Solo Play Guide
Compete against AI and climb the ratings
1.What is Solo Play?
Solo Play is a mode where you compete seriously against AI characters. Results are reflected in your rating, letting you track your improvement with numbers.
🎯Rating Tracked
Your rating changes based on wins and losses. Beating stronger AI earns more points.
🤖Unique AI Characters
16 AI characters across 4 strength tiers, each with their own strategy and personality.
⚡Instant Match
Just pick a strength tier and start playing. No waiting, no setup needed.
2.How to Start
Solo play is available as soon as you log in.
Select 'Solo Play' from the dashboard
Choose an AI strength tier (Beginner to Expert)
Opponents are automatically selected and the game begins
Your rating updates based on the result
Leaving mid-game counts as a loss. Once you start a game, play it through to the end.
3.AI Characters & Strength Tiers
AI characters are divided into 4 tiers by strength. Higher tiers result in larger rating changes.
★Beginner
AI using basic strategies. Recommended for first-time players.
★★Intermediate
Balanced AI that considers resource management and build timing.
- 🧭ScoutAdventurer. Eager to expand but shortsighted, rarely closes out longest road
- 🔥SparkAggressive. Pokes opponents with the robber but fumbles the endgame
- 🗿ForgeHeavy. Slow start but catches up with late-game production
- 🎮PixelUnorthodox. Quirky moves that sometimes land, but reading stays shallow
- ❄️FrostDefensive. Conserves resources but struggles to close out games
★★★Advanced
Strategic AI that evaluates optimal placement and negotiation.
Choosing a strength tier randomly selects AI from that tier. To handpick specific characters, add AI from Practice Mode or the room lobby.
4.Rating System
A solo play-specific rating quantifies your skill level. Based on the OpenSkill algorithm for fair evaluation.
How It Works
- •Starting rating is 1200
- •Win to gain rating, lose to drop
- •Higher ratings unlock higher AI tiers
- •When a higher tier unlocks, the tier directly below becomes locked (to discourage rating farming)
- •Check your rating and match history on your profile page
