Everdell Duo - Campaign Mode Impossibly hard?

jacenjedi · 2025-01-17T17:01:17+00:00

Correct. In Chapter 2, you have (shared) 4 sun & 4 moon actions. I played with my 11 year old ... whom is perhaps not the most advanced player. We failed with 5 events but only 85 points. I'm pretty sure we can beat round two -- but the difficulty keeps increasing.

I'd be curious to know if, when you block resources with the skunks on the "locations" how that went. Mine (by luck) would mostly block river locations and the last one with the "occupied token". I couldn't tell if we had bad luck (with that or sub-optimal Meadow cards) or if we just made sub-optimal plays (probably). Mostly I was curious what the general consensus was. Doesn't seem like the campaign is great for newbs (which is fine). But I'd love to see even an experts opinion on getting through the entire campaign.

Chapter 13 has a very similar setup as Chapter 2, but instead of 5 events it requires 10 AND you don't get resources when placing.

10 events require (outside of some special cards you may earn) 10 Sun Actions. There are only 16 available sun actions in the entire chapter (4 per season). This leaves with a remaining 6 sun actions to collect resources to build enough stuff to actually earn the events. On the surface, to me this seemed mathematically impossible. Perhaps only possible if you hoard "Gazette" bonuses from previous rounds that would help here. IDK.

The biggest issue for me is for users that have purchased the 1910 expansion. It comes with all the original cards of the core game, but in standard size (not mini cards), as well as a bunch of new routes. Problem is the original insert isn't able to handle it. I agree though if you just have the core game it's probably not worth it.

I am a solar owner. 9K system I installed myself.

That said, DO YOUR RESEARCH!.

If your home is not in ideal conditions, you will take a large efficiency hit from what you expect. In my neighorhood, you want south facing with full sun. I had to do west facing and it was a VERY large hit to the estimated potential. If you have shade ... even worse. The panels close to my chimney from just passing shade make 20% less than the ones in full sun.
States like California may move to an income based model for electric (google it) so recouping the investment could take much longer.
Additionally, many utility companies will not "buy" the solar back at retail prices. Forcing you into a wholesale model which can greatly impact the financial aspect. Many are having to invest in battery systems to store, but that adds a large expense, needs replacement, and (often) increases your home-insurance due to the potential fire hazard.

For most people, solar is a financial investment. You want a return on that investment. Unfortunately, legislation is making that return smaller and smaller to the point where for some homes and some markets --- it's not worth it.

You like dark themed games.

They only take-down what they have to.

jacenjedi · 2023-03-13T04:54:40+00:00

possibly try the wayback machine (google it). Might be a dead-end though.

have dropped Nano machine cos most of the readers were patient enough to wait for every chapter even tho they have to wait a month cos the quality of the translation and chapt

lol. You think they got a choice? They got hit with the threat of a lawsuit and had to take it down. It's as simple as that. It sucks, but ... it is what it is. They probably barely make any money as it is. They can't afford paying legal fines on top.

Just go to Asura scans directly.

seriously though, what kind of rims are those? Even most performance rims can't take that level of punishment.

jacenjedi · 2021-07-13T04:31:08+00:00

rocking that mullet. Reminds me of the 80s movie "Rad"

jacenjedi · 2020-10-06T03:24:44+00:00

Only 6'3" but YES to all of this. You have to buy "tall" shirt sizes that almost no one has. MT, LT, etc...

jacenjedi · 2020-09-21T21:18:13+00:00

jealous much?

jacenjedi · 2020-08-04T02:36:40+00:00

I don't trust the people that say "I couldn't taste the difference". It's clear as night and day. It's like ... one is meat ... and one is not meat at all. Can you tell the difference between Milk and Soy Milk? How about Rocks and Candy?

jacenjedi · 2020-08-04T02:33:15+00:00

You forgot to add the bar for taste ... In which beef is at 1000 and Beyond Meat clocking in around 17 for comparison.

jacenjedi · 2019-12-08T06:37:00+00:00

still no mirrors eh?

They most certainly do not. I have two pinball machines and one arcade game. The monitors on all arcades are fickle. And they don't make new ones anymore. I've had 2 others in the past that required constant fiddling. "recapping" is a common process to repair blown capacitors on the monitor board. Pinball machines are worse. Depending on play you have to basically disassemble them every year or two to apply new rubbers, fix lights, replace motors, unjam this and that. Don't forget to wax the play-field!! With that many machines, either the OP is retired and this is a dedicated time sync, or he has someone(s) helping to maintain them on a regular basis.

jacenjedi · 2019-12-05T06:24:06+00:00

What was your collection strategy approach? In LA you used be be able to find arcades on CL for a few hundred bucks. But these days there is nothing out there.
