what does this mean? did you got a full hero, or did you miss 2 upgrades?

there are hard limits one cannot bypass.
first of all the labirinth needs to be made. it takes some time it cannot be shortened.
then a soldier must get in and get 5 promotions, and again this time cannot be shortened. then the soldier must move into the dungeon and get 4 promotions, and once more this time cannot be shortened. All those times combined are around 15 minutes. add a bit of time because the soldier has to physically move there, and the wares have to be moved in (it takes no less than 30 seconds from the time the labirinth is made to the time it can possibly recieve food enough to start training, for example), and you see that it's not possible to shave much below 20 minutes. 19 minutes are certainly possible, in theory (could be a target for wcs), but 18 are already probably below the limit.
do notice that if you had had the food for training, your 19:16 missing 2 promotions would have still become over 20 because the training takes time.

Edit: New point system: You can get points for every category where you participate. To calculate your points, we call the number of the participants in the category with the most participants "n", and your rank in the category "m". For every category you will receive n-m+1 points then and all of your points will be added up. There will be a final ranking of the tournament then - where the participants are sorted descending by their points, and if several players have the same amount of points, they will be sorted ascending by their best times. Too complicated? Ask me for examples
I have one nitpick. "Their best times" is going to be equivalent to "their Atlanteans times" in almost all cases How about using an average (arithmetic mean) of their times instead for the tiebreaker?
Good idea, I can imagine to change the rules accordingly. Or is someone against it?
Best time would be second tiebreaker.

I'd upload at the end of the tournament. If not, my playstyle could be copied...
Well, thats valid, but you can at least post some times, although i think no one can beat you Without posting times this tournament get boring.
My experience is that the tournament doesn't get boring before you reach your limit with every tribe
Or you mean boring for the spectators? Well, currently some participants are still uploading, so it doesn't get boring Or is it?
Can you post at least your first tries when you tried to built a hero in time?
I might be able, but I don't want to

but the fact that it is possible to get a hero in 25 minutes but even in competitive games it is rarely done before 50 minutes should make it clear that no, micromanaging a hero fast is not the only priority in this game.
True!

This is really funny, cause 19 minutes has already been my second try (add the 20 or so seconds for the 2 missing upgrades). So I must have played almost perfectly without knowing
Surely the hard limit is not 9 or something like that, but i guess if we keep optimzing it till the end of tournament with some tries we can make it in 17:59 or 18:19 or something like that

Yes, thats absolutely right, this is why this try cant be counted yet.

because I don't know which one is it I just needed to reload from an automatic save from an intermediate attempt. If you really insist I'll go and search for it. Although it might run further then the time the new repaly starts.

38:29 with amazon. build amazon 6762.
I'm sure that time can be improved significantly. but the major limiting factor is rare woods. and to get more rare woods you need to make some forester to xp, so you can have the master planter or however it was called. so, there is this hard limit to how much rare woods you can get early in the game.

Okay... But it cannot be watched. Do you know why? When I try to watch, it says "the replay has ended" immediately...

AAAAhhh. This was fingertrouble on my side. I identified the correct replay in the game and failed to proper select the files in the file explorer. This should be the correct one.
