Mahjong Titans Scoring
I have been figuring out how to get more points in Mahjong Titans. It’s the computer game I told you about in one of my previous posts. I got hooked to it a few weeks ago, and stopped playing last week. Yet, yesterday morning, I decided to play again, to improve my statistics.
According to the help section, the way you can improve your score in this game is to get pairs from the same class, one after the other. I was doing this before but I didn’t think my score got better.
However, I realized that the way I could get more bonus points is that I should try to find all the pairs I could find in the same class until I could not find any pair of that class exposed, then that’s the time I should start finding pairs from another class until I could not find any pair again. This cycle will go on until I could find all the pairs in the board.
There are some instances though that I would not eliminate all pairs especially if there are still a lot of tiles of the same class not exposed. I would just eliminate those tiles I need to eliminate first (because the tile it hides is the one I need the most. It could be a match to another tile at the very far side of the layout).
After doing this strategy, I noticed how fast I could solve most of the puzzles, and yes, my score got better. (Though there are still a lot I could not win.) So far my highest score is 769 points in the cat layout. I am still struggling in the Dragon layout, but my scores in Spider and Fortress aren’t that bad. While in winning percentages, my numbers in Spider and Fortress layouts aren’t that good compare to how I am doing in Crab layout which has 89% winning percentage. Nice eh?
Anyway, here are the screenshots of my scores (so far). (Note: The name on the title bar on the screenshot says Chris though, because the Vista laptop I am using is not mine. But I am the only one playing Mahjong Titans in this laptop. )

I have 1000+ on all layouts. The scoring is explained here, and has nothing to do with how quickly you do it:

Actually, I noticed that too.I had like a 300-second game but my score was low…
I am right now playing more, and looking at the scores closely to see if there are logic behind it. But you just made my life easier by giving a link to a web page I have not found. Thanks a lot mark.

Multipliers most important section. Not sure if doing the winds in n,e,s,w order helps or not.

I just got a high score of 1571 on turtle!
I managed to save up all of the wind-tiles and was able to clear all of them consecutively! => crazy high score

Wow, great! Congrats.

Great post. It is nice to know I’m not the only one who thinks about these things.

Fortress 672
Crab 930

Aside from the 1,000 plus posters, the cat layout is the only impressive one and maybe the crab.

Dragon 707
Cat 1314
Fortress 1051
Crab 1308

It is really difficult to get a 1000+ for Dragon and Spider, but in Crab and Cat layout it is relatively easy to get 1000+ (if you take into account the rules to get high points).

A little off topics: when I choose to create my own mahjong game I took Kyodai and Mahjong Titans as reference. The thing that didn’t satisfy me was the score system so I decided to create combos!
A combo is a series like 2,2 ; 3,3 ; 4,4 … the longer the better. Feel free to give it a try at http://www.in-poculis.com and to send me your feedback

Getting the four seasons and then the four flowers removed will result in a lot of points.
Getting all colors of the winds, greys, greens, reds, and blues will result in even more points, especially if you can get four of one groups at once; if you get multiple groups of four winds, yet more points will pile on. Getting them when you have more than 100 points and higher already is important, as the more points you have, the more bonus points these combinations appear to be worth. My high score in turtle is currently 1548 as a result of sweeping out a large number of winds at the very end of a game.

Turtle 1603
Dragon 806
Cat 1049
Fortress 1117
Crab 1288
Spider 856
I wonder what a “perfect score” would be if all pairs were matched sequentially (point accumulation grows exponentially). The wind tiles are definitely keys to a high score. Turtle seems too have the best payoff… Dragon the least.

Haha , I had tried 720 in turtle .

I improved my high scores, but it seems impossible for me to get a 1000+ for the dragon layout. I played it more than 200 times and is still don’t get to 1000.
Turtle: 1323
Dragon: 927
Cat: 1314
Fortress: 1240
Crab: 1308
Spider: 1017

I concur with the saving of wind tiles being the key to a high score, but that alone is not enough. You can remove them all early in the game and still not get big points. My highest score on Dragon layout (857)came when the winds were positioned on the bottom layer away from the edges of the board, and also when adjacent to one another on the same level. For example, i removed five pairs of winds as the very last tiles, the final pair being next to one another in the centre. I scored over 300 points for those final two tiles alone. This is also relevant to the other tiles. The more they are ‘burried’, the higher the points
