The Book of Orla II

Sewinglady's farm has the CR up and running and has started on the "cherry" levels.

This farm is slogging along.

Is it me, or are the levels with more books and more slots actually easier than the early on levels with less books and slots (and less time to complete)?

 

Thanks so much for your excellent work, Nordais & Nala!
Things are going slowly here this time, but here's to hope, I suppose.

PM, I think both types of levels are fun, but I did get one of the early levels wrong because I hadn't paid attention whereas the mid-levels with more stacks are great so far. (Haven't yet made it to the high levels to compare those.)

 

As always great thanks to Nala777 and Nordais for all your posts and helpful hints! I have completed the 45 mini games and that is it for me! I have the CR up and running and enjoyed spending the 890 "star coins" I got. Good luck everyone and I hope you have fun and reach your goals!

 

Octroo - I goofed on one lower level early on, too. Only on SL's farm. Got smarter by the time THIS farm had to play that level.

 

Thank you again, Nala777, for the YT videos Thanks to them, i could access those more difficult levels in order to get some cherries.

 

I worked out that all of the cherry levels are constructed the same and are easily beaten using these methodical steps (I don't know if this applies to the earlier levels)

1) Move any book to one of the free spaces. It doesn't matter which colour book you start with.
2) This will leave a gap in the original stack above a book of a different colour. Find that colour book and move it to the gap.
3) Repeat for the next gap, and the next....until the colour of book matches the original book you moved
4) MOVE THE FIRST BOOK FROM THE OTHERWISE EMPTY SPACE ONTO TO THE STACK WITH A GAP.
5) You probably now have some stacks with the top two books matching each other, and others which are not matching. Repeat steps 1-4 until all stacks have the top two books matching.
6) Start again but obviously moving two books to the empty space this time. Again, doesn't matter which colour you start with. Repeat until all stacks have the top three books matching.
7) Do the same again moving three books at once. This is obviously trivial by now.

This has worked for every level and lets you complete them with plenty of time left on the timer. It actually only uses one of the two empty spaces.

 

Hi everyone, well I thought I would stop at 45, which I did BUT then I thought I might try the harder ones. So here I am
to say I just completed level 60 I am growing event crops to mill maybe 2 more Bankers lamps as I want to do 61 and then try one of the random levels! I will say I am having more fun doing the higher ones than doing 1-45 Good luck and I hope you reach your goal whatever it may be. Now I need to spend Cherry Coins!

 

Yeah, I swear the cherry levels are easier!

 

It's great that LEVELS up to 36 are in NUMBERS, has anyone made numerical tables similar to levels 1-36 from those videos using a long formula?

It's nice that there are over 70 games, but I will NEVER pass levels from CR level onwards without numerical assistance!

THE RELEVANT Hungarian FORUM CHAIN, on page 4 there are videos, if someone would like to do the good deed of the YEAR and make those numerical orders from the videos - I would be VERY grateful, you can't force anything, buy it or anything else, but "kindly beg"!

p.s. from user Luminary - pretty much in the middle of page 4...

 

Yes I thought so too! I used my own brain power...scary to think about but I enjoyed them!

 

Nuubi - I think that the charts just make it more complicated than it needs to be.

My strategy has been to start the mini-game, don't move anything right away - take a second or two to look at how the books are stacked. Figure out what you can move the most of to the empty slot (or one of them, if you're higher up) and start moving books.

My other basic strategy in the higher levels has been to stack the books so there are two of the same on each pile, then move one to an empty slot and keep moving them until you get three of a kind in a stack in several piles. After that, it's just a matter of moving them until you get the curtains.

I really only goofed on ONE level early on on SL's farm. Had to redo that one. Other than that, just look first, then start moving books. You can do this!

 

Thanks Shimmer! It really works. My oldest farm is now in the cherry winning levels. Just waiting on crops/drops to finish.

 

I'M TRYING TO HELP, for ever, first a backround information:

From Nala777's post #20 on this same topic, I watched VIDEOS, Hungarians and I TRIED to make moves from the videos: 37-44 and 45.

I HAVEN'T TRIED IT, yet... so did I write/copy the moves from the video correctly, there were a couple of "reverse moves" there, there may have been mistakes in them when I tried to put only the "remaining moves"! I apologize if I made any mistakes...

But "since I've been getting instructions on these for years" I thought "pay/refund back" I hope they're correct, I'll post below when I have time, I wrote from the videos to paper (because I do it myself, not from a file, because that way I don't have time!) and now from paper to this forum post...

Let's try this patiently, these WILL NOT all COME IN ONE go, I'll write a few and SAVE... then I'll continue... patience if you try to make my attempt.
FINALLY then I'll try it myself (after writing all 9 games from my paper to forum)

I think I was very careful with the moves so far that even if there was a mistake, most players who have completed fields 1-36 would still be able to get to the finish line with "common sense"

37: 86,76, 45,15,31,38,34,35,23,73,76,73,27,2x 47, 2x 12,17,15,2x 81, 86,81,41, 3x 24 and 23

Then I HOPE... that all 9 are 100% right, in VIDEO and also in my "collect" and My writing !

p.s. now all in my 22" monitor, all are in ONE line... maybe...

p.s.2 I myself successfully played through the fields with my notes without making back-moves and the mistakes I made from the video to paper were at the very beginning or at the very end of the fields, so in a way "in good places" in terms of not affecting the playthrough!

* * * I'm sorry, there were a few mistakes * * *

I at least had time to correct those mistakes while playing, but I didn't have time to make any notes in my notes, maybe the rest of you can get through without having to make "return moves", I easily did in the time frame with those notes.
