I'm thinking that once I get a better feel for the strategy on each map it might be interesting to try a full any% run of all the Southern Quests.
So what would be ideal as the end point of a full run? I'm thinking that technically the game would think that you are done if you can complete Day of Reckoning since its requirements are all the Southern Quests.
Looking at the times, I think ideally a good full run would hit around 3 hr 45 min. Any thoughts?
I don't know how things function for something like this on the site, so I figured I'd just post here. I'm probably not going to do the Northern Expansion mission until I feel I've got the Southern Missions all to reasonable times, but should they be added somewhere for the sake of having a place on the site?
There is also the Wrath of Krolm extra mission created by the devs, and the demo mission. Personally I don't think the demo mission needs to be included, but thought I would bring it up.
I am working on researching more data about how the various system of the game work in order to optimize the runs. I have organized the data into a spreadsheet:

There are still a lot of things I need to figure out, but it is a start
While searching through the steam forum I found a link to the old Cyberlore Forums for Majesty. It seems some people were having competitions back then for Individual Level Speedruns.

There isn't any video to go off of, and they time based on the in-game time of "days" which obviously isn't ideal. There isn't any way to tell if they used the console codes as well, but I figured it might make for some fun numbers to shoot at.
Edit: I don't know when the site stopped being hosted but as of today (01/09/21) it appears that these records are pretty much lost to time. I tried finding the post with the wayback machine with no luck.
