5) The "guess strategy" minigame for ground invasionsTested some more and I couldn't reproduce my own problem, so I guess that was a momentary interface problem or something.I don't think I've ever invaded a pirate world. I'll have to look into that. At least your post gives confirmation that someone actually uses the invasion mini-game. How do you like it? Too easy? Too hard? Too boring?
Minigame opens up during any ground combat it seems, invade standard empires, invade pirate-owned planet, even during clearing of pirate facilities on a planet I own.
Took me a number of attempts to understand how it works. The bar at the top is how many attempts are available (filling up as I use them, though green is kinda unintuitive for that), gold star is correct guess in correct place, silver star is correct guess in wrong place.
My main problem now is purely graphical: the background image makes it somewhat difficult to comfortably read the text past the first few attempts, dark text on dark image.
As far as difficulty goes, now that I understand the concept it isn't too difficult, though I'll try it some more and see how it averages out.
Currently playing a pirate game and the invasion "guess strategy" minigame is fantastic for pirate raids against planets!
Also there seems to be no limit to how many times it can be replayed on the same ongoing ground combat, even immediately after the preceding attempt, no matter if the previous one was successful or not.
Did a test and after several successful "guesses" my few pirate raiders overwhelmed several infantry troops!
Now it's just a matter of self-control to use only one attempt per raid/invasion.
