So just out of curiosity does it matter which map variant we use for a run? I know there is only one map with a variant currently, but they said they are gonna add more. How will this affect the runs?

The two castles variants have different paths to get to the flag, so speedruns will be affected. I'm guessing there will be different categories for each variant, or only one variant will be counted.

Cool, just was curios.

Hello fellas! The rules have been updated on this topic.

Oh, cool thanks!

What about maps being updated? For example, the huge update they did with Wall, or more recently, the subtle (yet impactful) update on Forts. How would these affect speedruns?

I'd prefer to let the runners make new runs if the change affects the run by reducing the time potential.

Map updates will be handled case-by-case basis, if the map update is unbearable I'll archive it as a level and add new one, eg.: "Temple [2023-12-24]".
