ESOC is excited to announce the ESOC Bounty Board. The bounty board is a chance for players old and new alike to compete for cash prizes outside of ESOC’s tournaments and events. Each month, two challenges will be posted in the dedicated Bounty Board section of the forums for everyone to complete. The challenges will come in two varieties with different ways to win. In order to be eligible to win, you must be a subscriber of the ESOC Twitch Channel.

Perpetual:
Perpetual challenges are available for everyone to win. Complete the challenge marked perpetual, and claim a $5 USD reward. This contest is eligible for the first 20 winners.

Last Man Standing:
The Last Man Standing prize is only for one lucky player. The challenge will be open ended, with entries to claim the $100 USD prize closing on the final day of the calendar month.

November is upon us, and so are the first bounties.

A great initiative to bring back Aklak.

neat! for the KOTH award, is that total game res, or 100k, in the bank? (I am guessing 100k in the bank)

in the bank, thanks for clarifying.

any map restrictions?

No maps with islands in the perpetual (due to AI having issues with that right now) and no custom maps.

Bounty #1

Bounty #1: AI's and Economy

Perpetual : Beat the AI 1v7 on the highest difficulty setting. No handicap is allowed for either side. Map must not contain islands. Proof via replay required.

King of the Hill : Gather 100K coin as fast as you can. The winner will be the individual who successfully gathers 100K coin as shown in their bank the fastest. All civilizations and all cards are allowed. Proof via replay required to claim the cash prize.

The vs 7ai, is it sup only or can be tr?

Sup

I guess you have to play the AI in TR mode for the 100k challenge? so that they do not rush you at all.

Or is there another mode for this? I forget how they did it for the fastest to imperial times

I wonder if the fastest time will even go to imperial.... maybe just sea boom, with a map with some cows, and then fur trade.

Anywhere in particular you want our proof recs posted as well?

Hold on to them for now, more to come on that.

1v1 spawn only for the 100k coin challenge?

Fun idea

Do you need to start in age 1?

Ok thanks so im guessing no handi either

correct

crate stealing allowed?

can you explain what this is and how to do it for all the newcomers? thank you

aren't the gather rates with respect to time different on single player and multiplayer?

I used to host challenges on WOL server ,@n0el for the KOTH you said gather 100k the fastest ,the problem with that being you can only see in post game how much you have gathered ,because you might be spending gold on upgrades and you may miss calculate gold gathered and totally mess up the challenge ,make it 100k unspent so it will be easier?

just launch a game on a map with you and 1 other player

no ffa with 8 players or 4v4s or 1v7 spawns as you get much more res on the map

25:58 100k coin banked -- first time first strat, just to put up a fence somewhere in the outfield so we've got a ballpark.
