I consider this "video game win time theory": trying to beat a game in the fastest time possible. There are many variables to consider when thinking of "how long" it takes to beat a game versus just simply beating it, and that's why I find this particularly fascinating. Specifically, in this game, I basically illustrate how it would look if an omniscient being were to play a perfect game. It takes a human player at least four to five hours to complete this mission on average. As you can see, I beat it in just under 6 minutes in this video! The winning objective is to kill all black AI troops and destroy 15 military buildings (storehouses, barracks, and school houses).

YouTube user KaMRemakefan made a video of when I beat this mission in 11.5 minutes about a year before this win (    • TSK 20 in 11.5 minutes, (KaM Remake)   ), but I found my approach in that win to be "inefficient". Therefore, I was curious to minimize the amount of time to beat this mission. I have far surpassed my goal by cutting that previous time in half!

But on July 9th, 2016 (about a year after this win), I beat it 90 seconds faster than this . (See    • TSK 20 in 4.5 minutes (TAS) - Knights and ...   .) I submitted this win (and my "4.5 Minutes" win) on the official knights and merchants speedrun page as a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun). See this guide, https://www.speedrun.com/kam/guide/p0hnk , regarding what's interesting about TAS wins, how to do them, etc.
