Civ4 AI Survivor 2: The AI-stralian Outback

Totally missed the first two rounds of this, so I'm jumping in here. Despite the issues mentioned, I'm thinking Darius takes advantage of the god start. My thinking is he and Gandhi advance in the same direction. If that happens, Gandhi could be a sitting duck, which could also bode well for Asoka, my second-place finisher.

FYI, I just saw I submitted my response in GoogleDocs under HRTV_Andrew, having mixed up my usernames. Sorry about that!

I think Gilgamesh is one of the best leaders, but his start really sucks. Even so, I'm betting he wins by domination, so that must mean he kills Darius first. After that, he proceeds to smash the peaceniks Gandhi and Roosevelt. Saladin will be second place just because he'll be the only one not attacked by the Sumerian juggernaut.

I concur regarding Gilgamesh being a strong leader, but I'm not so sure about his prospects in this game. Regardless, I've consistently seen Gilgamesh perform well in my own games. I suspect the Creative trait helps the AI when it makes stupid city choices that need border pops for food. Admittedly, this is probably less useful later in the game when Caste System for artists and Music is available ... that is, if the AI uses them at all.

By the way, I hope this doesn't bring up bad memories (it doesn't for me ), but Gilgamesh's start of hill sheep + fish reminded me of Team Saturn's hill sheep + clam (or was it crab?) start in that CivFanatics game a while ago.

Bummed out about missing Game 2. I had the correct winner and runner up too Oh well.

Got my predictions in earlier today! I certainly feel much less confident about anything in this game than I did in the first two, though.

Sullla, what's your plan for tomorrow? Same start time of 12pm EST? You were talking about moving it - if you do it'd be great if you could start later rather than earlier. 6am is early enough for me, don't think I'll manage any earlier.

[Sullla]

Plan is for the same time as last week, noon my time zone. I can't shift it any later because I have plans later that evening. I'm sorry that it's an obnoxious time for your part of the world!

[Tasunke]

hehe, and I was about to say that earlier would work for me ... what is your timezone Sulla? Is it US Eastern?

[LogicalTautology]

Yes. He's in EST (11:05 am as of this post)

[Tasunke]
