AI Survivor is an annual competition of all Civilization IV AI Leaders by long-time Civilization enthusiast and streamer Sullla.
Game 5 from a week ago saw Ramesses of Egypt pull out a rare Cultural Victory, closing the game with a power-move Great Artist bomb to seal the deal one turn later. On the last turn, Pacal narrowly beat out Hatty for second place. Once again, poor Hatty (score leader most of the game) failed to place though some late-game warfare hindered her from grabbing a cultural victory herself.
Game 6 will feature a balanced mix of aggressive and passive leaders that could lead to some unpredictable results. Stalin of Russia is the top seed, while Gandhi of India is the second seed. Meanwhile, we have two of the most aggressive leaders in CIV IV in Ragnar(Rags) of the Vikings and Napoleon(Nappy) of France. Stalin, Rags, and Nappy surely mean a lot of wars but will the peaceniks hold on? Be sure to make your picks in the picking context.
Sullla’s AI Survivor Season 8 continues Friday, July 12th on Sullla’s Twitch Channel at noon EST.
