nah, the only remotely viable strat was that of aede, who used an otto fishboom to get a 10 min V time with 50 vils. all other strats needed lots of cows and even though they involved resource stealing from the AI that is only to knock off maybe 30 sec max, something that would make or break this challenge, but not something that will likely make or break a normal game.

Btw, I tried Aede's BO, but I don't get the same timings by far. I still think it depends too much on the cow food he stole from the bot. Well, just try that BO yourself and see if you get the same age 5 time, give or take 30 seconds if you don't use the bot's res.

In my tests, the food from the fishboom comes too late to be able to click up to age 2 at 2.45. And he had no other vills on food, except the fishboats and the 2 forward vills stealing from the bots.

did you also play on slow speed? because thats another thing. on normal speed youre just going to be less effiecient. on slow speed you can get your first vil at 6 sec. in normal speed you only get it at 8-10 sec. and you are also alot more inefficient with many other things which in the end will also account for time lost making some of these strats less viable. because having to keep up such perfect macro while you also have to keep track of an opponent is hard.

The stealing crates thing kinda ruined it for me a bit.

its kinda std fare for these kind of challenges. that old fast IV challenge people keep referring to also used crate stealing. i think even more than we have seen in this challenge.

i was kinda too lazy to try it, otherwise i mightve done it too XD
