|
|
Finally got it back. It took a lot of tries and reminded me why Homelands is not much fun anymore. I actually discovered a few "major" improvements in my methods and still took a LOT of tries because of the insane amount of luck needed. The basic yam/alien luck which I'm cool with and A TON of my absolute favorite types of luck: THE-FREAKIN-RANDOM-ROCK-PUSH-LUCK and the classic SLIME-LUCK. Annoying at best and have nothing to do with finding new methods which to me is the most important thing in bd4. Well, you can't have it all I guess. |

Thanks for nothing! Yes, I had trouble with the luck on that one...there is too much, although your score suggests that you have a better method. Then again, my method rlies little on pushing rocks (one bomb at the start really) and I'm pretty proud of it... probably a better method to get a reliable average but not a one off best. As for the slime luck at the end... one game took me 2 full time to get through (20 seconds) when I thought I'd clearly get top. I guess this level''s yours. At least I plucked off ari and got that extra point. Again, bastard, it's 5 years snce I've held number one and I was hoping to at least have it for a couple of months while I was away so you could see that in the ranking graph sometime in the future. October... with mabe a few one off games in the next month. |

My method relies a little on rock pushing: the bomb and with a few aliens. I think you are gonna take the number one back really easily if you play just a little. What is amazing though is that I still discovered new methods that save a lot of time (:200 or something) and that's the real beauty of bd4.
Greetings and hope to see you soon

I wish I could redefine this forum code just a little so the "enter" key would be mapped automatically to br. I meant:

That was a long time I had not scored in Homelands. Well, no, just checking I had got back level 39 this year already.
But I'm glad I found new tricks too on level 42, an interesting number.
Now you can call me names |

Nice going dude. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to play this anymore
Now I may have to one day try to beat this, though the slime luck really bugs me. |

Well done seb... I was planning on showing that asarkila, but I had to work until midnight Monday to Thursday "every day" last week. Then I had a 3-4 hour drive Friday before a 24 hour rogaine on the weekend in which we covered around 100km in the bush (fallen logs, hills, blackberries, mudslides, fog, coolness, darkness, some wind and lots of water flowing from the sky) to win back out state championships title (yah!). I think I can get 995 with a lot of luck. It may have to wait until October now. |

Maybe an absolute perfect run would give 995 but at least with my method it's pretty dan difficult |

In order to congratulate Wil for his sports achievements, I played a few Homelands games, just enough for him to get back to #1 spot.
Now I have to post this message fast, because who-you-know will certainly fight back
So congrats Wil for being back to 1st place in Homelands |
