SpeedRunning the campain ?!

challengers please :D
, ,


Ruleset:

- no time warping ( pausing or changing speed )
- all objectives must be completed
- unlocks allowed are; everything at same distance from start as the mission in question

- to validate a run provide videoproof
- the time of the run is the ingame time

Can you speedrun some other mission pls?

And @Thomas1 you should probably set some rules like:

- Allowed Commander upgrades yes(+ which)/no
- Allowed Pause (at gamestart?)
- Max/minspeed
...

Sirlanna Brutal pls.

it does take the speed out of speed run :p
-> pause and speed mod = time warp

regarding unlocks i suggest the rule be; can use anything that is available at that level in a fresh playtrough

So, Ruleset:

- no time warping ( pausing or changing speed )
- all objectives must be completed
- unlocks allowed are; everything at same distance from start as the mission in question
[Spoiler]
- to validate a run provide videoproof
- the time of the run is the ingame time



save files for each mission ''height'' ;

just copy the files into your campain folder, under saves

step one is for mission one etc.

I'm missing something, why are different game speeds disallowed when the time of the run is game time? Game time already pauses and speeds up/slows down according to game speed so there's no advantage to it.

I had a go at a time warp speedrun. At first I thought I had wasted two of my Glaives in one Lance shot, but then I was quite lucky. I think this will be hard to beat.


@Thomas1 could you upload the saves in a zip so they are easier to download? Also you could name the commanders. I called mine Distance Zero and Distance One since that was how far they were from the planet. Also, to be clear on the rules, I'm assuming the commander should have all modules and XP that corresponds to the planets at the appropriate distance.

I'll keep the ball rolling with mission 2:


Edit: The game is meant to pause automatically at the start of non-scripted missions, and clicking 'Continue' on the mission briefing is supposed to unpause the game. Perhaps my settings broke this or perhaps the functionality broke in general. In any case, I think an automatic pause on game start is fine as it evens the playing field between computers that may chug on initialising the mission.

Oh wow, you shaved 50-ish seconds by having the bottom Lance shoot the commander it was supposed to protect. Brutal.

Also, all the solar, mex, factory, glaive building seems to have been unnecessary, hmm.

katastrophe I dont think that would be a speedrun.
You call things like that a marathon.
