Is there a discord server for this game? I found a couple of things and would like to post them in an organised way

Cheers, LoS

Hey guys!

I hope you're all fine :) Just decided to give this game a shot and I was wondering what you recommend: Is it better to play with a controller or with the keyboard on pc? And are there some differences like easier setups etc?

Hey guys! A new Autosplitter was released which uses Image-comparison to decide when to split. It turns out, that you can actually just use a small part of the whole game to decide when to split. Therefore it would be possible to just take a picture of the "You won" message that pops up couple of frames after you win the mission. With this full campaign runs will be way more acurate to time, bc you don't have to look on which frame actually the message appeared...(especially usefull if you want to know if you got a time like 29:59 or 30:00, for example) I post a link to a video where this was actually used to time a Speedrun (Watch at around 2 Minutes)

Hey guys!

I created a new discord server exclusive for settlers IV speedruns where you can post when you get a PB, when you're streaming, if you have new tricks etc :)

I hope you join and we can push the times even further down!

Hey Guys!

In the full campaign runs you can use save and reload as I saw and Sascha mentioned to me. For this it makes sense to use RTA to time the runs. But I thought it would be more competitive if one forbidds speeding the game up via the numpad or F12. I think none of the recent runs even used the F12-button or the numpad, therefore it would make no difference for the current runners and if we don't allow it for the future it would not affect future runners. What are your thoughts about it? I thinkt it's best to allow safe and reload and don't allow speeding the game up.

Hey guys! I think I found how the whole batteling mechanism works and I was able to create something like a simulator... It's not perfect, but I'm working on it! Just thought I let you guys know :)

Hey there!

I wanted to ask you if we could remove the fast forward option? It messes up with my leaderboard, has anyone else the same issue? And also because we use in game time it doesn't make a diffrence for the timing. And I think most runs are without fast forward now. Additionally on the Settlers IV history edition you need to have cheats activated to use FF (Note: This is to my extend the only diffrence to prior versions), making it therefor not avaible for all the players. What do you think guys? Do you want it as an option to select when submitting a run or not? Like I said, my leaderboard is completly messed up now and doesn't load correctly and everything and in S4HC it's treated as a cheat.

Hey there :)

I thought about speedrunning this game and I have a question: Will runs performed on the NES mini be accepted? Or are there some issues?

Hey :)

I wanted to ask you if you can include individual levels from the campain to the leader board?

Hey there :)

I've got plant-glitch today on 4-2 and noticed that the falling plattform at the end spawned in the wall. I compared the normal way and the glitched and there is a difference of about 0.7 sec. Is there any information how to trigger this glitch?

Hey :)

Didn't know how to contact you, so I thought I'll do it here... For the individual Levels, I think it has to be more accurate. Can you change it, so the time is minutes : seconds : miliseconds?
