Quoted from slochar:
So it increments itself when you hit it? Yeah, that sounds like you should have to do something else to increment it. Maybe not the drops because you could get it to high values relatively easy early on since the hands you have to complete are 'short'. The 3's targets are they particularly dangerous?
A really mean setting would be complete all the hands to advance it..... ha! Isn't there a spot card lane somewhere on the playfield?
Anything would be better than hit, bounce, hit, bounce, hit, bounce.....
Yeah, every hit is an increment.
The three "deuces" targets are only risky because you'd have to use the third flipper to bang them out or have a good shot from the lower playfield. But anything up there gets into the pops, so your risk is in their unpredictabiliy. They eventually max out on special too, but you get a reasonable "advance card multiplier" and 30k points for the other two completions. Maybe something like every time the three "deuces" are completed, you advance the right target, but the original 30k, card advance, and special only cycle every 1, 3, and 5 times respectively.
There are the 4 card rollovers at the top of the playfield, but I think getting up there and hitting them all is pretty tough and leans more towards chance than skill.
There's a "spot card when lit" on the outlane switches that feed the flippers. I would think for a good tournament player (I'm not one) that knocking hands out would be as easy as hitting the right target since it's less risky that moving the ball to the top of the playfield to get those deuces.
I guess there aren't a lot of KoS fans out there becasue of its right target reputation, but it could've been an EBD lite.
