The Millennia community manager Katten has dropped by at CivFanatics to announce the new DLC “Ancient Worlds”, which will be released on August 12, together with the next update!

The new DLC will bring us new neat features like a quick start, and will focus (clearly) on the early parts of human history. The new update will allow you to start with a settler instead of your first settlement, and you need to earn that one! The DLC will have a specific version of this. In the DLC you also get an ice age start, with icy terrain, ice age megafauna such as mammoths, and a new national spirit. Check out this thread for more details!

Sullla’s AI Survivor Season Eight – Game 8

By | July 29, 2024

AI Survivor is an annual competition of all Civilization IV AI Leaders by long-time Civilization enthusiast and streamer Sullla.

Game 7 saw Elizabeth “Lizzy” of England pull out an extremely shocking Domination victory. While Lizzy is not prone to winning in Survivor she is certainly geared toward being a pacifist. However, Lizzy simply out-teched everyone else and when they attacked her she took advantage of her military tech superiority. Another surprise was that Sury of Khmer, the favorite, performed absolutely abominably in this game. Yet he did survive for the playoffs having been left with one ice city. Mehmed placed second in the match. What will Lizzy do in the Alternate Histories for this game?

Game 8 features an interesting matchup of primarily militaristic leaders. Favorite Julius Caesar of Rome is the top-seeded leader and will surely be a threat with his Praetorian units. Louis XIV of France is our second-ranked leader. Louie is renown for wonder-building and not being the most trustworthy leader. Of interest here is that we have quite a few imperialistic and charismatic leaders. Expansion will be fast and wars should be frequent. Lincoln of America is the only leader on the map that is truly peaceful. Will he survive? Be sure to make your picks in the picking context.

Sullla’s AI Survivor Season 8 continues Friday, August 2nd on Sullla’s Twitch Channel at noon EST.

We welcome you to join the fun by discussing here
