I have idea for Imperium or OSG: You are Redwing the leader of Alkari and you want to win biggly. You are only restricted to Yuge ship designs beyond your initial colony ship and two scouts. Go big or go home.

I tested this variant on hard and it's doable.

I like to play huge map, powerful nodes, with epic battles and trying to defeat all nodes if possible.  I've tried several races, but really like barbarians for their spellserkers and pathfinding, and lizardmen for fast settlers and waterwalking.  Halflings theoretically good for unrest, but they start really slow and are more a turtle race.

Here is the build I have so far:
2 death
2 nature
1 chaos
2 sorcery

wild boars (great for attacking neutral towns / defense), also consider sprites a close second
death (skeletons: free unrest control, not so great for defense, but good for detecting invisible units and decent at defense against poison death, and illusions)
confusion (ultimate spell for cracking nodes early)

archmage, conjurer, channeler, astrologer.  I used to not have channeler, but I find my style makes constant use of spellcasting and those 3x casting costs really start to hurt later in the game!

I'm thinking about dropping the death books (I really like skeletons but they can't kill too much alone) and adding maybe one sorcery for phantom warriors to make cracking sorcery nodes easier, maybe one in Chaos as well for fire bolt or one more in green for sprites AND wild boars

This build works great to weak / mid sized monsters but it really struggles against super beasts like drakes, archangels, demon lords etc.  Dependent on finding some good treasure from mid sized nodes.

Would love to hear other people's builds, and how they defeat those super monsters, they are really buffed up in CoM.  Or just web / cracks call cheese as before 

Civ4 AI Survivor Season Five: The AI Land



Introduction

After we finished up with Season Four of Civ4 AI Survivor, I needed to take a long break from the event. It's a ton of fun and I love the interactions with the rest of the community, but sheesh, the organizing and planning and writing is a whole lot of work! I wasn't sure if I would be interested in running another season this year or use the time to relax and explore other games on Livestream. However, as everyone knows by now, the COVID-19 virus decided to show up in 2020 and wreck everyone's plans. Suddenly I was spending far more time at home than ever before, and as weeks of quarantine began to extend into months, it became clear that things were going to be pretty bad for a long time yet to come. I figured that I could put some of that extra time to good use and run an event that brings some excitement and happiness into people's lives, even if it's only a couple hundred of Civilization fans on the Internet. If there was ever a time to run another season of AI Survivor, this was surely it.

Therefore we're bringing back all of our favorite Civ4 AI personalities for another round of competition. This will be the fifth time in all that we're embarked on this venture. Back in Season One, I was still figuring out the format and running everything via forums posts at Realms Beyond. It was a bit of a rough process even if it was still fun. For Season Two, I switched over to Livestreaming the matches in real time, and that made things infinintely more fun for everyone with the viewers getting to comment on the action in real time. It's not an exaggeration to say that the running commentary on the Livestream was often much more entertaining than whatever the AI leaders happened to be doing at the moment. Season Three saw more refinements to the process, with maps selected ahead of time and blindly assigned to the leaders for purposes of fairness, and online straw polls/predictions recorded before the matches and included in a series of written previews. Season Four initiated the adoption of the correct starting techs for each civilization along with the implementation of a second AI-controlled observer civ so that we could watch the voting in the Apostolic Palace without fear of a religious victory taking place. We were consistently hitting 100 concurrent viewers on Livestream for Season Four and 150 entrants into the picking contest. Can we beat those numbers for Season Five?



The basic tournament structure will remain the same from past seasons. The 52 AI leaders in Civilization 4 get randomly sorted into eight opening round games, half of them with 6 leaders and half of them with 7 leaders. Two leaders will advance to the playoff round from each match, the winning leader and the non-winner with the highest in-game score. AIs who survive the match but do not advance will get one final opportunity to make the playoffs in a Wildcard game played after the opening round matches. The Wildcard game has had as many as a dozen leaders and as few as six leaders in past years and it can get a little bit weird as a result. (The Wildcard game is also the only one that we run with Raging Barbarians turned on, and yes, we have seen an AI leader lose their capital city to the barbs!) This creates our field of 18 leaders sorted into three playoff games of 6 AIs apiece. Finally, we feed the top two leaders from each playoff game, the winner and the highest scoring non-winner, into a championship game and crown an overall winner of the competition.

