is it better to get the queen, king, and gramps last or as soon as possible?

I have a suspicion that if you get the royals early some islands might disappear around when you reach 4100m or 4200m, but this is probably just my imagination.

As for the final size you reach in Eternal, it looks like depending on which continent you start the final area on, you either reach right around 4270m, 4290m or 4296m. As far as I can tell this is the case whether you get the royals right away or wait on them.

My guess is that it doesn't matter much in Eternal whether you get the royals early or if you save them for last (like I like to do :) )

Yoda may be more help than me; he certainly will be with the 100 Points question (I haven't got an answer for that one).

no chance of getting a 4300 then?

:woot I can't say for sure of course, but it doesn't seem like it.

But everybody else has gotten a little bigger than me in Royal Monument Eternal, so I really don't know if any of what I said in my last post was right or not. There are probably methods I don't know about.

i can't seem to even come close to my current ranking board score...seems like i can't come close to any of my current ranking board scores...

can you get the same scores in both normal and eternal?

You can certainly get ranking board scores from both normal and eternal. My scores in eternal are always better because I can take as long as I want and focus on picking up as many things as possible: pick up small things, enter buildings when you're just under 75cm and 4m, when I'm about 20m scour the 1.5-10m-type area at the far end of the water, etc., I do those things whether I'm focusing on a specific ranking (red, metal, etc) or not.

:doh I don't know whether I answered your question.

Oh, by the way, you're not alone, I have tried royal monument eternal going for rankers twice in the last two days, and I have only increased my bests in 3 or 4 categories.

it seems that no matter how many times i play the royal monument in eternal....i never get any 1st place scores on my ranker board. I kinda wish i knew exactly how it was scored.
