McKinsey Problem Solving Game (Solve): Full Game Reveal

Welcome to our making the S game

simulation walkr in this video we'll

show you something that's never been

done before also the complete assessment

covering ecosystem creation Red Rock

study and plan defense games that our

prep matter team has created I highly

encourage you to solve the game along

with me so you can experience the game

firsthand also make sure to visit our

website prep matter to get access to

this interactive simulation this would

be your best resource for scoring well

in this assessment and it is almost half

the price of our only competitor

offering a comparable interactive game I

should mention that we created many

different scenarios and possible answers

for each of those three games so you can

play our simulation game after watching

this video as well while this video is

solely about the complete Game walkth

through if you're interested in learning

in detail about the features of each

game as well as our tips and tricks to

assess this assessment watch our other

video too let's begin

me on LinkedIn I'm always eager to

connect with aspiring consultants and

will be very happy to answer your

questions in in this video I'll cover

the ecosystem creation game first

followed by the Red Rock study this will

be the best representation of making

Soul game towards the end we'll also go

over plant defense even though this game

was recently replaced by Redrock study

let's play it safe in case maky decides

to introduce this game all right let's

begin prep matter simulation I'll choose

ecosystem cor Reef in task one as we

start the game we first have the

introduction let's read it as the island

Steward over seeing numerous species

across diverse ecosystems you're now in

charge of expanding a sustainable

habitat in The corter Reef your goal is

to establish a new habitat within the

existing region of the island fostering

eight species that can Thrive and form a

balanced food web rely on the guide book

and monitors to select species that

contribute to a stable ecosystem with

time pause let's get familiar with the

instructions our objectives are to

select eight species that will survive

as an ecosystem

choose the location of the ecosystem and

submit it on the right we have our

monitor indicators and at the bottom we

have the guide book species and location

selection let's review the task rules

and available species in the guide

book on the left I can see the species

and their requirements you can click add

to add them to our species selection

list and we can see the eating rules on

the right it's a bit complicated so

let's read them to make make sure that

we are clear the species with the

highest calories provided eats first it

consumes its food source with the

highest calories provided in case of a

tie it eats equally from both species

when a full source is eaten its calories

provided decrease permanently by an

amount equal to the eating species

calories needed if the eating species

needs more calories it eats another food

source based on cured calories provided

then species with the next highest

current calories provided eat species

that end with their calories needed

fully met and more than zero calories

provide a survive I know it's a bit

complicated but as we start solving it

it will make a lot of sense all right

everything is clear to me let's begin

I'd like to pick the location first to

do this we should first identify which

four monitors are relevant for that

let's refer to the species

card I see depth range temperature range

water current range and salt content

range now I'll hover around and pick a

point you can always change it if

needed in ecosystem creation games all

producers and animals typically inhabit

three different dep ranges since I chose

a value about 100 m I should be already

eliminating 2/3 of the entire producers

and animals let's start with the

producers I'll take the ones who can

live in the death range of 100 and above

these species are red

moss C

fan and sea

lettuce now let's move to the

animals to make my life easier I'll open

the cards of each animal one by one and

leave the ones open who can survive in

My Chosen death range for the sake of

this video though I'll keep this section

brief and only mention the species that

can survive in our chosen death range

all right blue jellfish can survive in

our death range let's keep this

open glass squid works great great white

sharken green cotal can survive as

well lantern fish and loggerhead sea

turtle can inhabit our death range seor

chin

shrimp and Spade fish can inhabit our

death range let's keep the cars open and

lastly swordfish can survive in our

chosen death range let me

count all

right so we are left with 10 animals

that can live in the death range there

are three other requirements too

temperature water current and salt

content ranges I'll check at the end if

all species requirements are fully met

