This are some of my ideas for new categories also if anyone else has a new idea for a category you can post it here. But here are my ideas first is the merchant% where you do the merchants quest as fast as possible and arena% where you must complete the arena having all 40 opponents either beaten by you or buy another opponent but all 40 must be gone and you must still be standing time ends when you collect your reward from the tournament master
merchant% - too fast and uninteresting. Maybe idea with gold% was good, because give opportunity for use of different ways, but arena% it pure random and same - too fast. (one tournament% suffice).
So i have another idea for a category its called Hero% where you have to get a certain amount of the unique companions that you recruit from taverns that have names and custom stories but im not sure if it would be to hard to get all 16 of them oh wait nvm this doesnt have an end screen
Thank you all for your idea for new tournaments. I don't mean to sound condescending, but I think that for right now, we have enough categories. There are still two (in my opinion main) categories that do not have runs in them (any% and 100%, yes I know 100% will take a long long time.) While I am open to new categories, I think that the additions of Tournament% and Claiment% are going to do us well for now. However, please continue to leave your ideas here, and if one strikes Muzgrob or I, we will add it to the leaderboard. I hope to begin going more runs of this game shortly.
Cheers, JarlCarl
Alright Carl i was mainly suggesting this because i think that any% 100% and Claiment% are intimidating runs (i am working on any%) but anyone who is new to speed running and wants to do this as their main game might do the easy ones such as Vassal tournament and kingdom% but once they reach a point where they are frustrated and dont want to do any other runs they would have more options also these are the runs i would like to do but i respect you so if i happen to come up with anything ill leave it here.
I am happy with the number of categories we currently have and if I am being honest I would actually say we have too many... But I want to try and foster more running of this great game, so am always willing to discuss new category ideas. I think what makes any% and claimant% so daunting is the tedium involved in taking a lot of castles... Claimant% would potentially take less time if you can quickly capture two or three castles and get lords under your sway quickly... But it'd still be tedious. I plan to do runs of them all someday and hope others don't get frustrated by it... But that's the nature of the beast sometimes.
