A Question about farms
« on: May 13, 2017, 11:07:11 AM »
First of all, welcome back Farin. And thanks for all the hard work on this app.

I got the latest version, and have a question about scoring. My opponent got a score of 50 in his farms when the game ended. I am not sure how he got that score however. He did have his pig deployed. So, I gather that meant 4 pts per completed city touching his farm. I only counted 8 such cities. But in any case, I can't see how he could arrive at 50 with a 4 pt/city rule. Oh, the final window only showed he had one farm.

It might be just me. I'm not the best with farms. I usually leave it to my son when I play.

Again, welcome home.

Was it one big farm with the pig or several farms?

8 cities with a pig makes 32 points which leaves 18 points that is even with another 6 city farm of 3 points each.

Do you have a screenshot? There could be castles or besieged cities involved.

Probably he scored farm points with the pig during the game. That mostly explains a higher farm count in the game stats at the end.

Thanks everyone for all the input.  :(y)

We didn't play with castles or besiegers.

I stupidly did not take a screen shot. I can only assume that I must've missed another farm as Paul suggested.

I'm not sure I understand Adrornalin's point about scoring farms during the game. I thought farms only scored at the end of the gameplay. We didn't play with barns or wagons. Only TB, IC, Rivers I,II, and GQ Expansion.

Anyway, I am ready to accept it must've been just me missing another farm. I've never been the best "farmer".  :-[

Thanks for the input. Happy Gaming!

Sorry I meant barn instead of pig.. with the barn you can score farm pts during the game. But as I can read you did not play with the barn, so forget what I said ; )

I haven't graduated to the barn yet.  :-[  As you can see, I'm still getting the farm mechanics down.  The wagon, Princess and Dragon, are even more terrifying. But, ... it's all good fun. A little at a time. My graduation will be Towers.  ;)