as well now we need to pick five animals

out of those 10 let me write down the

producers on my paper

first I'll put my Legend on the top

right writing the species

name and in Brackets calories

provided and then calories

needed red moss provides 3,000

calories and requires

done

cfan

offers

3,500 calories and also requiring

none and C letter

is much like red moss provides 3,000

calories and requires none great I have

it all

written now we must select an animal

that consumes these producers let's

review the list

Blue Jellyfish consume both red moss and

sea

Letts while green sea turtles feed on

one producer but also prey on other

animals similarly loggerhead sea turtles

feed on one producer and other animals

as

well SE or chins consume two

producers sh shrimp also feed on to

producers Spade fish eat sea fan alone

and

swordfish they don't Feit on any of our

producers I'll not down only those that

feed on one or two producers exclusively

to keep complexity to a minimum starting

with the Blue

Jellyfish they provide 4,500 calories

and need

3,000 they'll feed on red moss and C

lettus now let's illustrate it with

arrows next we consider

seurin

2,100 calories

provided with a need of

3,000 feasting on c fan and C lettuce so

C fan and C

lettuce then comes

shrimp offering

2,750 calories and they need

1,450 feing on sea

lettuce and lastly let's look at Spade

fish Spade fish provide by 2,100

calories and they need

2,400 and they only consume Caan

okay before introducing another animal

we should ensure our ecosystem is

balanced the Blue Jellyfish with the

highest calorie provision will consume

red moss and cettus equally leaving each

with 1,500 calories

next the shrimp will also feed on red

moss and cettus equally

taking

725 from each which leaves both with

775 calories however since sea urchin

and Spade fish both offer the same

calories they'll split their food source

given Sean's higher calor provision

they'll consume it equally unfortunately

this exhaust C entirely which is not

sustainable so we may have to remove

Spade fish from our

ecosystem this leaves sea urchin

consuming 3,000 calories from Caan

leaving Caan with a remaining 500

calories a sustainable scenario we now

have three producers and three animals

necessitating the addition of two more

animals to our

ecosystem let's consider our existing

animals and determine which Predators

feed on them continuing to build our

food pyramid Blue Jellyfish let's look

into

that Blue Jellyfish are prayed upon one

animal let's go to

shrimp they serve us food for three

animals let's look at sea orchin

they are consumed by two to simplify

we'll choose an animal that PRS on Blue

Jellyfish and that is the loggerhead sea

turtle let's write it

down logger head SE total they provide

4,400 calories and they need

4350 they have multiple potential food

sources but they'll Target blue jellfish

first because of the higher calorie

count the jell fishes 4,500 calories

fully

satisfy the SE Turtles needs leaving a

surplus of 150 calories

excellent we now need one final animal

let's see who feeds on loggerhead sea

turtle it's a great white shark well add

us to our documentation let's write it

down great white shark has a calorie

provision of

6,000 and they need

4,250 calories feeding on the lger head

sea turtle which offers more calories

than the shark needs it's great this

confirms our food web is sustainable all

right now that we've selected our

species as I promised I need to just

quickly make sure that all the species

we've selected can survive in this

particular location we are sure about

the death range I'm just going to

quickly check if they can also survive

within the temperature water current and

salt content ranges so let's just do a

quick run let's start with the

temperature first let's go through all

the species that we've

selected and compare it with the

location that we've selected as

well

okay all right there doesn't seem to be

any huge problem they can all live

within this temperature range uh let's

just do quickly with the water current

as well now I'm just going to quick go

through our species that we've selected

making sure that they are also within

that water current I'm pretty sure they

are

okay fine there's no problem with it too

great lastly salt content I also don't

think there is going to be any problem

but it's always good to be

safe fantastic yeah I don't see any

problem here I think we're pretty much

done let's finalize our assessment by by

clicking complete task let's check our

results all right all our species can

survive fantastic great job let's switch

gears to the Red Rock study in this

segment I'll tackle one of the men

scenarios available on our interactive

course we'll start by walking through

the introduction together welcome to

Redrock Island as a new research

assistant your responsibility will be to

utilize data gathered in the field to

contribute to various studies and cases

