Forest Nothing in 29:59 - I Cut Down EVERY Tree | AoE2 Speedrun World Record

Forest Nothing in 29:59 in-game time: I cut down every single tree on the map, beating the old world record by 3 minutes and 28 seconds. The first Forest Nothing x256 run under 30 minutes! Forest Nothing is an Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition speedrun category: start with a map full of forest and chop down every tree as fast as possible. In this video I explain the maths behind the run: where to spawn, the build order, when Wheelbarrow beats training villagers, how far each lumber camp should reach, and when Treadmill Crane becomes worth it. ⏱️ RUN Time: 29:59 (in-game time) Previous world record: 33:27 by Timbrhoggvandi 📊 LEADERBOARD & RULES https://www.speedrun.com/aoe2de/leade... Tiny map · All Visible · Dark Age start · 200 pop · High resources · Fast speed (2.0) · Allowed cheat: "going above and beyond" 🧠 WHAT'S EXPLAINED Spawn location: why your distance to the far corner decides the run Build order: delete the TC, 35× Double-Bit Axe, market, Castle Age Wheelbarrow: villagers drop off after every tree, so only stacks that cut a round trip really count Lumber camps: clear more rows per camp as Wheelbarrow goes up Treadmill Crane: only after 200 pop, then move camps sooner 📌 CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro & world record 0:44 Spawn location 1:33 Build order 2:17 Wheelbarrow or villagers? 3:19 Lumber camp spacing 3:54 Treadmill Crane 4:27 The Speedrun GG to Timbrhoggvandi and everyone on the Forest Nothing leaderboard for pushing this category. 👍 If you like speedruns and AoE2 maths, like and subscribe for more runs and breakdowns. 💬 Which strategy surprised you most?
