Yep. But I haven't said "first results"  I especially underlined "first decent results"  Curse you english language . But yeah, more respect to you, i find it hard beating you and Andrei's record. Although i stopped playing for 2 days since thesis and stuff. All were close calls, and i'm frustrated that i keep emptying my gallery folder after taking so many pictures. There's a thin line between success and failure. I am sure that many players were close enough to beat these records. But it is one thing to be close to beat them and another thing - really to beat them. |

That's the frustrating part, where you know you can beat them, but a slight thing happen, such as your allies not capturing a city or you misclicked, can cause you to not beat it. Speed running this game, or speed running in general, is more on resilience really, since doing something over an over until you finally beat requires resilience, and having a lot of free time. Doesn't help i already got the title, i find myself quitting after being 3 turns behind the record, which i don't usually do. |

Another annoying thing is when I map out my strategy, and it requires me capturing city x and y, and I capture city x the first time, but not city y thus ruining my strategy. The most annoying part is when you restart, go 10 turns in, only to realize you forgot to capture city x, but you captured city y... then you have to restart the whole thing over again... I call this "One thing goes right the first time, something else goes wrong. Something else goes right the second time, the other thing goes wrong." |

Louis Gabriel Suchet Moltke famously said : " No battle plan survives contact with the enemy ". Meaning that you shouldn't really fret if you failed to capture the city. In my Denmark 1798, things that would go wrong, went wrong. I remember misclicking and because of that i failed to capture St. Petersberg, but i simply didn't capture the city beside it, and the next turn the enemy spawned a general on the other city, which may have prevented that general from spawning in another city. All you can do is adjust to it really. And be resilient, since beating records can be really frustrating. I remember in another thread where Andrei stated that he took 2 days to beat one of stoic's record.
