Bilging

Just thought I'd write up my ideas on bilging etc.

I'm 69th on the ocean I think, nothing special but still, I realise a lot of people hate bilging/can't do it.

Basically, my strategy is just to make an EXCESSIVE amount of small combos - I don't go for Donkeys/Vegases, just 3X3s and the odd Bingo.

Here's quite a nice bilging first league - it pretty much outlines the general strategy. Notice how the pump is gold gushing in only a few moves - the key to a first league incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yinfUFPDEYU

I think the main tip I can give is... Remember you have 10 seconds for EVERY move you do before you get penalised. 10 seconds! The game is marked on efficiency of moves, so using the minimum possible is important.

I personally rate combos worth as -

Single 3 - Slightly less than a move
Single 4/5 - Slightly more than a move
3X3, 3X4 or 3X5 - Slightly more than 3 moves
4X4, 4X5 or 5X5 - Slightly more than 4 moves
Bingo - 6 moves
Donkey - 10 moves

I don't know if that helps, but I do disagree with other peoples figures on some things

Anyway, happy bilging!
