As for me the game starts to bore me from the moment on i am able to buy a good horse for breeding, (since the game becomes too easy with a working breeding barn) i try to challenge myself with some "House rules". I try to "work" my way up.
It's just for my personal enjoyment, but i do know from some posts here, that there are other players, who also prefer the slow paced game
My "house rules":
-no exploits, no cheating, no betting
-Hard difficulty
-no transferring
-sometimes Breeding Barn limits (Don't have a house rule yet that satisfies me), also selling bread horses is an too easy way of making money
-sometimes i manually train
First off, do you set yourself some houserules to make the game more challenging and/or realistic, and if so, which ones?
Strategies:
With my set of house rules, especially the start is a hit or miss, what would you recommend to do first off?
I once made it, but only because one starting horse was pretty good and won races and i was able to sell it with a huge profit.
But what to do if both starting horses are rubbish? If i sell them for few bucks and i try to buy a horse in an auction with the money i have left (usually around 80-100 k), i'm doomed if the horse turns out to be crappy
I've read some posts that there are players trying to start the game with -selling races-, what is the best strategy there? (without unrealistic exploits of course
)Also other tips/strategies/house rules for an enhanced realistic and/or challenging gameplay are welcomed
