Hey, I'm new to the run, been practicing a few weeks now and I have some questions:

If Roland gets either duplicate or resurrection is that just an instant restart? It seems impossible to win if he keeps casting those insane spells.

In country Lords, how do you keep them from grabbing other castles and towns while you deal with the top 3? In the record video they stay put, but for me I'm always chasing them down. Is this random?

In greater glory, other than the top 3 monsters (the ones guarding the entrance to the town) are there any other spots dragons can spawn? Same question for the final campaign.

Thanks a ton!

I have started a google doc to consolidate some of the research that Alkarss and I have been doing:

Feel free to add any of your results to the doc.

I'm going to be perfectly frank: I don't see the point of Low%. There's so little difference in the run to any%. You pretty much already do the minimum. Just a few things here and there, but other than letting Marian die, the game play is almost the same.

What would be the thoughts on having different categories based on the ending achieved? Survive Trial, Get Best Ending, that kind of thing.

The other idea popping around in my mind would be a silly one: Die Every Day. Robin must die (Reach the restart/restore screen) on every day. And to increase variety, all 13 deaths must be different (Must reach a different campfire ending). Thoughts?

Average Success: 52.8% Average Outlaws Remaining: 21.8

By Final Choice: Day 11 Success Rate Average Remaining Much 0.00% 25.4 Tuck 100.00% 23.0 Will 68.00% 21.2 John 60.00% 19.8 Allan 36.00% 18.4

Note that on average, Much's final plan has a higher average remaining, because you always lose exactly 1, whereas with Tuck you can lose a lot more if you go into the final battle with fewer men.

Minimum men for success: Tuck: Always works. Will: 25 John: 26 Allan: 28 Much: Always fails.

(1). How do you make it skip through the text so fast? I'm clicking but it goes nowhere near as fast as the WR.

(2). I'm having a heck of a time getting Robin to move from screen to screen in the forest. I have to click basically all the way at the very edge of the screen. Is there a way around this? The WR moves so quickly across screens.

(3). What causes the glitch of the King thinking Marian is dead at the end? Is it just based on Score / Ransom money raised?

If you beat the game without saving, you get credited with a completion percentage of 0. See:

This requires careful planning and managing health throughout Black Castle since you can't refill till you beat the Ninja.

Could this be a category?

Discovered today while playing Difficult:

I somehow got inside those moving platforms, and then the game teleported me to the far side of the room.

Awesome! Speed running applications....?

Hate to harp on this subject, (And probably no one cares) but something is definately wrong with the in-game timer. I don't know if it's just on my end, but the numbers I've seen make no sense. See my most recent PB in regular which posted an absolutely ridiculous 20:31.

I found a few runs to add to the leaderboards on Youtube. Hope it's ok to put them here. Make the boards look a little less like a ghost town.

I just completed a run with a real time of 37:52 (Not good, many deaths), but somehow the In Game time was a ridiculous 24:29, far better than the #1 time on here. I'll put it up if anyone wants to see it, but the run is pretty bad other than that weirdness.

Any idea why this would happen?

Is the mini-console allowable for speed runs of this game?

Choked my first ever shot at sub hour.

I lost my elixer in the Demon King fight, and didn't have enough money to buy a new one. So I crossed my fingers and went for it.

I'll get you next time Biomeka.....

Artegaomega's PB from the great dethwing vs Artega battle for supremacy in 2012. I remember I took the record by a few seconds, went for a hair cut, and came back and Artega had it back.

What you guys have done with the game since then is spectacular!