For Season Four, we tried out a seeding system akin to what the World Cup uses when drawing teams into its groups. This proved to be a big success and we'll be continuing it for Season Five. The top eight AI leaders based on past performance will be placed in Pool 1, and the next eight AI leaders based on past performance will be placed in Pool 2. Each of the opening round games will have one leader drawn from Pool 1 and one leader drawn from Pool 2. The remaining 36 AI leaders in Civ4 will be unseeded and can be randomly drawn into any opening round game. Here's a list of which leaders fall into which category:





AI leader rankings are based on our customized scoring system of past performances; click here for a link to the full ranking as of the end of Season Four. AI leaders score 5 points for a first place finish, 2 points for a second place finish, and 1 point for each elimination of another leader. While this is a purely arbitrary system, it seems to provide an effective metric for evaluating prior seasons of the competition. The idea behind the seeding system is to stop the top AI leaders from hitting one another in an opening round "group of death" match while still preserving the random draw element that makes this event so much fun. Choosing to pick pools of leaders ranked 1-8 and 9-16 is of course another arbitrary decision but there's some logic to having one top leader and another secondary leader in each of the eight opening round games. Note that we did have a tie for the final seeded spot between Shaka and Boudica, and Shaka got the nod by virtue of having a better performance in the most recent year of competition.

The game settings will continue over from the last Civ4 AI Survivor competition. We use Deity AIs to speed up the overall pace of the game and reach victory results sooner. The map script is the default Pangaea, designed to keep all of the AI leaders in close contact with one another. Prior to the Season Three competition, I went ahead and tested out some games with Continents or Archipelago setups, and they just didn't work that well. The Civ4 AI doesn't really know how to run naval invasions, and there were lots of wars that just did nothing because the AIs couldn't reach one another. They need to be on the same continent from what I've found, and Pangaea works well enough for that. We use Normal game speed and Standard sized maps, with the one exception of dropping the sea level to "Low" setting for the games with 7 AIs to create a little more room for the extra competitior.

For the game options, the biggest effect on the gameplay is turning off Tech Trading. I'll repeat here what I wrote in the setup phase from past years: "When tech trading is left on, the AIs tend to stay bunched together with no one ever getting too far ahead or falling too far behind. With everyone fielding the same units, it becomes difficult for the AIs to attack one another successfully, and generally makes for less interesting games. But when tech trading gets switched off, all of the AIs have to sink or swim based on their own research efforts. This spreads them out much more widely on the tech tree, and once the laggards fall a full generation behind in military tech, they tend to get swallowed up by their more advanced rivals." With tech trading removed, we frequently see some AIs fall an entire era or more behind in technology, which prevents would-be conquerers from ignoring their economies and trading their way to tech parity. A balanced approach tends to work the best in these games, with alternating periods of warring to expand followed by peaceful consolidation. Woe to those who fall behind in military tech in this competition - it nearly always ends badly. We've also increasingly noticed the different research preferences of the various AI leaders in recent years, with the warmongers overly obsessing on military techs and some of the peacenik AIs refusing to pick up Rifling even as they're dying to foreign invaders. Turning on tech trading would remove this important aspect of the competition and make the overall setup a lot less interesting.

Otherwise, we turn off Vassal States to prevent the AIs from surrendering to one another. If they can vassal when losing wars, hardly any of the AIs ever get eliminated, and that's boring. We want to see bloodthirsty games! No escape, no mercy. We also turn off Events because they're kind of a Single Player thing, and the AI doesn't understand what they do. We similarly use Aggressive AI to spice things up and increase the number of wars. The big thing that Aggressive AI does is remove a flag that will stop the AIs from declaring certain wars. Normally they will not attack someone who has more than double their military power. Turning on Aggressive AI removes that check in their coding logic. This leads to occasionally suicidal war declarations based on diplomatic relations, and that's exactly the kind of thing we want to see!

New Changes for Civ4 AI Survivor Season Five

There are a couple of other minor tweaks to the format for this season. First of all, we're changing up the climate setting once again, largely just for fun. The first four seasons of AI Survivor used "Temperate", "Arid", "Tropical", and "Rocky" climates for the games, and we'll go with the final "Cold" option for this season. This has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the real-life location where Season Five of Survivor was shot in Thailand but there's nothing to be done about that. The television Survivor would never be filmed in a cold climate for obvious reasons. (I'm honestly a little surprised that I've been able to keep making puns involving the season name and the word "AI", happy coincidence there.) We'll also continue to use the "Choose Religions" options so that we can avoid getting Buddhism and Hinduism as the dominant religions in every game.

