As for general strategy, you want to force your opponent to only move where you allow him to, then restrict that area and use the space to make mills. A tip: going first is highly beneficial, always do so in this game.
*** Spoiler - click to reveal *** If you want to legitimately get better at a three-century old game that has fallen out of popular culture just to get an achievement, then by all means, practice is the best approach. If you're still having trouble, relax, think each throw through, and keep trying, you will get the hang of it eventually and he will mess up eventually. a lob to the far back of the field will roll about twice as far as a lob aimed as short as possible Note that the edges of the field are sloped and that your bowls will roll farther if they're thrown farther, i.e. When aiming, note that the part of the crosshairs pointing vertically is the exact direction your bowl will roll (assuming you throw accurately and aren't too close to the edges of the field) This should be obvious if you recognize what it is (and, mind you, it took me about five games to figure this out), but after you aim when you start to throw, the circle on the crosshairs that shrinks then expands is the accuracy of the shot, try to throw so that it's as small as possible, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time Use a lob throw if you are trying to be accurate/controlled and not trying to powerfully knock your opponents bowls away, but this still usually rolls further than I expect, so aim accordingly, on the other hand, when you're trying to knock your opponent's balls away/knock your balls closer, use a standard throw and be sure to aim short of what you're trying to hit, as it will roll quite a bit from where it lands If it's your turn to throw the jack, try to throw your first bowl so it stops rolling as close to the jack as possible (preferably touching) on the side closer to you, your opponent will usually try to knock your bowl to side in a way that his bowl bounces closer to the jack, but since yours is directly behind the jack, he won't be able to (at least not as well) Use the tactical camera, it allows for an overview of the field and finer alterations in targeting *** Spoiler - click to reveal *** Regardless of your strategic abilities, winning the game of Bowls is just a matter of taking a few tries to get a feel for the game and somewhere along the line, your opponent will likely not do terribly well, so the win will come. Nine Men's Morris won't be available until you complete the Homestead Mission: Room at the Inn, which is unlocked around the end of Sequence Six, assuming you've done all of the previously available Homestead Missions.īowls is unlocked with the completion of Homestead Mission: Bowls Beginner (the fourth and final mission for Godfrey & Terry), which, I believe, is only available after doing quite a few other Homestead Missions and can be unlocked as early as the end of Sequence Six. The Homestead game of Fanorona unlocks during Sequence Five very shortly after unlocking the Homestead. Located directly north of the tavern stated above, this is just lawn bowling and luckily, not against terribly difficult opponents.Įach of the three minigames unlocks at a different point in the progression of the game, but all are available to you during the infinite mode after you complete the main story, so this isn't missable.
The intermediate-difficulty game of Bowls. Located in the tavern, "Miles' End," (essentially directly between the entrance to the Homestead from the Frontier and the manor) and is another highly-strategic board game but this one can either end rather quickly or one match could drag on for more than twenty minutes if you get unlucky. The expert-difficulty game of Nine Men's Morris. This is the only game located inside "The Manor" (almost the center of the map) and is a relatively quick, highly strategic, Chinese Checkers-esque board game. The expert-difficulty game of Fanorona against Achilles (after Homestead mission "Legacy," it's against Timothy). Win at least once at each of the following games, all located in the Homestead:
