I have a question:
In game 479942 I have 4 ships left and my opponent only two. However, he is 8 points ahead and I will never be able to catch up.
Why is that?
Can the Spanish win at all?
I am asking because it seems a little out of balance.
Thanks for your help. This is an awesome translation of the board game.
KL I meant 80 points!  Since this is a standalone Basic rules game, I don't think you can win since you can no longer sail upwind to get him. You may be able to gain a few more points if you sink the Orion, then try to shoot out the other 2 ships. Who knows, maybe your opponent will try to sail downwind to finish you off. If this is a league game, you could end up declared a looser for the game but win the league points due to % losses rule. Essentially you have more ships afloat than him. Thanks for your answer, but that's not what I meant. If I add all the points of the English, he should be at 205 or something like that. However, he is at 265. Where do those extra points come from? Even if I sink all of his ships, the points won't add up. Any thoughts? K
Just below the map, on the left, are a set of buttons that let you go back and look at previous moves. I did that for your game and noticed that, on turn 40, your opponent was awarded 190 points for striking Auguste (a 33 points ship)! Only two ships targeted Auguste and only one of them actually fired on it, so the error goes beyond simply mistakenly doubled points. I believe the other scoring was all done correctly. Your points are correct, but your opponent has 157 points too many. No idea why this error happened. Send an email to one of the site administrators. Maybe they can figure it out (eventually). |
