Puzzle 13 - Twiggedy Do

[Wanderer]

Looking for advice, not a direct answer. I've skimmed into silver on this puzzle about 6 times now and I can't quite find the last 10 points. I feel I'm missing something obvious for points building.

Grabbing points for the Lumberjacks by not building the forests until absolutely necessary so you get the extra for the individual Foresters, no problem. Actually NOT building Royal Forests has netted better points overall. I can't seem to squeeze the final points out of the Sawmills though.

Any recommendations?

Hey Wanderer,

the trick is to optimize the placement of the royal forrest, they generate forrests around them and also push the lumberjacks and saw mills.

Try to put them down on grass/thicket and use "place forrest" to maximise your foresters.

If you need further help feel free to join our official Discord Server where I can give you some more detailed tipps.

The points on this puzzle are awful. 10 under for silver and 20 under for bronze should be 100 and 200. The prior puzzles were either easy to problem solve on the fly or iterate. This one is, IMO, a crapshoot of trial and error. General tip for anyone who doesn't want a solution:

Focus on the NW corner of the map. Too much royal forest in one area limits the Lumberjack points.

Here is a gold solution in case anyone is over this puzzle: Solution[imgur.com]

@Ehtacs Thank you so much, stucked for an hour on this puzzle..

Good grief. It came down to placing 1 extra forest just right in the right order. That is one TIGHT puzzle.

Thank you both.

Hey,

congratulations on all of you for reaching the gold medal.

However, the puzzle can be solved with more than 1000 points with the following building order (northern map region):

1. create two Royal Forests from your Foresters
2. build four Lumberjacks
3. build four Sawmills

It's all a matter of placement and sequence optimization.