here at Redrock labs

our approach to studies is structured in

a three-stage system investigation

analysis and Report during the

investigation phase we'll Swift through

collected observations and pinpoint the

most pertinent data points moving on to

the analysis stage we will scrutinize

the data and execute calculations based

on the studies questions we can trag any

movable data point into the research

journal for later use the research

Journal is our tool to review reorder

highlight and label collected data

points let's hit

continue in the report stage we'll craft

and submit written and visual reports

grounded in our analysis remember we can

navigate back to the information from

the investigation stage if you're in the

analysis stage after tackling the study

we will encounter cases these are

concise questions exploring various

research topics information from cases

is the distinct from the studies and

other cases all right with that

framework in mind let's dive in the

study investigates the ecosystem in Nils

which is one of the largest mountain

ranges in the Ops as we covered before

we need to drag some information to the

research Journal that we think we need

to use later in the case Okay the

objective is to analyze the changes in

the different ecosystems variables such

as snowfall Glacier area and the number

of species in Nils let's track this

already and read the study

information Nils is a mountain range

based in Northern Italy they have a high

series of mountains ranging from an

altitude of 2,000 M to 4,200 m in this

area there are plenty of lakes though

Nils host the highest number of lakes in

the Alps the number of lakes it has has

decreased significantly over the past

years it has 19 Lakes down from 23 10

years ago and from 25 20 years ago on

top of the great laks the area has one

of the largest glaciers in the world the

glaciers cover an area of 150 square

kilm this figure is also down from 170

square kilm 10 years ago wildlife in

Nils is also quite diverse compared to

the neighboring areas there are 283

species including 97 animals and 186 PL

plants these numbers are also down from

the previous decades as Wildlife remains

in danger with the increasing impact of

climate change in addition to these

natural characteristics the facilities

in ntil area have grown with a

tremendous Pace in the past decades

currently the region hauls 47 hotels 16

climbing camps and three tea houses on

the mountains all right it was a longw

written context let's examine the

exhibits the first exhibit presents

average snowfall statistics by month

with orange bars indicating average

snowfall in inches and a blue line

representing the number of snowfall days

per month both metrics hit their peak in

January and February as

expected the second exhibit illustrates

average snow death by month where the

orange area indicates the average base

death and the combined orange and green

areas reflect the average Summit dep in

inches peing around March

interesting before we progress to the

analysis phase it's crucial we transfer

the necessary information to the

research Journal while it is possible to

revisit the investigation phase during

analysis it could result in penalties

given our goal to analyze snowfall

Glacier area and species number I'll

play it safe and drag over any data

point related to these

aspects we'll skip the out to the data

as it seems unrelated

now regarding the number of legs and

their Trends it seems wise to drag all

five data points 19 legs 23 legs 10

years 25 legs and 20

years following this we have data on

glaciers let's secure all of it

150 and 170 square kilm

plus the 10year

marker next up we encounter species data

which could be useful let's select 283

species 97 animals and 186

plants the final paragraphs details on

infrastructure don't pertain to snowfall

Glacier areas or species so we'll lit

these data

points in terms of the exhibits I

suggest we drag pretty much all the data

points to be thoro to keep things

organized let's first move the average

snowfall data points it's going to take

me some time to drag it so let's do that

now but in the meantime I must say that

unfortunately you have to do these kind

of things because you can go back

earlier but then once you're in the

report phase you really cannot so it's

better to be

safe all right I'm pretty much done with

dragging all data points all

right although there are numerous data

points on the right each comes with a

title and we can always click on the

data point to get more

information It's relatively

straightforward I won't rename any data

points or mark them as important for now

but if you feel the need you can always

to do so for

clarity now let's advance to the

analysis stage here we'll respond to

questions using the information from the

investigation section the calculator

will be a handle tool for some of these

calculations here's the first question

what is the difference in the number of

