Talk:Reign Supreme (v6.6)/@comment-35200552-20181009160917

After reading through the old Reign Supreme page, it was possible with just R$ upgrades for many, so guess we’ll see. Looks like stage 9 was the one that gave most the biggest headache.

This might be more info than most need but maybe it’ll help some. Bot slowing works. Although it might not in later stages according to the original page. Out of curiousity, ran stage 1-1 Normal, just enough to win. Stage 1-2 autocross I had the same target time as Speed Master Real, 38.387. This is where I tested to see if I could increase the target time and got it to 45.715, so a big difference. It made the bots incredibly slow in the elimination stage 1-3, think I coasted most of the time and guessing averaging 50mph if that, partially unserviced unserviced too.

It still worked for Stage 2-1, bots were super slow and I had a much larger gap between me and the second car than SMR. But seeing as 2-1 is a timed event, I’m assuming it sped up the bots slightly. I tried bot slowing on 2-2 but only once, was able to get the target time up too. On 2-3 chose a different option than SMR & SJ just to see what you could do. I picked the endurance. Initially it was 2.6 miles and I got it down to 1.3 miles. I think more was possible but again figured stage 2-4 would reset bots above where I slowed them too. With the endurance I just waited until the green light, quit the race, and did continue not retry. Each time the distance lowered when I went back in.

The question then becomes, does the bot slowing get somewhat negated by Stage 2, where you have two timed events or any stages with timed events for that matter? I’m assuming so but I’d be interested to hear thoughts from others of what they’ve seen in the past. Bot slowing can make things a bit more boring but with these SE’s and saving a good chunk of gold I don’t mind at all.
