Is anyone trying to complete the achievements and/or doing colonies?
Do I hear crickets chirping??
I have been trying to come up with a plan to complete the achievement “The rock” (to successfully defend colonies from invasion 1,000 times). I believe that this achievement could be completed faster with cooperation between players that are not guildies or “friends”.
We could maximize our chances of getting colony defenses if we choose one specific colony resource and hold tier 1 colonies with that resource. Then we would each periodically send explorers to find, attack, and cancel tier 1 colonies of that resource that are already taken. I would be willing to send several explorers (30-40) to search for and cancel tier 1 colonies periodically, perhaps daily or at lease weekly, providing owners of those colonies a chance for a defense. This would only happen outside of events to not interfere with explorer treasure searches.
The real trick is to determine the ideal resource. I’m thinking that marble or exotic wood might be the best colonies to take since there is typically 1 or 2 to choose from with each explorer search, and not such a valuable resource that most players would want to simply take them. However, if a large number of players are participating in this plan, we may need to choose a more common resource like hardwood or coal.
Is anyone out there interested in trying this plan? If so, please reply here or send me a game mail if you are on Ares.
Everyone else - please try to control your laughter.