The main change for Season Five involves the Apostolic Palace. This has been the most controversial aspect of prior seasons from a gameplay perspective, with the AI civ that controls the Apostolic Palace often using it to shut down literally every invasion launched against them, or forcing everyone in the game to declare war on some hapless target. The argument in favor of the AP is that it introduces a wild and unpredictable element of chaos into each game which can be a lot of fun to watch. The argument against the AP is that a single wonder shouldn't have such a massively disproportionate effect on the rest of the gameplay, and in particular, it shouldn't become a magical shield that can shut down all aggression for hundreds of turns on end. I decided to run a poll question asking the community whether they wanted to see the inclusion of the Apostolic Palace for Season Five. The results were decisive:



With more than 100 votes cast, the community chose to remove the Apostolic Palace by greater than a 2:1 margin. Therefore we won't be running an AI observer civ for Season Five as there won't be any need. I will Worldbuilder the Apostolic Palace into the player-controlled observer civ on the first turn of the game, and that should prevent any of the AI competitiors from being able to build it themselves. This is a modest nerf to the religious-focused AIs since it takes away one of their tools for controlling the diplomacy. On the other hand, it may actually help some of them by stopping religious zealots from launching wars that they can't possibly win through the AP. Contestants in the picking contest should be aware that this wonder won't be around to influence things one way or the other in this season.

Finally, after leaving the goody huts (tribal villages) in the game for the past few seasons, we're finally getting rid of them this year. We've been moving towards a less random and more standardized setup for the past few years and this seems like an obvious next step. No more cases of someone getting lucky and popping a critical tech out of a hut on the first turn of the game - now they need to research their own stuff like everyone else.

Watching and Following Season Five

Games will be Livestreamed on my Twitch channel linked below, with most games starting at noon local time (east coast of North America) on Fridays. I will archive the recordings on Twitch and try to post them on YouTube in smaller chunks for those who have trouble accessing the Twitch videos. I'm also soliciting help once again in putting together the written reports on the games that took place, in the same fashion that we've done for the games from past seasons. No one volunteered for this in Season Four and I had to write everything myself, which was part of the reason why I was skeptical about running another season. It will be a huge help if the community can take over the burden of doing the written reports and allow me to concentrate on streaming and administering the games. Anyone interested in volunteering to help out?

For those who are new to our event, we run a picking contest for each game that serves as the biggest driver of interest in AI Survivor. We ask contest entrants to pick:

* The winning AI leader
* The second place AI leader
* The "First to Die" AI leader
* The victory type of the winner
* The victory date of the winner
* The total number of wars in the game

The closer that the pick gets to the correct answers, the more points that it scores. We track scores for both individual games and the overall competition so there's always a chance to win an individual round even for those who missed earlier matches. The picking contest system will continue to use a Google Forms submission, which was a massive timesaver in recent seasons as compared to originally compiling forum posts. The current bracket will always be visible online, and I'll do my best to update it here on my website, on my Twitch page, on the Sullla Discord channel, and at Realms Beyond. We'll have a forum discussion thread there, of course, which I'll link on this page once the competition has started. Scoring remains the same from past years, with points for first place, second place, first to die, victory date/type, and total number of wars. I went through the suggestions about different potential scoring goals after the last competition, and none of them felt like they would work as well as the current system. With points for the top two AI spots along with victory date and number of wars, we had scoring drama right up to the end of most every game, even when the winner had long since been determined. Check out the links below for more information on the scoring contest and how to submit your entries.

With all that said, here's a big list of the relevant links that follows below. Enjoy the new season of AI Survivor!

Schedule: Scheduled for Friday, 29 May 2020 at Noon EST
Live Game One leader drawing this Friday on Livestream!

Fire away with your questions. This should be fun.  

Reposting for visibility. Alhazard and I are looking to start a succession game of Old World to showcase the game and hopefully inspire some discussion. Anyone wants to join us? Thread here - https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...pid=730201

Hey anyone interested in a succession game for Old World?  I would really like the map to be on small size because in my experience, larger maps cause huge performance issues. Adding additional AIs doesn't seem to affect performance for some reason. I would be willing to be flexible with anything else except no games on Northern Ocean, that map script is too boring.

