faster even, and depends on your definition of extreme coining, there are some truly unexpected and innovative hc attack plans out there. youd be surprised. but while theoretically such times are possible i doubt anyone will manage faster than the bears. its very difficult to do a fast atlantis cap within a month of server opening. and requires a huge workrate and uncommon battle mechanics knowlege. also hc capping for me a lot lot of my fellow relapse players has become a tired boring part of the game.

back in the day before atlantis cap you could do some pvp, cap your hcs build them up get your account the way you like it and then take atlantis and some 16s

nowdays its a race to get the 18 and the 16s before other alliances. on 43 it truly sucked as all we did for the first 2 months was plan build and camptime on hcs. got old quick. although once all that was done the fun did start, unfortunately for me i didnt get much done in the way of pvp before i quit, rl got too busy

but for the 18 our main inhibitor for time was resources and reaching lvl 9 barracks in time
