All planets and tech in 3h, 7m, 46s.
Wow, I was so tired when I uploaded this. Went right to bed. Aaaaaannyyyyway..... So here's the story.
I've been looking for a game to speedrun for some time now, and Moo1 was always near the top of the list. In fact, I think as early as the 10th episode of The Superjacob Show was a Small Galaxy, Impossible Difficulty, 5 enemy attempt. I've never felt 'satisfied' with the speedruns of Moo1 which use simple difficulty, the election mechanic, and ignore conquering Orion. When I played the game growing up, it was always about total domination of the entire galaxy, and anything less feel's 'unfinished' to me. Since I hadn't seen any such 100% runs, I decided to give it a shot last month. Since then I've been playing off and on in my spare time. I had a few off-camera untimed successes, modified my strategy, and started filming attempts. Last night I was lucky enough to have the run come together, and I finished in just over 3 hours.
This run can be done MUCH quicker. I would love to see some members of the community tear this record apart, so I challenge you to beat my time.
Here are the rules:
- Must research all Tech trees up to "advanced tech 1" level. You don't have to research the advance techs, just everything else available.
- Must conquer/colonize all planets including Orion.
- Obviously no election victory, military victory only.
- No saves. (continue game function is allowed)
- Impossible Difficulty, 5 opponents, any galaxy size(small is probably the fastest option, but you can try larger if you want)
- Obviously no cheats/hacks/glitches/bugs etc.
I know that I can get my time down to 2 hours if I keep at it. I'm not sure I will though, unless someone beats my time.
Have fun gaming and speeding! -Superjacob
