Hello, I'll be donating $30 for a new contest after kreeshak his 2 editions
The contest will be a speedrun of Saladin 6: The Lion and Demon.
This scenario can be won the fastest by conquest (instead of the suggested wonder victory, which is zzzz). I am interested how the strong RM players can do this fast.
Winner of fastest time at deadline wins $15 via paypal. I'll be including 2 deadlines so people can see the strats after first deadline and improve/adapt from that point.
First Deadline: 16th July 2015, 23:59 GMT
Second Deadline 20th July 2015, 23:59 GMT
The runs must done according the speedrun rules and submitted HERE on the official speedrun site. Only approved runs count. Please use an account with the same name as your IGN or AoCzone name so I can contact you when you win.
The runs use real time and requires you recording it to have the attempt approved.
Rules
Map: Saladin 6: The Lion and the Demon
Difficulty: Hard
Speed: Maximum 2.0x (fast)
Version: AoC 1.0c patch, AoK, or HD (so no UP)
Mods: Only widescreen, windowed mode, and pussywood.
Glitches: Allowed
Cheats: Not Allowed
Timing: Timing starts when map loads (so press enter when loading to skip explanation of map) and finishes when: "You are Victorious" shows. The run timing is done in real time.
Recording: I don't mind how you do it, but easiest ways are uploading on Youtube, or stream attempts at twitch and highlight. Quality doesn't really matter as long as you can see what you are doing.
I hope people are interested in this slightly different approach to the challenge. I chose this since I'm personally interested in how to beat this level the fastest, and secondly to get AoE2 noted as more popular speedrun game with more runners on the speedrun site.
If I missed anything, or something is unclear, please ask.
Update Tonight first deadline!
