It’s a CIV IV watching party on Twitch where we witness various AIs from one of the most enduring CIV titles duke it out on a Pangea map, max difficulty, no tech trading, no vassals, and Aggressive AI turned on. Sullla randomly picks the AIs and also randomly generates each new map. He also goes into world builder mode to make sure nothing gets missed, commentating on the wacky events that seem to get nuttier and less predictable every year! In Sullla’s own words, Civ4 AI Survivor is a tournament competition pitting the 52 leaders in the game against one another in a battle for supremacy. Each season starts with a random draw, then proceeds to eliminate the AI leaders across 13 games before crowning an ultimate champion. Have you ever wondered what type of leaders perform the best in Civ4: warmongers or pacifists? Wonder builders or religious fanatics? Let’s find out! Who will survive?” Read all about it, and join in the fun, here . tweet Civilization IV NobleZarkon PolyCast 432: The Relation is Tangential By The_J | May 10, 2024 0 Comment The four-hundred-and-thirty-second episode of PolyCast ,The Relation is Tangentialis now available for streaming on the PolyCast YouTube Channel .
