The old record of about 21 minutes gets demolished by once again avoiding any sort of actual Rise of Nations gameplay. Rather, by building up wealth, only investing in 1 of the nations of the Warsaw pack, as well cutting a nice deal with Cuba, we can keep just behind enough the American economy while also building up our nuclear arsenal. Once we get to 5 nukes, we have just enough firepower to annihilate the nuisance of America, leading our men to victory.
