Important to go fast tutorial for RTS gamer now you are Dawn of War expert!

Steam release (v1.51) played under Windows 7 x64. Tutorial skirmish: Space Marine versus Eldar (random opponent).

I don't play much RTS and certainly not this game. I'm a bit sketchy on the key shortcuts, but it doesn't matter much for this tutorial. Just gotta build up a tier and raze the opponent's HQ while satisfying all tutorial objectives.

Opponent is random (but it's usually Eldar). Starting position is random, either top left or bottom right. The map is symmetrical, so it shouldn't matter too much, but I find bottom right easier to manage.

I tried to optimize this "run" as best I can. Most of what I build is required, except for a couple listening posts and extra scout team for requisition rate. I also build Target Finders as it seems to help take down the Eldar's HQ slightly faster.

I'm not sure if I want to try speedrunning the regular campaign. There are already ILs for those, but I'll check them out. Might require some hardcore optimization tricks. ;)
