Hi, thank you all for this interessting discussion. Setting up clear and fair rules can be a difficult task. In my opinion you nailed it pretty well and I would accept invuln3r4bl3's suggestions. Keep and gaming big :)

Cheers

GG! Very impressive! Now do Level 08 ;)

Hi, thank you very much.

Yes the whole PAL/NTSC topic should be disscussed for sure.

The most easiest would be to split the LB for PAL & NTSC (most common here on src) That would ensure a fair playing field for folks who play on real hardware and dont have access to PAL and NTSC. Cnverting the times would of course also be an option, we need at least a new variable (PAL/NTSC) for the LB then. I am fine with both.

Cheers

Hi,

as long as this is an offical release (no fan mod etc), I am fine with that.

Cheers

Hi, gotcha, I didnt read the rules properly sorry for that. Well that sounds like a challenge. Thanks

Hi guys,

Is changing Teams for the World Cup valid or does preset include to play the original intended Teams (like Germany, Italy, Greece etc) for the World Cup? Thanks

Hi ComtriS,

Its pretty difficult to find valid and good informations about the game and some of the game mechanics are also a riddle for me. I as able to trace down a website, which isnt avaialbe anymore via the "Waybackmachine" with some interessting content: https://web.archive.org/web/20160413221600/http://www.rogerdavies.com/2009/04/dragons-breath-dragon-lord-video-game-for-atari-st-by-palace-software

1. Good question, according to the manual on Lemon Amiga https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/docs.php?id=514 Its mentioned in the table but not in the description above...maybe its just missing from the game I dont know.

2. What do you mean by inconsistent? Can you provie an example or a link?

3. IIRC You can i.e. shrink the population of a town or lower their defense. Its like an attack spell sort of (but not 100% sure).

4. Yes Yeomancy is army/combat strenght (very important). Uprising means that a town can rebel and you will lose it and have to reconquer it.

5. Strenght = Combat Skill (Conquer Towns/Fighting Dragons) Speed = How fast they will reach their destination Age = The older the more likly the will die Health = HP (Renegerates im they take a break in the lair) Eyesight = Can spot items/talisman from the air without landing on a tile Wisdom = Not sure atm.

6. IIRC Heating Eggs cost money, the more heat the more you have to pay.Not sure if you can overheat.

7. Uff...I remember knowing the answers to this, but I need to check my papers, I try to come back to you about that.

Hope this helps you a bit.

I am happy that you are interessted in playing this game, there is much stuff to rediscover, back then I was just happy to beat it with the informations I was able to find. The game offers so much and every round is completly different (only end-game sucks). Pretty sure my time is easy to beat, searching for the talisman is really annyoing and you can be lucky and find them right on, but the grind for his must be brutal.

Cheers

Hi,

thanks for the answer, sure thing sounds fair to me. I just wanted to know, that maybe the run still could be legit, despite the hard reset.

Here is my run btw.

Restarting on the C64 is taking long and I wanted to play instead of constantly restart the game and wait so I just kept playing loop after loop to save time.

Cheers

Hi all,

I completed a 1 loop run on the C64. I did die once on Blues and managed to get a 3m 13s time. I captured the frame rate and the buttons pressed, however I didnt start from fresh I was just playing loop after loop until got some decent attempt. So would this be a problem to get accepted on the LB, because no gamereset is present in the video?

I am not playing an orginal version using VICE (C64 Emulator)

Cheers

Hi,

I finished an IL run for Sierra Nevada on the Amiga. Could it be possible to add the system to the game?' My time is 2m 53s 500ms including some minor errors. Without doing much science about the games inner working, it looks like to be as fast as the Genesis version, so imho both could still share the same LB.

Cheers

Very nice job on your recent runs GG! You and your awesome setup really deserve to be the reigning King of Time Tunnel.

Hi,

I want to come back to this game, but I dont like to play this one route over and over again, so I'd want to suggest new categories for Maniac Mansion:

Would be nice if we extend the Leaderboards with a new Tab labeled something like "Endings". In there are 3 (or 5 this depends) new Leaderboards for the different Endings. Weird Edsel Meteor Police Publisher

(please check out the post from misguided_fool at the very end, he explains everything very well about all the different endings. There are more possible categories to be found if needed.) https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63342)

Not sure how to handle this between LabDoorMod/NoLabDoorMod. Imho we should just note in the rules, that you have to get the code for the door regardless which "Mod" you play. The run would be longer sure, but still sub 15m.

What do you think? I am open for everything, as long as there is a new cool category :D

Cheers

Yeah go for it :)

Good News (for me at least)

I found out that winning through Eco is intended, so its not a bug. https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Dune_(video_game)

That means I just did it wrong last time.

Cheers

Dont worry I am not a perfectionist, as soon as it is decent enough I will submit it :) I just find it hard to run for some reason.

Hi,

ah alright, would be neat if its a feature, but you are propably right. I really like this game but for me its really though to get a decent run. I already invested so much time so I wont give up on it.

Hi, thanks for the answer.

I was aware that it is not very likely, that you have much experience with the version I am playing, but of course who knows ;) I am pretty sure Chani was kidnapped (its been a while as you can imagine, see my late response) So yes I was at the same point. I also waited a fair amount of time, but maybe not enough, this is still worth checking.

Then again, do you know for sure if its an intended game feature or a bug? If its a bug I would say 99.9% it wont work also.

Cheers

Hi and welcome.

If you have any question about Speedrunning Sudden Strike, we are happy to help.

Cheers

Hi,

if you did a run of an scenario, just request it here and I will add it to the Leaderboard:

Cool thank you very much :)
