I accidentally put that it was 55:42 even though I actually won it faster. I put the entire time of the video. lol.

This is the only secret mission of SC and it's beyond epic imho from the lore perspective. Basically SC2 sneak peek.

Restart this mission. Your timer stopped at 4:59, but with 5:00 remaining, you can unlock a bonus mission.

No guardians, devourers?

Frimpton-on-Sea Quite tight win with the money :D Simpleton "Someone has got stuck. Plan your hospital better." forever lol. Good thing you had some extra hospital value as the inflator exploded right when you were going to win Greenpool The psychiatry patients waited in line far away. After building the trapped extra research department, the game bugged into thinking that anything you would place anywhere would block passage there (since there wasn't way to get there anyway) - hence you were unable to place radiators or rooms after that Manquay I've observed placing the screen directly next to operating theatre door makes surgeon glitches much more probable. This time there were no issues Eggsenham The eq was brutal, too bad the quicksave was too late Croaking 3:41:04 looks stupid fun when the 3 researchers are jacking the cabinet Fantastic run! Almost broke the 5h mark. Every run you are getting much better at the game. I think you are using pretty much all the tricks I could think of and more, so no major improvements here imo. Thanks for posting it and sorry for having you wait for the review!

One of the unusual things about this mission is the fact that the clock goes down faster than real time. The entire video including the beginning and end is less than the timer descended. They really do not give you that much time to do this.

Sorry for taking time before reviewing. It's not because of for a lack of interest - that is quite the opposite - but for I was very busy with work and other stuff last week First off, the room item placements were beautiful this time. I’m especially amazed by how you found an even better-optimized pharmacy layout. Nurse rooms to same building, great strat Using auto-psy and concentrating research, nice additions. I always disissed them as unnecessary, probably superficially. As you had to quickload less after eqs, it now feels like it is worth it It was exciting to hear you actually tried the strat of putting juniors to GP to maximise profit. Would have been funny to see the aftermath of the run where you sacked all the handymen in the end :D The surgeons sure trolled you a lot this run lol I knew that epidemic patient leaving building for another counts as failing the epidemic, hence I always abused the "delete reception" glitch. I was not aware that this is a bug in the GOG version and works differently on CD. That's a double exclamation finding by you in my opinion I think you should search for the formula grandpas more aggressively and fire the slowpokes. Many times patients were waiting for handyman to repair some machine, and ofc it was the slowest one from opposite part of the hospital I feel like you should build toilets next to operating theatre. I noticed many patients quit before treatment there and I think they are more enduring waiting for surgery if there is a toilet around That being said it was really smooth and fast run with many minute nuances added in. It’s clear you took suggestions to heart and found ways to go beyond expectations. Thank you for the run and the explanatanions, it was really interesting and enjoyable! Going to review the all hospitals easy as soon as possible

impressive gameplay!

why aren't you using the keyboard?

oooo from the CD

This was the game of my youth, thank you for uploading.

An excellent and incredibly inspiring video. I haven't finished watching it yet, but I'll definitely take a closer look. Congratulations on the new WRs!

