Quid Squid Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) The clue is trying to block his moves, and not trying to do a three stones in a row... My problem is when I get to the end when he has 3 I fall apart. I also hate the damn shadow covering up 1/4 of the board. If this fat asshole waves his hand over the board one more time.... Oh the frustration Edit: finally did it, no idea what I did though. Had to do bowls again though, the story mission didn't count as a win for the achievement.

Floyd. Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I fucking did it! I beat Achilles and the inkeeper last night after much frustration. I was so happy, lol, such a feeling of accomplishment. Now to unlock Bowls and get my acheesmo Edit: And the games I won, I fucking spanked 'em. 7 pieces left in Morris and 6 for Fanorona. Very proud. Edited November 2, 2012 by Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosTheoryV2X Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 So, I just won all three of this games and no achievement, I beat achilles, beat the guy in the inn, and just won at bowls at the harbor.

ChaosTheoryV2X Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Bowls is not at the Harbor it is at the lumberjacks house. The one at the Harbor is Checkers. Theres another bowls at the harbor..but it must not count -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavonis Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Theres another bowls at the harbor..but it must not count -.- The bowls at the harbor most definitely does NOT count. I had done it before this bowls and was confused when I did not receive the achievement either. To clarify, you MUST complete the bowls game specified in the video!

VyperJMc Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Ugh. I beat Achilles at Fanorana, but can't win Nine Men's Morris at the Inn. Been using both videos in this thread, & nothing. I've spent about 5 hours trying to do this, but no luck. Edit: Wow! I got fed up & just started putting pieces randomly on the board... won with all 9 of my pieces on the board. CPU stalled it's last 3 pieces for like 10 minutes, but I still whooped it's ass! Edited November 3, 2012 by VyperJMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never lost a game with the strategy I provided in my video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalov Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hey guys. I can't beat Morris for the life of me. I beat Fanorona in about 15 attempts. Morris is WAY harder than Fanorona. The AI never makes the same moves in my game that it does in the video. Even when I get 3 chips in a row, the AI always recovers to beat me. I think I'm 0/50 so far. Annoying shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Pladgett Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The clue is trying to block his moves, and not trying to do a three stones in a row... My problem is when I get to the end when he has 3 I fall apart. Tuzky is absolutely right. I had huge trouble beating the expert guy by trying to remove his pieces. So in the placement phase of the game I focused purely on preventing him from getting threes in a row and placing my own pieces so that I could block him from making any moves when the movement phase began. Won the game without removing any of my opponent's pieces, and losing two of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo1991 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hey everyone! I created a guide for the Original Gamer achievement which includes completing Fanorona, Morris and Bowls in the Homestead. Hope you enjoy! Any suggestions, comments, questions and concerns feel free to post! Quality video pal, definately going to use this when i get upto the homestead bit!

Crimson Ridley Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Finally unlocked this achievement! Fanorana was definitely the hardest, as you've really got to plan a few moves ahead. I had some trouble with Morris, because I kept failing to see the traps he was setting up. Bowls took me two tries, it's really simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Anaconda Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I posted this in some other thread, but i think this is the right place: SPOILER ALERT: Original Gamer Achievement: Question: I completed all Homeland Quests and Achille`s Died..so i can only play against a random NPC. He is not playing like Achilles i have a hard time beating him and i am also not sure if the achievement will pop up when i play Fanorama against this random NPC instead of Achilles. Does somebody else had the same problem? Maybe i should go to Sequenz 6 or 7 and play against Achilles Fanorama. But i hope my data will be saved after beating him...i am confused. EDIT: In which sequence you can play against him? Edited November 4, 2012 by Dark Anaconda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I sucked so bad at Fanorana I had an AI win the game for me. (got the idea from dawngalneryus at ps3trophies.org) http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/180...ects/fanorona/ under the level tab set level to 1 1/2 to 10 seconds/move so you can see the moves. Under options: Computer is black, human plays white white pieces start at the top white makes the first move multiple captures on first move ok. Then in assassins creed I chose No to "do you want to start first?" Every move Achilles made in Assassin Creed, I made in the Java Game, every move the Java game made, I made in Assassins Creed. I won on my first attempt. Did the same with nine men's Morris using: http://www.kongregate.com/games/vensal/nine-mens-morris Set it to the hardest difficulty. Made sure not to accept a draw. Only problem was the game wouldn't let me move the innkeepers pieces the same when he got down to 3 pieces left (though since I had only lost 1 piece I could manage that part by myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yac Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 and just a heads up for Bowls, winning the tutorial match (the one played in the homestead mission) does not count towards the achievment, i won that match and had won the other 2 games as well but didn't get the achievment till i won another bowls game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponypo2001 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Morris had to be the easiest for me. Use my strategy of chips on both corners and then chip one of the corners. Then for sure you can get to kill one of their pieces. Make sure to stop their 3 whenever you can. Tried it a hundred times and still nothing. Not even online AI can beat the game's AI. Not once in 4 hours of play has the computer emulated the moves in that video either. The AI is quite simply, perfect and thus unbeatable in my game.

If you watch the video, you see the AI plays like a complete retard at the start and that makes for a very easy win. In my attempts (now 5 hours long), he just doesn't make a single error, not one. I really want this out of the way, but it's just not beatable, simple as that. I've lost so much money retrying, it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
