Hey y'all,
How I judge the timing on all runs is as follows, this includes individual battles, Finish The Campaign, etc.
Time begins when you assume control of your legendary lord for the first time, this means when the camera stops zooming in when you begin a campaign.
Loading times are not counted towards time played, this is to give those with not as powerful computers a chance against those with overpowered ones, especially since Total War games are horribly optimized. This includes the loading time in between turns, though if an AI attacks a settlement or army then time must resume once that battle starts
If you need to take a break in the middle of a run (trying to sit through a 5-hour Eye of the Vortex game isnt easy) you may "pause" the run by going to the escape menu, please notarize these "pauses" in the submission notes.
If you have any questions please reply to this thread, message me here, or on twitter @TitansAdvocate
Cheers yall, Happy wargaming
Thanks for the info, sorry but I have just changed the description of the run to not confuse anyone and it needs to be verified again, sorry about that again xD.
Happy wargaming to all.
good to know, fortunately I'm still planning new speedrun, so no need for adjustments. Good to see that community is slowly growing :)
Are turn times included, and if they aren't, can we stop the timer during them?
Also just on that topic, I have had a load remover made for warhammer 2 which will remove all load times including end turns. All runners will be able to access this add-in via Live Split
