Ok... with the release of the S2:2k6 demo a couple of the MPUK regulars sugested a head to head game.

As multiplayer isnt an option in the demo, it falls down to a race to see who can beat the opposing force (red player) first.

Ive taken that comment to be "complete military anihilation".

That is, you have to completely obliterate all the computer players military installations (from barracks to HQ).

So... game on...

To get your times, i sugest people do a screen shot of the "military strength" graph in 4hr mode. Like this the graph is "1pixel per game minute". We count it as the number of pixels between the two low points on the red line (including the line).

Edit: Just to re-interate, the graph shows "game time" not "real time" which means you can use the high speed mode if you want.

Obviously you may need to "tweek" the demo if you take more than 90 minutes.. :D This available on the net, but i`ll let you figure out where to get it.

My time is shown below as 133 Minutes:

Game on!

I did the HQ in 95 mins, but he had one small one left far behind it, had to go to 115 to get it, so im pretty happy with my result until someone beat it :roller:

Im i had 11 farms... if that helps =)

I should also point out that the starting resources should be set to the default of "medium" not "high".

Dunno how you had yours set.

I might have another go later as i`m sure i can do better than 115.

I spent too much time getting the gold i think.

Dude, i assumed we where going for the biggest challenge here...

I played on starting resources "low" and the hardest opponent difficulty :icon15:

For me atleast, i need both more soldiers and gold for them. I start off with gold and tools though, as long as you keep them in watchtowers at the front, they upgrade quickly.
