Looking to start a non official speed run thread for Mid SH 1v1 against Hard AI. This uses a presaved game in order to keep the settings and map seed the same, so you will have to download it here:

Played again tonight, beat my score down to 29:39 (9m 52s) using a delayed sword strat. Definitely a lot more room to improve, I'm thinking ~5 minutes should be doable.
Will this speedrun be on the original game or the expansion? I imagine the biggest difference would be the existence/nonexistence of civ powers.
Are glitches such as the tribute glitch allowed?
I did a glitchless speedrun on the original game in 1:52 RTA (which is equal to 4:23 IGT)
I used a seige ram to destroy the buildings and my citizens to kill the units.
Could still be improved significantly.
