 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!

 Re: Making it tough by playing all 6 players in a 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

 Re: Making it tough by playing all 6 players in a game
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

i couldn't handle 6 yards one is enough after a week of gameplay knowing me i'd get fed up & i would end up selling the best from each yard to a main yard

 Re: Making it tough by playing all 6 players in a game
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
