Oregon, USAPlayed again tonight, beat my score down to 29:39 (9m 52s) using a delayed sword strat. Definitely a lot more room to improve, I'm thinking ~5 minutes should be doable.
Looking to start a non official speed run thread for Mid SH 1v1 against Hard AI. This uses a presaved game in order to keep the settings and map seed the same, so you will have to download it here:

Fair enough about not enough competition on the site for this game. There is a whole community for this game still active so I'll post on their forums and see if anyone would be looking to speedrun it. Back in the day there were several "standard" game modes people played, one of the big ones being "Mid SH" which is what I'm looking to do. There could even be a few more for things like Indie SH, WW2 islands, or fastest p2n. There are a lot of configurable settings past Mid SH, so it would have to be a presaved game with all the settings so the map seed, number of cits, comp difficulty and etc but people generally played with pretty standard settings.
Since this would require a saved game, is there a way to upload to this website? I'll start a forum post for me and a couple of my friends, but I'd love to include the .ees file incase anyone else wants to try.
Can we add a new non campaign speed run? I like to do 1v1 verse AI on hard and tiny map - fastest to victory text. In order to keep it fair, it would be a presaved game so that it has the same map seed and settings.
