I put another 7-8 plays on a location Hobbit on latest code and still waiting for the software to "click" for me. Can any owners share the best strategies for scoring big points and what to stack? I think my mind just isn't able to grab the complexity of the rule-set yet? Basically I try to continually light and start modes (and work on completing modes) and try to get Smaug Multiball going but I'm never really able to blow up the score or make notable progress. Sometimes I even get the Beast frenzy multiball going along with Smaug. I did get "Into the Fire" started yesterday which was pretty cool but I have no idea how I started it. It seems like most games I can get Smaug started 2-3 times, maybe Beast, and a 5-10 modes but that's about it. I also can't seem to get much over 500-600K points. I'm sure once I really understand everything and figure out the strategy it will be a much more enjoyable game!
