The "Snack The Cats" contest results are here!

The"Snack The Cats" contest is now over. Thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations to our Top 10 players!

The competition was tough. As usual, TolkaKiska took the first place very quickly on the first day and managed to keep it for a while. Mila Klem followed by being 15 days faster, but treybc broke the record a few days later with a sub 40 days. In the end, Thunderbird managed to win with a 31 days record that nobody was able to beat over the past week!

Thunderbird's strategy to win:

They quickly realized that exploration already provides most of the resources needed. Cat villages give food, and elves provide light without requiring any trading.

A key part of the early game is getting the Golden Apple event, which lets you start exploring from turn 0 and gain a strong early advantage.

From there, the focus is on setting up 4 tents and one house upgrade, then pushing exploration as fast as possible.

To speed this up even more, they used the tree upgrade, which spawns wisps. Collecting them allows you to convert workforce into even more light and exploration.

For food, the strategy is… quite straightforward: feed the cats by hunting as many animals as possible 😄 (They also recommend routing efficiently to pass through as many light breaches and animals as possible, revealing fish tiles to boost cat village food production, and taming cows.)

Finally, one important detail: zombies are passive on this map, so it’s best to ignore them (or optionally convert them into workforce for light, though it wasn’t necessary here).

Congratulations Thunderbird, you're now immortalized in the hall of fame and the game credits, you have a shiny role on discord with access to a secret channel and you'll have a tile of your own design integrated into the game in the next update!

Stay tuned for the next contest!