Hey guys,

Some may have already seen this WIP search/collecting thread in other places but I'm on the hunt for Civilization series scenarios/mods relating to these topics/games/TV&Films:

- Mars / Lunar Colonization
- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (& other alien world colonization)
- Command & Conquer / Red Alert
- Dune / Arrakis
- Master of Magic
- Sid Meier's Colonization
- Master of Orion
- Heroes of Might & Magic
- Babylon 5
- Star Trek
- Star Wars
- Stargate
- Apocalypse (After WW3 / Fallout / Mad Max / Judge Dredd / Doom / Terminator / Zombies)
- Lord of the Rings
- Game of Thrones
- The Elder Scrolls
- Warcraft & Starcraft / Warhammer & W40k
- Final Fantasy
- Civilization Crossover Mods (Make a Civ game look like another Civ game)

I've mainly been looking at classic Civ games (eg Civ2, Civ2ToT, and Civ3) so far, however I'm now starting to look at mods related to these categories for the newer Civ games too (eg Civ4, 5 & 6). I've found a lot of scenarios/mods on my own, and now I'm even making a few of my own lol! I've also decided to add FreeCiv to the list as there's been some interesting total conversion Modpacks released over the last few years so it'll be interesting to see what cool stuff comes along in the years to come. Civ1 and specialty spin off games like SMAC, Civ4Col, CivBE get small mentions where applicable but not everywhere due to their lack of mods under all these categories. I'd love to include Call to Power 1 & 2 as well but there just doesn't seem to be many total conversion mods for them out there and certainly none I can find under the above scifi/fantasy categories of interest.

Over the last year I've searched the big Civilization sites like CivFinatics, Apolyton, We Play Civ, CivForum.de, and a huge amount of long lost classic Civilization site webarchives which you can find the full list of HERE and naturally I'm open to suggestions of more places to search if you know of any I've missed! I've also private msg'ed some of the collectors/gurus for this stuff and I've made a few individual threads here and there but now I figure it's time I do a more combined public post in each of the Civ game communities to see if there's more lost treasures out there in people's collections relating to the stuff I love but haven't found. Plus this thread can be helpful to others looking for scenarios relating to these topics for many years to come.

This scenario searching and collecting has also lead to another important Civ community project, scenario rescue and preservation! When I find a long lost scenario with no download I create a new one on CivFanatics using my large file upload access (some of you may have already seen me do this with stuff like Drift's Civ3 Master of Myrror). I've also recently started a huge new scenario catalog & rescue project creating proper download pages at CivFanatics (even rescuing lost scenarios that are not part of this search cause I'm nice like that lol), as well as extra scenario download mirror pages on ModDB and Internet Archive Library to ensure they don't get lost again as both those sites are long living & offer free hosting. At the moment I'm setting up Civ2 scenario libraries on these other sites but I look forward to setting up these library file mirrors for other Civ game scenarios in the future. Uploading to these sites is not hard so I hope others follow my example and add to all these collections in the future to ensure all these amazing pieces of work live on!


I've mentioned this in a few places but I'm working on a long term Civilization series youtube video project and Civilization website where I show people how to play classic Civ games in HD but I also take people on a tour of mods and scenarios that I love! A lot of these scenario types above would come under the category of 'crossover series' where an existing popular game, movie or tv franchise is brought into Civ's amazing TBS sandbox gameplay formula. I already have videos and tributes on my website and youtube channel for a lot of those other game/TV universes (eg I semi-regularly post C&C RA and Dune multiplayer matches) resulting in me having many community connections in those areas, so once this is all eventually done the series will hopefully bring in some fresh interest into the Civ community here.


Anyway here are the results of my searches so far... so if you know of something missing or more places to search let me know!

(Note: Many of these projects have working downloads in the newest comments at the end of the thread instead of the original first post due to their creators being long gone and us fans rescuing their work)

I'm in the planning stages of the next season for Civ4 AI Survivor. There's one major question that I wanted to ask the community before starting: should we include the Apostolic Palace in the next season? I posted a public poll for anyone who wants to cast their vote at this location:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MB22rXw...L_Atk/edit

The current plan is to let this poll run for a few days and make a formal announcement about AI Survivor next week, with a potential starting date at the end of May. If you care about the Apostolic Palace one way or the other, now's the time to cast your vote!
