AI Survivor is an annual competition of all Civilization IV AI Leaders by long-time Civilization enthusiast and streamer Sullla.
In what I now call “The Year of the Peacemongers” Pericles of Greece won a space victory in Wildcard Game 1. Pericles is the sole leader to advance to the Playoffs from this matchup. The only true warmonger on the map, Catherine of Russia, was quickly dispatched early game. Poor Hatshepsut (Hatty) of Egypt failed once again to score any points this game, despite getting out to a very impressive start. Hatty was eventually excised from this game late by Zara of Ethiopia, who played strong but not enough to overtake Pericles’s tech lead. Hatty remains the only leader never to score a point in AI Survivor. Surprisingly, raging barbarians were not very impactful on this map except for Asoka, who did have some early issues.

Wildcard Game 2 is a reverse makeup of leaders than the first Wildcard Game. Almost all the leaders are either warmongers or at least aggressive, except for Washington of America. Suryavaram of Khmer is the most decorated in this matchup, but this appears to be anyone’s game. Raging Barbarians are again online for this matchup so expect some earlier shenanigans from those uncivilized brutes. Be sure to make your picks in the picking context.
Sullla’s AI Survivor Season 8 continues Friday, August 23rd on Sullla’s Twitch Channel at noon EST.