snowfall days between the month

receiving the highest average snowfall

and the lowest average snowfall between

November and may we need to First find

the number of snowfall days in the month

receiving the highest ever snowfall

let's refer to our research Journal I

remember we drag some data points from

the exhibits

earlier let's find which month has the

highest average snowf

it is February with 11 days of snowfall

now let's determine the month with the

lowest number of snowfall days

again all right it appears to be

May with no snowfall days recorded

therefore the difference is 11 days

we'll document this in the research

journal for future

reference let's move to to the second

question how much higher in percentages

is the difference between the highest

and the lowest average snow death values

for the summit compared to that of the

base between December and April first we

need to calculate the difference in snow

death at the summit let's consult our

research journal to identify the month

with the deepest snow at the

summit all right I'm still

looking great March is the

peak with 47

Ines considering our time frame from

December to

April let's take a

look

December has the shallowest snow with 10

in resulting in a 37 in

difference now let's examine the base

sow that values we'll find the highest

first all

right April has the highest base depth

at 35 in and for the lowest let's take a

look at it

again it's December again with 8 in

making a 27 in difference since we need

to calculate how much higher the summit

difference is compared to the base will

subtract 27 from 37

in and divide the results by 27 in to

get the percentage so let's use the

calculator it comes out to

37% our third question is what are the

percentage reductions in the number of

legs and glaz coverage areas in the ntil

region over the past 10 years I

understand we have two sub questions to

address let's begin with the first one

the percentage decrease in the number of

lakes over the past 10 years we'll refer

back to our research Journal where we

previously noted relevant data

points all right there were 23 Lakes a

decade ago

let's look at the current one now there

are only

19 to calculate the percentage change

we'll take 23 -

19 and divide by

23 let's use a

calculator that gives us a decrease of

177%

excellent now for the second sub

question the percentage decrease in the

glacier coverage Consulting the research

Journal once more we see that the

glacier area was 170 square kilm 10

years ago but it is not reduced to 150

to find a percentage difference we

subtract 150 from

170 and divide by

170 that comes out to about

12% now I'm prepared for the next

question what is the month with the

highest percentage difference between

the average Summit death and the average

base

death and how much is the percentage

difference in that month great I've got

the necessary data points previously

moved to my research Journal let's see

what we've got if needed we can always

review the exhibit worst

case all

right now I'll work out the percentage

difference between the average Summit

death and the average base death for

each month

although the calculator shows the

answers I'll jot them down too on my

paper to ensure

accuracy for

December the summit depth is 10

in and the base depth

is 8 in so the difference is

25% 10 / 8 - 1

moving to

January we need to divide

23

by

14 and subtract one let's use the

calculator we get

64% for February

we need to

divide let's

see that's 31

by

19 minus 1 so let's use a calculator

again it will be

63% let's move to the next month March

we need to divide

47 by let's check the

figure

33 minus 1 it will be 42%

okay finally we have April we need to

divide let's check the value

42

by

35 and let's minus

one

20% looking over my

notes generary has the highest

difference at

64% perfect we reach the report stage of

the study this part is not my favorite

since we cannot revisit previous

sections if we needed to that's that's

why I moved as much information as

possible into research Journal

earlier I see 10 answer fields that we

need to complete we'll start by

identifying the month with the highest

average snowfall marked by 11 snowfall

days this was part of the first question

we answered but we didn't specify the

month then let's refer to our

investigation journal to pinpoint the

correct

month all right this might take some

time

all right the answer

is

February with an average of 31 in of

snowfall the next answer field concerns

the month with the least average

snowfall excluding may I recall

identifying two months with zero

snowfall days let's review our research

Journal once more

indeed it's

November that recorded the least

snowfall as noted before this month had

no snowfall days all right let's move

on between December and April the

difference in snow death at the summit

was measured at what inches I remember

this was one of the questions we

