With the cutscene queueing being viable for IGT runs, I feel that that should be unviable in RTA, so I would propose that cinematic time be counted RTA, then IGT starts counting once the level begins.
If it was purely IGT, then there would be no downside to using cutscene queueing, whereas RTA for cutscenes punishes that time spent watching a cutscene with marginal benefit afterwards. If there was a level where having more villagers built earlier makes up for having them idle, I think that should be a unique trait for that level.
TL;DR: if you watch a cutscene, it counts towards your time. Generally skipping cutscenes will be the fastest I think.
Town bell works, but that doesn't grab Eitri, hence why I wanted garrison hotkey instead.
I did some minor research on god power hotkeying, and the consensus seemed to be that hotkeying single god powers was fine, but when you set combos on a hotkey so they cast too fast to be interrupted with ceasefire that it starts to be considered cheating. At least in pvp.
Is there an AoM speedrunning discord? If not, is there any interest in the creation of one?
I messed up the submission date on this and the Loki's Temple WR. Both were played the evening of the 17th.
Can't believe I let Aria fall out. Aria's back to 18 as well. https://www.speedrun.com/aos?h=Soma_Any_No_0HP-Standard
