[S][W]Savage Empire Speedrun in 1 In-Game Day

17th November 2024 by Dino

As I wrote in the last entry here, a speedrun of The Savage Empire was completed last year in just two in-game days.

Crystal Phoenix Hobbies, the author of that speedrun, improved their record a few days ago, publishing a new speedrun showing the game being completed in just one in-game day.

Both of these speedruns use a shorter route than that which I took when I set the current record for speedrunning The Savage Empire in about 15 minutes, and so it's not hard to imagine a new record being set one day.

I've added the new speedrun to the Speedruns section of the Savage Empire Walkthrough.

[S][W]Savage Empire Speedrun in 2 In-Game Days

9th November 2024 by Dino

A relatively recent Savage Empire speedrun by Crystal Phoenix Hobbies, published in July last year, has just been brought to my attention. While it doesn't set any new records in terms real-world time, it's remarkable in that it completes the game in just 2 in-game days, and also for its novel route that bypasses the Kotl city entirely.

I've added a link to this speedrun in the Speedruns section of the Savage Empire Walkthrough page.

[W][R]UW2 Cheats and Exult 1.10 Released

10th September 2024 by Dino

Karl Clinckspoor has recently published a webpage that can apply a number Ultima Underworld 2 Cheats to the game's executable (based on the GOG distribution of the game). There's also a GOG forum thread that summarises what cheats are available, and a write-up on how they work.

And just yesterday, Exult version 1.10 has been released, bringing with it a list of bugfixes and improvements.