answered earlier let's look at our

Journal

all right I think I'm getting there yeah

here we go correct the difference at the

Summit is 37 in we just calculated it

now let's determine the difference at

the base all right it stands at 27

in for the percentage change we can look

back at the journal or recalculate it

I'll use a calculator for

accuracy subtracting 27

from 37

yields 10 dividing 10 by

27 gives us approximately

37% yes this matches what we found

earlier next we need to decide if the

number of legs and Glacier coverage in

the ntil region has increased or

decreased in the past 10 years I

remember it was decreasing let's select

that we now need to quantify the

percentage decrease in the number of

lakes let's look at the research

journal the change is

177% okay I also need to find the same

for the glacier coverage as well let's

take a

look all right the change is

12% lastly we need to inputs how many

species the region hosts I remember

dragging this data point earlier let's

go over the

journal great it's

283 with that I've complete the written

report and now it is time to select the

appropriate graph we need to choose a

chart that effectively illustrates the

maximum and minimum snowfall amounts and

the number of snowfall days in Winter

which are December January and February

we have three chart options a bar graph

a line graph or a pie chart the bar

graph seems most fitting since we have

two distinct categories snowfall and

snowfall days and we're comparing the

extremes I'll enter the values into the

table

methodically for the winter months we

need a minimum and maximum snowfall days

back to research Journal let's take a

look at

it it appears December has a the fewest

snowfall days at

8 while both January and February have

the most at 11 days each let's note

these

figures now for the snowfall amounts

revisiting to

journal December also had the least

snowfall at 19

in and February had the most at 31 in

we'll record these as well all right now

our chart is in shape it makes a lot of

sense but to be safe I'll quickly click

on the other two chart types making sure

that they are not suitable for this data

set looking at the line chart first it

just looks odd to me lines don't have

any purpose to them since we are not

showing tens of different time periods

let's look at the P graph again it

doesn't make sense to me we use py

graphs to show the share of one unit in

your total portfolio so let's go back

and choose the bar chart as our answer

all right we finally finished my least

favorite part of the game now we're at

the cases section we no longer need to

use the research Journal so hopefully it

will speed things up let's read The

Prompt of the first case Nils is a

mountain range in the greater Alps

region that HS one of the highest number

of species these species are categorized

under two buckets animals and plants

while the breakdown within each category

can be seen in the table below all right

let's now read the question if the

number of flowers were as many as the

number of trees in Nils how much would

the number of total species increase in

percentages to determine the current

total we add all the numbers in the

table using the calculator we sum up 11

21

39 26

56 126 and

101 the totals

380 now to figure out the increase we

see there are 126 trees and 56 flowers

if the flowers match the number of trees

we would have an additional 126 minus

56 which is 70 more adding 70 to our

current total of 380 let's see that

it gives us 450 let's enter

this next we calculate the percentage

increase we divide 450 by 380 and

substract

1 this gives us an increase of about 18%

we'll input this percentage into the

answer

field let's read the second

case climate experts foresee that the

Meltdown in glaciers will accelerate

over the next decades while the current

glaciers cover an area of 150 square km

it used to cover 170 a decade ago the

proportion of glaciers that melt will be

8 percentage points higher over the next

10 years compared to that in the past

decade and the question is what is the

expected Glacier coverage level 10 years

from now first we need to calculate the

percentage of Glacier loss over the past

decade we take the current coverage of

150 s km and divided by the previous 170

square

km and subtracting one we have a loss of

around

12% now with the expected increase in Ms

of 8 percentage points we add us to our

current loss reaching an estimated 20%

loss this means that the Glaciers are

predicted to decrease by an additional

20% in the next

decade multiplying

80% which is the remaining Glacier

proportion by the current coverage of

150 gives us 120 square

kilm we'll choose this option and

proceed to the next

case the ministry of environment made a

new plan to protect the wildlife and

Nils the plan is composed of three steps

Banning human activity that would risk

Wildlife planting additional species to

Foster diversity in the area capturing

