fair bit, but can’t remember if you can.
A scenario that was liked was the Ancient Rivals. If someone sets that up, I will join. Its setup is in the strategy discussion forum.
