I have just finished playing a single user game with my most recent map, "Tripple Islands". There are 8 tribes possible with this map; It is also very large - 512 X 512 I played with Version 21 of Widelands on my 64 bit, Apple Mac Mini. I had all eight tribes active. I set all AI levels to "very low". For my own tribe I chose Atlanteans. For the AI players, I had all of the tribes from Version 21 active, some of them twice. My game lasted for 176 hours. I kept playing until I had captured every building that had been constructed by an AI tribe.

I have just finished playing a single user game with my most recent map, "Southern Archipelago Mark i". There are 8 tribes possible with this map; It is also quite large - 352 X 352 I played with Version 1.0 of Widelands on my 64 bit, Apple Mac Mini. I had six AI tribes active. I set all AI levels to "very low". I set all tribes including my own to be Barbarians. The game took 74.5 hours until I had successfully captured all buildings built by the other tribes. At the end of the game I had 1257 soldiers. Accept the challenge to excel with the humility to receive help.

I also invested time in increasing the fertility of all "Desert" areas on the main land and the smaller Desert islands. I initiated Rare Tree Plantations on the improved areas. At the end of the game I had 1148 soldiers. Accept the challenge to excel with the humility to receive help.

I have just finished playing a single user game with my most recent map, "Two Campaigns Mark ii". There are 8 tribes possible with this map; the map size is - 352 X 352 I played with Version 1.1 of Widelands on my 64 bit, Apple Mac Mini. I had all eight tribes active. I set all AI levels to "very low". For my own tribe I chose Frisians. For the AI players, I had all of the tribes from Version 1.1 active, some of them twice. My strategy was to establish buildings on both of the "Signature Landing Ports" as soon as I had a ship. I then landed on one of the smaller islands and built mines to extract gold, iron and coal. I continued to build on my home ground while also taking possession of the rest of the smaller islands. I did have to challenge other tribes on some of these small islands. Once I had enough soldiers to begin my main campaigns, I expanded my holdings on the large island where I had begun my camp. When I had finished taking all the land on that island I began my campaign on the second island. When I had captured the first section of that island, I transferred all of my expansion activities and related buildings from my original camp to the new area. My game lasted for 126 hours. I kept playing until I had captured every building that had been constructed by an AI tribe. I had around 600 soldiers at the end of my game.

I have just uploaded my latest map, "Ice Protected Secret Valley - Mark I" . Playing as a single user, this map will take a VERY LONG time to totally conquer. I have not yet played this complete map to the finish, but I have played until I had cleared every small island of trees and rocks. That took me two full days on a week end. I will be playing the map to completion at some stage and I will post again with the full details.

I have now played "Ice Protected Secret Valley - Mark I" until I had taken control of all occupiable Port spaces and all significant military buildings. There was still a fair amount of land that was not under occupation because the AI tribes had moved out after stripping all resources from mining sites. There were also a number of non military buildings and unoccupied military buildings that would have required a lot of time building my own military buildings just so that the opponent buildings would implode. I decided I had finished playing the map. My tribe was Empire and I played the Blue flag from the Volcanic island at the top of the map. I had 4 AI tribes operating on the main island. My playing time was 106.5 hours. Details of my final stock and land holdings - 288 Soldiers 25 Ports 323 Gold Bars 28 Ships Accept the challenge to excel with the humility to receive help.
