March Madness: Civ4 AI Edition

[Brian Shanahan]

Winner: Louis strongest traits, IMO, willing to go to war without being suicidal about it.
Runner Up: Qin. AIs don't handle attacking PRO leaders at all, and I think he'll do well in this group.
First to Die: Total guess Alex.
Number of Civs Surviving: 3
Victory Type and Victory Date Domination, turn 334.

[Commodore]

Winner: Qin. He's got bad traits but a good attitude. Plus, Louis is basically his funder (fail gold!)
Runner Up: Louis, score from wonders.
First to Die: Isabella pisses someone off...
Number of Civs Surviving: 4
Victory Type and Victory Date Space, Turn 321

[Jkaen]

Winner: Isabella - I think the spiritual leaders seem to work better with the AI
Runner up: Joao - He has ok stats and a nice corner to fight from
First to die: Qin - think he will get squeezed
Civs: 3
Victory: Diplomacy turn 347 - think it will be a slower game than last round

[Sian]

Winner: Isabella ... if she gets a religous block behind her, if not, she's FtD

Number of Civs Surviving: 2
Victory Type and Victory Date: Dominion t342

[Twinkletoes89]

Winner: Isabella (decent traits plus a good amount of decent land she can claim)

[pindicator]

Winner: Louis
Runner Up: Isabella
FOTD: Brennus
Number of Civs Surviving: 3
Victory Type and Victory Date: Diplomatic T340

Isabela spreads her first religion to Louis, and they team up in a religious bloc to take over the game. Louis does the heavy lifting and Isabela rides his coattails

Winner: Louis
Runner Up: Joao
First to Die: Isabella
Number of Civs Surviving: 4
Victory Type and Victory Date T340 Diplo

[Bobchillingworth]

Winner: Alexander, good priorities for this match- he shouldn't ever be low in power, and his UB & Philo should keep him about on par in tech with this weak field.

Runner Up: Louis, if he can avoid dying he should have a pretty good score thanks to wonders.

First to Die: Joao, low military prioritization + bad UU for pangea + fights over religion = death.

Number of Civs Surviving: 4, Joao and probably Boudica are goners, but I think Isabella might be able to convert enough others to form a reasonably stable bloc, plus none of these guys seem likely to leap ahead of the others in tech.

Victory Type and Victory Date: Diplomatic, T335, I'm guessing Alexander eventually wins as the head of some religious bloc, with the time for a diplo win slown down by a poor tech pace, but domination out of the question due to religious friendship and the inability of most leaders to get an edge over each other.
