[Amportant]

are there restrictions on civilizations such as Byzantines with 33% of cost for imperial age? and can we play with standard computer and just boom

opps forgot to ask :/ when does tournament end?

 

[Gentle]

EDIT: Added the civ for this challenge!

I'll be adding challenge #2 which will the free civ variation of this one ^^

There's no deadline on this!
So if someone feels like trying to beat the leaderboard, they can do so anytime!

 

[Sethman]

also, the eco upgrades, researched before clicking imp? or during imping

 

[Gentle]

Before 30 minutes

 

[swissboyy]

4 TCs or 4 TCs minimum?

 

[Gentle]

4 TC's, not less, not more ^^

 

[Gentle]

My first boom to give a quick example!

Pop at 30 minutes was 129 (plus a scout lol). Imp at 00:29:26.

 

[Carlos Ferdinand]

Since the civ is goths it will be auto-win for me

11.

[Gentle]

map pack can be found in this thread

[rmcoo]

Only villagers count? (No military units?)

 

[Gentle]

only vills yes!
EDIT: lol I counted my scout in my example game; 24 24 24 better fix that ^^

 

[VIK_Cage]

129 at 30-00? Its a very small vill population

 

[rmcoo]

129 at 30-00? Its a very small vill population

With only 4TC's allowed... and Wheelbarrow + handcart. it's quite damn hard.

 

129 at 30-00? Its a very small vill population

Because of this

4 TC's, not less, not more ^^

Really kind of takes the fun out of a boom challenge since 4 tc is more a minimum rather than optimum amount. Oh well, still will help ppl get from 1500-1700 I suppose

 

[Ovenka]

Hi, here is my boom

Imperial Age - 28:22, pop 139 at 30:00

 

[swissboyy]

:lol: you r not gentle with him, ik u right but still pls be gentle jaraltuG

 

[Gentle]

I checked ur record ovenka but it's only 134 at 30:00?

For the moment swissboy is at the top with 139 ^^

Do you have a full-length recorded game though? The one you posted here is only the last 8 seconds? Ther's no way to check if u used cheat codes or anything if there's no full length game

5tc boom didn't seem smart as first challenge. 11 I don't want my pockets to start doing 5 tc booms and then dying 'cause they overboomed and are slow as hell :P

 

[TheOtherChris]

120 pop, no scout
29:39 imp

not that far behind gentle :D

 

[Gentle]

Well boomed, added you to the leaderboard!

 

[swissboyy]

Woops, will try to fix that.
Also not sure why my attachment isn't working...