animals that detate the wildlife the

chart below shows the expected impact of

all three steps in the realistic and

conservative scenarios the impact is

measured by the number of animal species

prevented from Extinction the chance of

realization by each scenario is also

detailed in the chart below all right we

have three charts showing exactly that

the question is approximately how many

animal species would be saved if the

realistic scenario is realized for all

three activities this quite

straightforward we multiply the

anticipated number of species saves

indicated by orange Bars by the

probability of each measure success and

add totals by limiting human activities

we can potentially save eight species at

a 60% success rate let's put this in the

calculator that is 4.8 species through

additional planting we can say five

species with is 75%

chance and that equals 3.75 species

finally by capturing detrimental animals

we can save for species with an 80%

likelihood resulting in 3.2 species

saved adding these figures all

together we approximate a total of 12

species saved let's select this as our

answer

all right we're now addressing the

fourth case this case focuses on

benchmarking best practices for species

preservation against other mountain

ranges worldwide including Andes Fuji

Himalayas and Nils and index ranging

from 20 to 70 represents the success

score of these efforts let's read the

question before the loss of species

there used to be 106 animal species in

the highest scoring region and 74 animal

species in the lowest scoring region

what is the approximate percentage Point

difference between the proportions of

total animal species that were lost in

the two regions first we need to

identify the region with the lowest

score the exhibit indicates it's the

Himalayas Nepal to find a proportion

lost we divide the number of species

lost by the initial count the Himalayas

lost 17 species out of an initial 7 four

let's do the

math this gives us about

23% we'll keep this figure in mind next

we calculate for the highest scoring

region let's look at the exibit it is

Fuji Japan following a similar approach

we divide the number of species lost by

the original count in Fuji 11 out of 106

species were lost calculating

this we get approximately

10% the difference between these two

proportions is 13% let's move on this

case examines the effect of climate

change on the snowfall and snow

thickness in the ntil region the experts

for see that as a result of alarming

speed of climate change the snowfall

will decrease as a snowfall distribution

across different months will be

disrupted over the next decades that

means the proportion of total snowfall

received each month would change these

changes would significantly affect the

wildlife and the landscape at the Nils

recent studies show that the drop in the

total snowfall can be as high as 12%

while this magnitude can be as high as

18% in months that are affected the most

on the other hand results indicate that

snowfall will occur later than usual in

the next decades let's look at the

exhibit we're seeing the expected

snowfall and a snow death in 20 years

and the question is the following each 4

in increase in snowfall causes a 3in

increase in Summit death and a 2 in

increase in the base death the following

month how much would they expect a

summit death and base death values in

May if the snowfall in April increased

by

25% all right that's a bit complicated

let's try to solve

it in April the snowfall is 16 in if it

increases by 25% the increase in the

snowfall level in May will be 25% of 16

so 4

in we know that 4 in increase in

snowfall causes a 3-in increase in

Summit dep hence at the summit the

expected level will be 5 + 3 Let's do

over the

calculator 8 in at the base we know that

4 in increase causes a 2in increase in

base depth hence the new level at the

space will be 2 + 2 4 in after all we

didn't use the long written information

at the start of the case let's move to

the final case the three largest legs in

the Nils are lagon noo lagota and lagalo

these legs are hosting the most diverse

ecosystems in the entire Alps region

while these leges are the largest leges

in the region they have shrunk

significantly over the past years the

shrinkage has affected the diversity and

the number of species in in the leges as

well the change has been observed across

two areas decreasing the number of

species some of the species have become

extinct and some others have been moved

to another area by government agencies

to be protected from Extinction

decreasing the number of animals by

species the number of animals also

decreased significantly across all kinds

of species there's also a table showing

the change in Four Lakes over the past

decade let's read the question the table

below shows the expected change in the

ecosystem within the next 10 years which

chart below visualizes best the

information in the table below we need

