Gaia Project: Solo Playthrough Part 2 

More than 3 years later....I have written 22 pages of notes on every turn of these 2 playthrough videos to help me learn this game. Thanks so much for your time and effort producing these.

I'm a big fan of your playthroughs. Great enthusiasm :) Thanks!

Excellent video. I've watched a few other vids you have and you're one of my favs now.

These Gaia Project videos have been awesome! Thanks so much. First ones to really make it click for me - especially with the AI

great playtrough, and i rly like the way you do the videos, you do it perfectly fast and explain enough on each step for it to make sence for me who has not played it first, im getting this tomorrow in the mail, and that is boardgame day att the library so ill deff bring it there, keep up the great work, i hope you make a vid on fuji koro if you are able to get a hand on a copy,

In boardgamegeek, we have posts of high scores using predetermined seeds and a static order of automa cards. That way you can find the optimal moves and max scores other have gotten with the same setups.

Great and exciting playthrough! Congrats in winning against the Taklons! 🙌👽

Great video! I'm new to the game and this really helped me. Thank you!

Hello Colin! Here is a small tip to level up your Hadsch Hallas game. Once you have your institute built and a 6c federation token, try to use the 3q action as often as possible (or the 2q action when you have sufficient planet types to make it worthwhile). Even if you have to use 12c to convert to 3q, you will gain half of them back and 7vp, so it's a conversion rate of 6c->7vp which is pretty amazing if you ask me. Great job on the videos, I discovered your channel with the Mage Knight playthroughs, didn't know you were a Gaia Project fan! This is in my top 3 games of all time for sure.

great play! excellent execution!

Thx for the video! Great explanation.

Excellent! Thanks a lot

Great video Colin. It was looking close right up until the last round there but your planning paid off in the end. Congrats on the win!

Amazing playthrough Colin. Thanks so much.

When you move up in research area, like you did in the end of this video, you should get ore, credits and charges immediately as in the income. It's specified in manual.

WOW I never thaught about round bonus being 5 points for GAiNING a fed.tile.. always played it only for making a federation... so that means getting to the top on brown tech track is even better than I thaught!!! :D (crazy how one cna miss stuff even in my fav game !)

Wow top 10. Playthrough was awesome as always. Wanted to ask if it was worth it for solo only but you answered that. Another game on the to buy list. You like this one better than Anachrony?

This is to Gaia Project solo what Ricky Royal’s Mage Knight video series is to MK

Hi Colin, I hope you are well. I'm considering getting Gaia Project for solo only and as usual I'm pulled into your enthusiasm during the playthrough. Given that it was a few years ago, how do you find it now? Do you still play it, or have you passed it on? Thank!

Also at 19:10 I think you did it correctly!

Random thought: is it just me or is it odd that QICs are tracked with tokens but the other resources are tracked using your resource track?

10:57 Did you really take the 4 points for making your second Trading station? Makes no sense that if you got 8 and they got 6 they be ahead of you? )

At 34.25, shouldnt you have also taken that blue tech tile?? Love your videos...ive watched this one about 3 times now...this game is not easy to follow via the instruction booklet!!

How many days until Heroes of Terrinoth is released? Will we see video of you sitting outside your local gamestore waiting for the doors to open?

a few play mistakes, that would have changed the game slightly, but in the end, shouldn't have made a difference in you winning. Main one is the build at 15:30 You upgrade a research station in an academy, but with the previous build, you just had returned a trade post, so you should have placed that one on the board out of range of your planets. At 30:45, you are forgetting that the planet they are settling as because of a faction action, and as a result, would have looked first to closest to your planets, but this would have resulted in the same planet to be chosen. Overall, it was a nice playthrough. It does seem that you were very lucky with the draws of the automata, and he never really had a chance. I prefer the game a bit more in multiplayer, but will bring out the solo once in a while.

From what I recall from Terra Mystica, building a federation equivalent is automatic, which makes it harder to set up a huge last round like you did in this playthrough.

Id say transdim arnt a planet type cause they trn into green anyway-

This is a fiddly solo game. Great game which requires deep strategy while simultaneously running a solo bot.

J played my first game solo against easiest difficulty and got obliterated
