I strongly suspect that this is either a very old version of the map, 9000 times easier than the final one, or a completely reworked version by someone "for themselves" (such "smart guys" exist, in case someone is unaware).

Well, I wrote that it's an old version. My link has several other versions, one of which has been edited for an easier game. It's clear that playing on an edited version isn't interesting, but that's not what we're talking about.

Therefore, for me, a record playthrough of an unknown version of the map is completely irrelevant (but this is not a criticism of season, just an observation).

Well, well, this is one of the most difficult maps of its time. There were no wayhomes or anything like that back then. I played it about 10 years ago, and these 2 saves show that the pace is very intense. Instead of your screenshot, it would be more illustrative to show a more complete picture. It's clear that in the tower, we get Berserkers, and this army doesn't seem so threatening anymore. But I liked how the capture of the swamp castles was skipped while keeping the main army.

That's why I'm talking about this record - there's a competitive element here. An attempt to speedrun the very latest version would also be very interesting, but beating season's record, even on an old version, will be (perhaps only for me) much more interesting:cool:
