Post Re: Making it tough by playing all 6 players in a game
Even playing all 6 trainers it is surprising how quickly the seasons do go by. The trick is not to keep too many horses. All 6 trainers are in competition with each other, and if you sell off the surplus horses it is even more competition. It is really a case of whether you want to make it really tough to win races and for one horse or trainer to dominate. After 6 seasons only 1 trainer has won the championship twice. It is really a case of whether you want a tough competition, or whether you are happy to just totally dominate and win just about every race that is going. Although it is exciting trying to breed a monster, it can also be boring when you consistently train all the placegetters!! But I guess that is the enjoyment of Starters Orders. You can play it as you want. A great game!

Hi Alfamann, i want to make the game harder to win races and make the AI horses more competitive, could you explain how playing six players makes it harder please?
Thankyou

But even though they are different stables they are all your horses so your not really against each player, its just having more horses and so less computer competition

Basially it's harder because you play each stable as a separate stable, so they aren't connected to each other, and if you think having 5 of you against you it means its harder to win group 1s as there are 5 other people vying for the same races.

once your breeding op kicks in you will find it very hard not to win every race you enter
i don't know how the game can be made harder

I breed for the lge so never get bored of domination

i think for so6 the game should be made harder so as when you can breed monsters from the best horses, other trainers should also get horses from those best horses and so your horses arent easily the best horses in the game

would be great for AI trainers to have the ability to use your stallions

Or breed in the same way that real players can?
