Nah there is absolutely no way you could even afford to make army and sustain production on your TCs. This bastardized Fast imp + 3 TC boom would badly lose to both fast imp and normal boom.If done like grischa did, I guess I can see potential in e.g., "fast boom imp arbalest" for Malay with the ability to add eco throughout, for arena team game. Add bombard cannon asap, keep massing arba off more ranges, etc. It loses to normal fast imp arba but beats a pure boom.
If only someone could just make a boomguide already, the world would be such a better place
None said its impossible to go imp before 23:30 and have 4 tcs built at the same time, 60 vills at 24 min is an awful "boom", with some civs and good play you can get 60 vills at 20 mins (even more with khmer). To remind you, some guy was bragging about his booming skills, what you did is completely useless build and no, its not better than what 95% players do.I also don't think this is the optimal boom but I thought it was a fun challenge and it's probably better then what 95% of players do. Also so many people called it "impossible" I just had defend "hello" from all the people calling them a liar without even trying to do it.
Also @Bella I put the replay in my last post if you are still looking for it.

This sounds like complete bullshit to me. A good fast imp time has a 1 tc imp time of 20-21 minutes. I don't think it's possible in any way to have a 4 tc boom while upping only 2 minutes later
he is full of **** simple as that
See proof, otherwise it is bullshit
As a player who loves to boom even vs AI and knows only to boom, this is not possible 11

It’s called “4TC boom”, everybody else’s in the thread is talking about boom, if you really think 60/24 qualifies as a “boom”, then it’s your problem. Even with Portuguese you can get 61/21, that’s boom. Also, even with Portuguese you can get imp under 21 mins and have 4 TCs at that point, that’s pointless fast imp and it has the same usage as your build.I used Portuguese because it's the worst possible civ to boom with (no eco bonus) other civs obviously could up to castle and imp faster and therefore have more vills.
This is more like "Having 4TC running before getting imp in 23 min" than a boom. Bad TC placement, no bowsaw, no horse collar, 14 farms, losing tons of gold for food.I present to you "The Impossible boom" I made it at 23:47 with no TC idle time and 61 vills with about 1k7 res in the bank. No fish, No eco bonus 2 Elephants and 8 goats no deer. (I did pause the game 2-3 times to place the 3 TCs or market blacksmith etc.)
I challenge you all to beat this. (it should not be very hard)
