I don't think so. When my tanks have 3 stars then it'll boring like this. Only faster, because it can respawn maximum with 6 tanks

So what? The speed of respawning is limited by "Respawn Delay" which is much longer in the 1st loop. So it will take about 30 minutes to complete stages 1-35, while you can complete stages 36-70 in 13-14 minutes.

I'm trying remake this, but I didn't found anything can make it better. Here's preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWo7Tdmcls Stage 37,38,40 are too poor, it make me despair. I don't know what can I do with that stages because I only have little times :(

What do you mean? They look pretty good to me. Remember that you have 30+ more stages to make, so it's inevitable that some stages will look less impressive than others. But even current movie is entertaining enough (although I liked your old ideas from previous movies too, maybe you should reimplement them in future stages). I suggest you to continue doing what you did there. So far Battle City is your best TAS.

No, I haven't noticed anything obvious. At this point there's too many factors of optimality, so the level of optimization can only be evaluated by examining actual movie Input and testing various guesses, like: would it be better to collect 3 stars in stage 37 instead of "2 stars + grenade"? I hope you've tested all approaches.

Hm, I never thought that this game would be finished with a game over :D I liked the first version because it is a part of the overall action, and it must be a faster input end.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

In the first video stage 69 is not completed, so the 2nd version is better. But now that you've brought the question, I think I have even better idea. Since you're making a "2nd quest" playthrough, it would be more logical to complete stage 70 instead of stage 35, and then invoke GAME OVER at the beginning of stage 71. But since stage 35 is the same as stage 70, and you can't directly start from stage 36, I suggest you to do the following: at the very beginning of the movie you choose CONSTUCTION, then immediately exit to the title screen and start 2 PLAYERS from stage 35. The map of stage 35 will now be empty, and you can quickly complete the stage. Then, from stage 36 the actual walkthrough begins. Only this way you can claim that you've "played through the 2nd loop", instead of "playing through the end of the 1st loop and then though the most part of 2nd loop".
