I don't know what it would be called, but getting the Omnipotent Master Badge. A possible name could be Omnipotent%. It would only be like 3 hours long.
It's like any% but you have to become that archetype, so zealot% would be doing any% as a zealot
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Philosophy This article explains it. The carnivore, herbivore. and omnivore categories only take into account 3 of 10 archetypes. Those of which are Shaman, Trader, and Warriror. The only archetype that won't work would be Wanderer since you would have to start the game in space stage to get it.
Hello, I hope Spore does not die, and I would really like more competition! :) I was wondering if anyone is still interested in speed running this game. I can submit some slow on purpose runs for the remaining categories if that might help get the ball rolling. Civilization Stage is my favorite and really the only level I would really fight for and more submissions would be really motivating me to keep improving! I see some new and old runners on YouTube, maybe some of us here can invite and encourage them to come run with us.
When I first started submitting times here, it may have seemed like I was gunning specifically for the only levels Sotherogue had, but Cell and Civ just happened to be the only levels I wanted to do, even before realizing those were the only levels with submissions. I realize that may have been discouraging to Sotherogue to keep playing, sorry if this is true :) I am used to Halo speed runs where the competition is extremely stiff.
I do hope Spore becomes more lively, let me know if you need strat help or general encouragement!
I have some improvement ideas for the Full game leader board, but I wanted to run the ideas by you first. I really like how the individual level board is laid out, but for the Full Game, the drop down tab for the difficulties I do not think is very obvious and there are also no difficulty categories for "Ally with Grox" and "Destroy the Grox." I think it would look cool if it was like Halo's co-op page on this cite. http://www.speedrun.com/halo_coop#Halo_CE Where in the horizontal tabs, as Spore full game is now for the three categories, but then under those tabs have the three difficulties like how Halo has Easy and Legendary as like sub-tab/categories.
Just a thought but I do not really think the "Destroy the Grox" really needs to be a category, maybe it can be replaced with an "Omnipotent" category, but I have only found a couple of videos defeating the Grox and I doubt anyone will have a continuous video for it. There are some impossibly long categories that exist in Halo, Tower to Tower for example, but those who complete it just have an end clip and they say something like "I did it in 15 days." But no one really keeps track of it in a ranking order.
Also what is 100% in Civilization stage? Could this be collecting all the spice geysers? I think 100% only really works in the other stages like Cell and Creature because there is a sporepedia to complete. Or did you have another requirement in mind. And maybe we can go over the wording of some of the rules because my Civ stage videos start at control not when I press the start button as the rules state I should.
I know it is a lot, but I'm pretty excited to be a bigger part of this community and I did not want to start making changes day 1 without talking it over first.
Also I messaged 3 people on YT I think would be good and rowrow_ on Twitch :)
In my opinion, the 100% IL categories should be removed. This is why: There actually are no collectibles for tribal stage, unless you count getting all the tribal editor pieces but they are all unlocked after every playthough anyway, and there aren't any collectibles for civilization stage unless you count capturing all the spice geysers which the most efficient way is to wait until all cities are captured then sending vehicles to capture each geyser, that is very boring and they aren't technically collectibles by the game's definition. And on hard, it is impossible to get 100% in space stage since you cannot ally the grox on hard because you are instantly at war and war with the grox cannot be ended unless they are destroyed, therefore making 'dance with the devil' impossible. That only leaves cell and creature for 100% categories and having an entire category only apply to 2 of the 5 ILs seems pointless to me. I have the only record in any 100% IL and I am perfectly okay with that run no longer belonging to a valid category.
i liked the levels on the left side like it was before. Is there a way to make a blank instead of "NOT POSSIBLE"? Or instead make it say N/A (not applicable), the phrase not possible sounds bad to me. Or, ILs could be added to the full game page under a another tab to keep it all on one page, that kind of menu looks much cleaner to me and it would take less time to access that leaderboard.
Could you also explain your rule for 100% space? Would it be all badges minus DWtD?
The new leader board is interesting but I agree with Crazed with the stages being the categories to the left and difficulties being the modifiers on top. I also like the idea of removing 100%, I don't really like obscure categories and less categories will be more competitive (especially wit just the few of us ;) ) but completely understand if you would like to keep cell 100% and creature 100%. Space 100% sounds a bit too hard to be honest, since this would include destroying the grox and the split personality badges especailly.
i forgot about split personality, that takes 5ever. also wonderland wonder is very difficult and random isnt it?
All right, I basically made every IL count as a full game to the site, I think this is better because it gives us far more control over the sub categories. I kept the 100%s for Cell and Creature and 100% for Easy and Normal for Space, because 100% Space Hard is actually impossible. The IL leader board is currently obsolete if we all migrate to the new board. The new board has everything unified on one page. I did really like the look of the IL leader board, however I believe this to be the better system. Let me know if you, Sotherouge and Crazed, like this idea and we can trash the IL board.
We will also need to get rowrow_ to resubmit his time, I contacted him through twitch and he said he will stream after SGDQ, so maybe we should all follow him to make sure one of us is able to catch that stream.
I am very happy Spore is getting more attention, I look forward to seeing more submissions in the future! :)