I applaud you for these runs. You have embodied the theory of constraints ("Improvement made anywhere besides the bottleneck is a false improvement") by focusing on the most pressing win conditions (cures or cash), something I did not implement much in my runs. I tried to play all levels the same with pretty much same style. Lowering treatment costs when cures are more important seems really obvious now, but back then I failed to consider that at all. I was also probably too excited to show the world of the epidemic skip glitch that I implemented it too often, skipping good money. l think you made some really clever decisions along the way - it was really interesting to see your take on some of the levels and optimized strategies, like avoiding building machines immediately to negate potential earthquake damage. I was initially seeing red with the lack of optimization for some of the rooms (e.g. psychiatrist sofa not next to door, GP cabinet not always next to telephone of desk, etc), but I must concede it is probably not relevant in the grand scheme of things. I was delighted to see you use same philosophy in design of the hospitals as I have done - to make them crammed into smaller space to make them as efficient as possible, and to leave all unnecessary items (plants, bins, fire extinguishers, windows) out If you are planning to run this still in the future, I have some recommendations to polish the run even more: - Set "send home" and "guess at cure" to same value in hospital policy view as soon as possible. Then you will stop receiving faxes on "what should we do with this patient". Every time you change menus (e.g. fax view) you lose approximately 1 second, so you'll save a lot of time in the long run - Study individual rooms: what is the routine path of the patient, what is the routine path of the doctor/nurse, and try to minimize those. Especially rooms such as GP, GD, psychiatrist and pharmacy would be important. For example, often the GD ended up with screen on top of the door and equipment below (e.g. Croaking hospital), which results in the patient having to walk all the way around, 4 times. The items should be other way around - the diagnostics can be sped up dramatically with that little change - Plan the exact layout you want to do for your hospital in detail in advance and stick with it. It's debatable whether this is worth it, but I myself found it very helpful technique. I think you had the initial rooms planned, but later rooms were sometimes more awkward in some levels You wondered about the quicksave / quickload hotkeys. If memory serves me right, those are alt+S and alt+L. I always try to quicksave before earthquakes to not lose like 3 rooms as happened at one point One hypothesis I'd like to see experiments on is that fulfilling any of the 4 win conditions might be a major factor in the inflow of new patients. This would imply that rushing hospital value might be good strategy. (But buying more buildings -> handymen go travel the world, need to block them or not build rooms in the new buildings) I enjoyed the chilled commentary with some insights to your thinking. Unfortunate that the audio balance in Battenberg makes it difficult to hear what you say Maybe you will do the full game speedrun in one session some day, I would like to watch it :) and sorry for the wall of text. Thank you for posting the runs, it was really nice to watch!

Nioce keep going

I feel like I should explain this one. Basically I had not played this game for a long time and came back to it. This hospital was not exactly my favorite. lol. That explains the eery silence and the slow pace.

Oh, this game from my childhood ❤

respect for playing the original game!

Cute game! Can you change the announcer to not be British?

Yuri ❤❤❤

My favorite part of this video is how obvious it is that I legitimately had no idea where I was going and the lack of editing. I will edit future videos better than this. lol.

Yeah I think I like the OG graphics more than remastered- definitely the unit portraits

You gotta put those hatcheries closer to the minerals and gas

- I shall deal with protoss myself. A-and you do nothing...

5:33 oh snap the ai scanned you interesting. also thank for using the og graphics they look much pleasing to the eyes

This was a fantastic game. This is total war before total war. I actually think that the makers of total war stole a lot of the mechanics from this game

Boring no bcs man, when I was a kid I made tons of them 😂

W Titel

Watching you hesitate using defense matrix just to get empd lmfao

Diablo 1 is the best game I ever played😊

Gg

I remember child me didn't know english very well and I took long to notice that I was failing because I was killing zerg structures, I though I had to just kill them all

Sorry about the beginning. I did not catch this in editing. The game crashed in the first minute. The video starts at 1:06

Haaaa fresh meat😊

As predicted someone beat this time using this method. I was on top for about 3 hours.

Nice job! Enjoy your five minutes 😉

imagine you could travel back in time when this came out and show some diablo 4 or poe 2 gameplay to the guys who are playing this. what games may look like in thirty years from now i wonder

28:45 - the cinematic from the thumbnail

nostalgie

+

I loved how dramaticallt this instigatesd the most deep fears of shadows, fire and the night, and the whispering form of chanting lurking creatures

Man I love that game. First time I got my wife to play it with me we quit at the butcher. Second time she ran screaming from King Leoric. I wish she made it that far down to see Lachdanan in all his glory.

1:52 Player name WTF ?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WTF!?!?!!?

This game had great atmosphere!

I'm playing this game for decades now...😅

why didnt you save and load before the goat shrine?

Lol back to town when the shit goes down hahaha love this game!!

Best game ever!!!

One of many things that were way better in the first game. The prices in lotr1 were dynamic, changing depending on what you bought and sold in the past (exchange rate getting worse, for example if you dumped a lot of grain or wool into the market, the prices of these articles would go down). Also many merchants did not sell all items. Weapons were really expensive too - and to build a knight unit, you had to get both swords and mail, not just mail as in lotr2. I whish we had lotr1 economy and battle units (including morale) combined with lotr2 graphics and music and campaign maps.

52:00 Still terrifies me, even after all these years! 😱

Love the voiceover LOL
