Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
I have just looked in game and there's an impressionist painter specialist in Stockholm, it's for spending insight in Europe. I never picked those anyway. :)) Yep, they were the entourage members that gave bonus collect tokens on the European campaign token job, and vice versa. Basically never used...

Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
Congrats on platinum! And the rainbow's beautiful, isn't it? :)
I don't think it's necessary to go all-out like you perhaps did over there, but each run can probably use a little bit of rainbow to start raking in the tokens.

Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
Just completed a second attempt, using the Molly(C)-Harry-Philippe rogue-stacking crew. It's quick and easy, but requires Harry's story to be a high-scoring crew. Without it I was severely short on status and ended up with 6402 renown. I'm sure the Star of Africa would have helped (Mali was a Mask ...

Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
Thanks. Could you elaborate on the trinket-swapping? Kcyw mentioned it in last week's challenge as well. What I think the term should mean isn't permitted by the game, though, so I guess you guys mean something else. I think of "trinket-swapping" as having one or more alternate trinkets unequipped,...

Re: Anyone gotten past Shangri-La?
Thanks! Sounds like the key difference between my visits there was Charles and his AOEs more than stats, then. With a corollary of "don't go to Shangri-la if you don't have AOEs or stuns". Staying out of range of four green demons just isn't possible unless the tactical map is generated *very* favo...

Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
Also, PlutoniumRooster if you don't mind my asking, what research approach did you take for that score? So far I've almost always done Anthropology and whichever tree boosts renown from my primary resource. But I see you got crazy amounts of both gold and status, so did you build on that by doing E...

Re: Anyone gotten past Shangri-La?
I'll have to admit I haven't done Shangri'la in quite a while, but that team sounds like it should be able to survive well enough. However, your approach in playing the encounter actually matters a lot more than the gear you're using. Most encounters in Shangri'la are actually fixed, with only the l...

Re: Challenge #33: Don't Go Too Far!
http://i.imgur.com/8Ba2NzR.png Molly's still pretty decent even without getting Star of Africa last. Or at all, since my 77% chance of getting the mining equipment failed. >:( Regardless, 160 collect tokens in 3rd expedition Mali, 184 collect tokens in 4th expedition Highlands, and 297 collect toke...

Re: Challenge #32: Laying Low
http://i.imgur.com/4vy4oyK.jpg Had to try this 'not going to rank 5 expeditions' trend that's been going on of late, and not disappointed! Another expedition might have been a better choice than Transylvania, but at least I did finally unlock the Halloween treasures, so I'd say that was worth it. :)

Re: Challenge #32: Laying Low
The Raptor Queen (my first ever encounter with her) gave me a scare as well - had to end that by any means available (Devious) rather than arranging for a Friendly win and the big piles of tokens I had stacked on that mood. But putting in all this effort only to lose on the last boss would have bee...
