Sample Howdah BO: TP-Distributivism-Good Faith-300E (Ottoman Vills)- Foreign Logging - Tower of Power - 1000 G/Fur Trade - Elephant Combat

13:27 (This is beatable I know. Just a sample BO to get people started).

[miggo1999_]

Just had a 11:25 tming but I missed like 100ress to get out the last howdah :(

[uberjz]

i bet @CaRp wins

[Peachrocks]

So hang on. The revolt one. Is that have the max economy and then revolt or have the max economy after revolting? I interpreted it the second way.

99 vills first

[GKShaman]

Also this was my best Lakota attempt for Convert. 10:35

4 vills - 5v - Market HD 400W ageup - 700W 3TP Stagecoach and then - 700 F - 700 G - 600 G - Evening Star.

Beat me!

[jadd1]

Best attempt so far for 70 pop convert challenge is 9:10!

That's a shame and a bit odd because it doesn't really matter whether your vills change or not since you meet the conditions on revolting, neither here or there I guess. When I saw sub 15 minutes to get that, I thought 'how the hell do you pull that off'? Revolting w/o 100 vills is doable in sub 10 minutes but even with Ports>Brazil with medicine and extra TC wagons from Brazil you couldn't rebuild your vills in that time.

[Challenger_Marco]

For 70 pop convert i got 8m44s my best timing ,i think for sure it can get lower.

Did I understand correctly that Howdah and Revolt challenges got beaten by a few seconds but my Transform challenge did not get rolled by some spain pike spam? Interesting.

[lemmings121]

I dont even want to try, just want to see how they got this. Impressive times.
hopefully there are some interesting build orders there, not just exploiting a way of stealing 2k res from the AI

[GKShaman]

FIND OUT TONIGHT (6 hours) who won and HOW they got the times they did!

This will be following the TakkCafe Semifinals so we may delay the stream by 20-30 min so the community can watch both! :)
