best year to beat 1337

[no longer Russian Bee]

So im wondering what the best year may be to complete 1337. My first through was year 4 or 5 due to ease of enemies, but then you may have to be able to fly across the whole map to do it.

I have done that on year 10, simple reason, You get most of elite enemies in this year. Sometimes You can get 3-4 in one region.

According to the developer, the max amount of elites possible in a single region is 3 on Year Ten. If they don't have three they will have two. This does not apply to the basic Desert or basic Plains, since those can have only one.

I don't believe that's true, in jungle biome one time I got 4 or 5 murder kitty, all on year 10.
Only one region.

There is a difference between normal enemies and elite enemies. The elites have the orange aura around them. Note that when I say that each area can only have up to three that counts Jungle, Tundra, Tier II Desert, Tier II Plains, Tier II Tundra, and Tier II Jungle as separate areas, meaning each one of them can have up to three elites.

I found it was pretty easy to get this achievement in year 4 by just clearing each zone normally except for the elite enemy. Then, in late fall or so, when you've cleared six zones except for their elites, you can just spend a day going back and taking them out as safely as possible. If you really want, you can even keep a map about where the elite in each zone is located, so you can minimize time spent searching for them.

It may not give you the bragging rights that doing it on year 10 gives you, but it still gives you the same achievement all the same.
