Hello everyone, I wanted to give you guys a little challenge with a small prize.

As many of you guys know, loc 5 rich land is my favorite loc.
The idea is simple, get as many bows as possible on loc 5 rich land. This means leather jacket+ bow+ rekruts in baracks at 1:00:00 exact.

The winner will be decided on 24 march.
If you wish to compete, you have to follow these rules:

1. State how many bows you managed to reach and provide a screenshot on the site. Save the replay, you dont need to upload it but will need to give it to me later so I can verify that you did not cheat (for example increasing your storehouse hold before starting etc.).
2. Market abuse is allowed, do with it whatever you want
3. You are allowed to use resources that belong to the other locations if it helps you
4. Saving inbetween games I can not check whether you did or not so its allowed, but it would be far cooler if you would just play from start to finish without saves.
5. If there is a tie the money will split, if you tie with me it will not count as a win.
6. I will be allowed to try to improve my own record to defend 1st place and keep the money
7. You need to be able to receive money through ideal
8. I will put you on the leaderboard with your best result, dont be afraid to share lower than 1st results and show how you have done
9. Once the challenge is finished I will provide a replay of the winner to see how he or she did it. I will also provide a replay of my own version if anyone is interested, I wont be releasing replays during the challenge so you need to think for yourself and can not copy others.
10. Other players are not allowed to help you with your build (tree planters, road makers, corn makers etc etc)

Leaderboard:

1. Don Artie 127 http://imgur.com/y4jhdVn
2. Mex ABC T 124 bows
3. Siem/killer 122
4. Mr fu 108
5. Henkie 95
6. Equa 91
7. Sado 89

Nice score
I'm assuming rule 3 doesn't extend to letting other locs build roads and grow trees for you...

Nope, thanks for mentioning it. I added a 10th rule. And I think the score is easily breakable with some practice, this was only on my 2nd try

Nice idea, I want to give it a try just for fun on this weekend!

first try...

This is such a challenge for Dicsoupcan

If he decides to compete you are almost 100% sure he'll be the best by using a strategy noone would think of :p.

Nevertheless, I'll give it a go sometime as well

Good job equa, I added you to the list. Get some more wood going and I can see you easily improving some more . Also gl siem

Mexi and mvp boldie both got about 100 bows they told me (and mexi showed me) but I guess they'll only post once they beaten 112 haha. Chances are mexi will do it soon enough

Hmm I need to be faster... And change my strategy a lot.

I started off very well.. Then I got a phonecall that took for ages and I totally ruined my city Im trying again another time maybe but i like this challenge.

almost beat it, maybe if i perfect the order i might get like + 5 bows upon you

First try, 89. It's not that bad for sado, I think that 112 isn't that high, I probably won't break it myself but I imagine the pros should max it out pretty soon.

Nice sado, I hope people will too. I hear a lot of people on ts trying but most not posting so thanks for sharing your result

I got to 93 bows/ recruits with 118 leather.

With maybe few more adjustments I'll probably get there

Pics or it did not happen :p

second try, played it on sp mode. started soon with market but that didnt work out

ps. printscreen doesnt work properly thats why its paused
