Hello, I'm going to do an All Campaigns (Hardest) run live on the Games Done Decently event 25.-27.11. (at weekend three weeks from this moment, but I don't know the exact time yet). I'll try to beat bigbassie's superb record with the help of stone age glitch and other recent findings by the amazing speedrunners of this game. The stream will be live at https://www.twitch.tv/tr3gamers and I will upload it to my Youtube channel afterwards regardless of the final time. The stream will be in Finnish but I can switch to English if need be.
I'm planning to ask a friend of mine to provide snacks etc. during the run. The rules don't specify limitations, so I'm asking upfront where does the line go of what is legit and what is not. Can he:
- Read keynotes I've written beforehand about each level (to me and the stream)? For example, what is the goal of the mission, to what population I plan to go to?
- Tell me when a certain time has passed in a level? For example, in Coming of the Huns, I want to send my villagers at 5:00 gt.
- Warn me if I'm about to get housed?
- Warn about things happening in the map that I might not notice?
Also, if anyone has any new ideas not apparent in bigbassie's sub 7h run, I would be delighted to hear about them. Especially I have reached a dead end with the Nineveh mission - I would like to have a safer strat since I can't restart the run. I would not like to lose 15 minutes there for RNG...
Thank you for the advice - I tried it a few times and it feels consistent enough with one save file when landing with the camels.
The run will start on Sunday at 7:00 GMT. I'm going to have my friend read my notes I have made in preparation for the levels but other communication will be random chatting.