to choose a waterfall scatter plot or a

very wide graph we're now looking at a

table with three to four segments

representing different ecosystems and

three indicators for each this setup

calls for a clear visual representation

in this scenario a scatter plot seems to

be the best choice let's input the

values and see how the table shapes up

all

right here we

go this table is quite comprehensible

effectively showing the three indicators

across all four ecosystems let's compare

this with the waterfall chart once I

look at it doesn't seem to provide a

clear breakdown of the three indicators

let's move to the varii Chart it also

falls short in clearly displaying all

the necessary information so so the

scatter plot is going to be our best bet

with that we wrapped up the Red Rock

game at the end of pratter simulation

you get a summary of your performance

let's see how I did the analysis for

part one looks good the report for part

one is also solid and all the questions

in part two are correct there's an

option to review submitted answers to go

through the entire assessments and

pinpoint any mistakes if You' like you

can also download the answer sheet for a

detailed explanation of each

question now let's dive into one of the

plan defense scenarios this will give

you a grasp of the key game Dynamics and

some tips to excel it's important to

note that at present plan defense has

been replaced by the Red Rock study so

I'll only demonstrate one of the three

plan defense games once you access prep

meta Soul simulation you can practice

all three games and since our software

generates each game randomly you'll

always encounter different maps and

variable sets allowing for extensive

practice I personally had a lot of fun

playing plan defense games all right

let's begin similar to the other games

we see a set of instructions at the

start our goal is to keep the Invaders

away from the native plant as long as

possible the objective is displate on

the top right and the guide book on the

bottom left we can use different actions

like terrain transformation and defend

as defense mechanisms once our plan is

complete we need to click run plan and

start

implementing we can easily track our

plan actions and we can edit our actions

that haven't been implemented yet as

well all

clear Invaders appear regularly the

number associated with an Invader

indicates its population size and we can

see the pl we're protecting in the

middle of the grid let's begin the test

let's first understand our invader

is a fox with a population of

135 and is slowed by rocket

terrain I want to understand the

specifics of our defense mechanisms we

have rocky Forest Cliff rock python and

coyote since rocket terrain slows the

folks down let's start with that I'll

pick a spot that's closer to the native

plan I'll build another one now we

should pick an animal to reduce the

population of the Fox let me pick rock

python as its damage is quite

significant I'll place it on both Rocky

terrains let's check how much hit points

we would have in each turn we can hit 50

since the fox will be slowed down due to

the rocket terrain we can reduce 200 of

the folks population which is more than

enough to diversify let's put a forest

next to the native

plan interesting now a new Invader

appeared let's see if if we need to

revise our plan I'll stick with my plan

because the forest can slow down

groundhogs as well all right I need to

decide on my action plan for the next

five turns now let's put a forest to

slow them down I need to put some

animals now to inflict damage on the

groundhogs I'll pick rock python as

their damage is 50 and place them in

both

forests let's diversify resources I'll

pick

coyote but we can't put it anywhere we

like let me place it somewhere

closer let's Place another one and run

the

plan great the fox is depleted the

groundhog population reduced a lot

already but now we have another set of

groundhogs at the bottom of the map

let's edit the

plan just checking the potential hit

points it's not

enough we need to do something about it

let's Place rock python in the forest

since groundhogs will slow down we can

double the hit

points okay now we can hit 80 * 2 160

just in the forest grid alone it should

work out let's

continue now we have our final five

actions to plan since we can easily kill

the groundhogs with our current setup

I'm not worried about putting more

measures to SL them down so let's try to

build some defense around some empty

areas of the grid closer to the native

plant I'll put a forest in two

grits and place some coyote to create

significant damage all right I feel

confident about the setup let's see if

it's

sustainable perfect we survived 24 turns

which is greater than the initial

objective of 15 this concludes the video

if you'd like to experience the game

yourself and maximize your chances to

pass the assessment check out prep metas

making a solve simulation best of luck
