Sullla’s AI Survivor: Let The Games Really Begin!

Season 9 Playoff Game 1!

Sullla’s AI Survivor is an annual competition of all Civilization IV AI Leaders by long-time Civilization enthusiast and streamer Sullla. CFC is very excited to announce that the popular series returns after almost a two-year hiatus with Season Nine. AI Survivor has become quite an event over the years for both old and new Civ IV fans.

Wildcard Recap (click for write-up): Sitting Bull of the Native Americans, yes, Sitting Bull, finally stood up last week and won a very impressive Spaceship victory. Justinian of the Byzantines placed second in a very crowded field. Those two will advance on to the playoff round, while the remaining 9 contestants return home to lick their wounds. The wildcard matchup proved as fun as ever, as the Raging Barbarians provided much early excitement. The Barbs captured or razed eight cities, slowing down early game progression for the leaders. In fact, Hatshepsut of Egypt lost her capital to barbarians and came extremely close to being destroyed. She did end up surviving the game with the help of Justinian and her culture.

The last few weeks have been a tough road for Civfanatics, but Mylene (aka Fippy) and Thrasybolus are now tied for 3rd place in the overall contest!

Playoff Game 1 ON June 5th (12:00 PM EST)

Playoff Game 1: The real stakes begin this week as the playoff round commences. This first playoff match looks especially interesting, as we have the backstabbing Catherine of Russia and everyone’s favorite Troll King, Wang Kon of Korea. Gilgamesh of Sumeria played one of the most impressive games ever in the opening round, but will his rough start limit him this game? Can Joao of Portugal finally prove his worth and advance to the Championship? His start this game would indicate yes.
