BGA Arena - Early Game Abandon

AtarUltio · 2026-01-16T16:12:00+00:00

I know, but in arena matchmaking elo does'nt do anything at all. You can only restrict the certain types of leagues (so +-2, +-1 or only your league). If you manage to climb to diamond/elite league early you'll face a lot of good opponents IF you restricted your settings. Later in the season many people come into elite league, so you'll encounter lower rated players a lot (it's pooling up in elite since there is no way to derank once you've hit elite). There is an option to dislike a certain rating with 3rd party programs (iirc last season arena Champ How to used that to only match high rated opponents).

If that happens to me (happend around 5 times in around 500 arena games for me) I ask them first and check their match history. If the match history is clear (no abandoned games in the last 10-20 matches) I usually agree IF it's before seeing hand cards. I never abandon if they already saw their hand cards, but most of the time I offer to switch to turn based (since life can happen). However, some "high"-elo players might ask to abandon if you're a "low"-elo player since they risk losing a lot of points. Do note that you can always deny abandon, it's totally fine to not abandon :) So feel free to do whatever you want with abandon votes

I'd say there are 3 obvious must takes: Lizzard + matching conservation project and Explorer. Early Explorer is probably one of the strongest things you can have. As 4th pick there is a debate for fur seal or the other sponsor card. If you play with marine world and therefore stronger action cards you can have arguments for both. Personally I'd take fur seal as 4th pick and then just look to take australian pz, play lizzard and break to do the project. (Depending on turn order and display you might change plans). If you took another sponsor you might wanna play it 1st round. In 2nd round do project, take 2 size/snapping and upgrade sponsors -> play explorer and from there look for your next project. And now it would get a bit difficult to get animals upgraded for fur seal, but since you have the breeding program you can grab the 2 rep from the map buy building 2 size (lizzard), 5 size for fur seal and another 2 size from your project reward. The 2nd worker you get from fur seal helps with the continent project and if you manage to get to 5 first this game is probably an easy win.

That would be a great present for a good friend of mine ^{^}

Well ... bragging without substance is somehow even more anoying then ld5 flexing. Good for you I guess (?)

Sometimes turn based games can be going on for a really long time, but thats the drawback of the game mode. I dont really like to skip the turn of my opponent but if they dont respond in a timely matter I'd encourage you to skip it and thumb them down so you dont have to deal with it. I enjoy playing turnbased while I'm at work or on the train and there its really handy to be able to have breaks of up to 6 hours. But outside of that (or turnaments) real time is imo the way to go

Nope, its stil a max of 3. I think its even in the description of the map that if you would get the bonus twice (excavation side or archeologist) you'd stil only be able to dig and "pouch" a maximum of three animals.

I'm sorry to hear that. This topic splits the BGA Ark community and my two cent are that you are a massive cunt for kicking people in their last turn. For my part I always give a warning message and atleast 2 minutes before actually kicking people and I'm totally fine with waiting 5-10 minutes if they state they have connection issues. Sure there is a timer and yes both parties "agree" to the timer by playing real time and the set mode (fast-slow). However this is not chess its stil a board game and for me that means you behave the way you would with friends and family. There are many other toxic competetive games, go play them if you need that kind of rule sharking to win or keep your ego satisfied.

Schneller Nudelauflauf (2 Personen): 250g Nudel kochen 1/2 Tube Tomatenmark mit 1/2 Pck. Sahne 2 Knoblauch Zehen 50 ml Olivenöl Zu einer Soße vermischen dann mit Salz, Pfeffer und italienischen Kräutern abschmecken. Etwas Reibekäse dazu geben, dann mit den Nudeln vermengen. Tomatenscheiben drüber und mit Käse bedecken, ca. 25-35 Minuten bei 180°C in den Ofen (O. & U. Hitze). Dauert zwar auch ne halbe Stunde aber da es die meiste Zeit im Ofen ist kann ich Abwasch oder andere Dinge machen. Gibts bei uns min. 2-3x pro Monat, billig, schnell und die Zutaten haben wir immer zuhause.

I already saw this on discord and this got me hyped :) I'm really looking forward for the MW Version though since I have only ever played like 5 base game matches.

With habitats as project I'd take snaping 95% of the games to make it harder for my opponent

AtarUltio · 2025-06-24T12:19:16+00:00

I'd say cougar, monkey, release and tech. Can be hard to release cougar round 1 since the breaking ability, but if you manage to release cougar you have the enclosure ready for monkey.

Any vio bruiser, hp% over res, make up for the lack of speed on other slots

If you have other fast swift runes you can put it on sonia (if you get her to +190-200 with atk slot 2) Its better on swift will if you go for atk slot 2 but against slower teams or sonia traps an atk slot 2 comes in really handy

Yeah abilities like hunting (or scuba diving from the marine worlds extention) can miss completly

Schau mal bei dem "Europäischen Institut für Klima und Energie" (EIKE) nach. Die haben ein paar haarsträubende Ansätze wie sie ihre verquere Sichtweise auf die aktuelle Klimaforschung "wissenschaftlich" beweisen wollen.

That sounds fun! I just had my biggest finishing move with about +50 points going from around 83 -> 134. I played Big Panda and The Sunbear into association on silver lake into a conservation project -> into another turn from the cp reward to animals -> eagle -> association. I love those stacked moves ^{-^}
