I'm not sold on IGT, honestly. It's a grand strategy game, so yes, you should be able to pause and plan things out perfectly. On the other, it's been much more challenging for me to form Germany as fast as physically possible than going by IGT. Even still, RTA in its current form does seem to favor players with faster computers rather than those who play well. No offense meant here Rat, your Western% run was solid - just making an overall observation since I've seem to benefited from this myself. IGT could definitely be its own category but RTA should be maintained. If I were to impose anything new I'd say RTA should be limited to ingame speed 4 (since 5 is as fast as your machine can handle and 4 is still limited by the game). No clue what to do about the existing runs - speaking for myself, I'd be happy to redo mine on speed 4.
