Is there a concise set of rules for speed runs?

Whats Any% mean?

According to the "View Rules" button in any%, the rules are - Rules:

• The game is won by launching a rocket with a satellite
• Only 1 player is allowed.
• Free choice of map generator options. Especially enabling the peaceful mode and using a map seed is allowed.
• The time is taken in realtime, not ingame time
• The usage of the multiplayer mode is recommended for accurate timing.
• The usage of the debug mode is not allowed except for the options "show_fps", "show_grid" and "show_enemy_expansion..." .

itsmanofpopiscle,

Thank you for the heads up, must of missed the button.

By free choice of map generator options, i'm assuming everyone set the density, size etc of resource fields to max?

Me and my lady have been playing default, hence we we confused when AntiElite had so much resources available. Was he just lucky in map generation?, we were thinking.

Kind regards

I used a map seed. There are different rulesets for the available categories. Just check out the rules of each of them. There is also a default options categorie that requieres a random seed.
