Sid Meier's Colonization (1994) Viceroy speedrun (

Sorry for video's quality. RUclips converts from cute lossless to ugly pixelcrap... guess I'd have to artificially stretch the video for better results.
See complete details about the strategy and tricks used on Arqade : gaming.stackex...
Note that the tools abuse probably costs more (in game) time than it saves. Its real value is to make the strategy more reliable, since farming over12k for the army needs either some more time, a good luck (Cortes & some big loots in rumours), or using this trick.

Played & recorded with Dosbox 0.72 and Colonization latest version (3.0, feb-95, as seen on title screen).
I used 90000 cycles (to make map generation faster, but also in hope it improves the RNG... well, not sure about this, yet)
I used no tools or cheating, but put de Soto's weight at 999 in "NAMES.TXT" out of lazyness to avoid having to restart 81% of my games after landing.
(I think this run was done before this minor edit, but can't be 100% sure)
