  • I can not survive the first wave with the elder. I actually can no longer think of anything I haven't tried (no matter how stupid it seemed).

    I cant find a way to get any specialist to the Kyburz before the elder ship arrives.

    I have sent the pirate or the pirate and the inspector to intercept the elder ship but I still loose against the elder. I have tried the above having promoted the inspector (again didnt work). I've tried doing that whilst also promoting the liuetenant and that is the closest I have got but its still a fail!

    I have tried sending the saboteur, assasin and double agent against the elder ship. I've also tried doing that with a pirate. Obviously failed.

    I've tried sending various specialists at the second sub (using a pirate to get their quick) but you just loose them or the elder ship has already arrived.

    only thing I can think of that I haven't tried revolves around what is considered to be a factory, is a mine a factory?

    This is really doing my nut in!

  • Purple panda... These aren't the solutions just things that I have tried that get closer to beating (but don't work)

  • I haven't attempted this since Saboteurs were reduced to 2, it's indeed tough! I haven't found the new solution yet.

  • Totally stuck in this one as well. Best I've gotten to is managing to survive the attack from the Elder, but losing so much in the process that I die anyway (I even have to sacrifice my Queen). Can anyone give me a nice hint (over PM to not spoil it?)

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I just solved the Kobayashi Maru, which means only this one is left! It's killing me!

  • Ok, I've just been exchanging PMs with someone that managed to solve it but, in his case, there were "only" 45 drills coming from Calmer, and I have 55. Might there be a bug somewhere? How many drills do others see in this scenario?

  • Yeah, I had previously solved it. I'm the one seeing 45 on startup and can solve again no problem with that number using the same method I had previously used to solve it.

  • You can use the pirate to avoid sacrificing the queen but you still won't be able to defend from the second attack. This is killing me.

  • @Ron has this been updated since Saboteurs were reduced to 2 hires instead of 3?
