March Madness: Civ4 AI Edition

[pindicator]

Going to go with the majority here, which is probably bad news for a lot of you considering how well i've done picking these so far

Winner: Catherine
Runner Up: Victoria
First to Die: Gandhi
Number of Leaders Surviving: 3
Victory Type and Victory Date: Domination T324

[Becko]

Winner: Stalin
Runner Up: Saladin
First to Die: Gandhi
Number of Leaders Surviving: 2
Victory Type and Victory Date: Domination, T321

This one is fairly straight-forward. Gandhi triggers the first war by doing something silly, like spreading Hinduism to all of his neighbors and then switching to Judaism himself. After that, there's warfare in one corner or the other of the continent until the end of the game. Stalin comes out on top by using the elaborate strategy of building twice as many units as anyone else.

Just a reminder that the predictions for this game will close this evening, in about 8-10 hours from this post. There's still time to submit entries if you haven't done so already.

Spoiler for the quick and dirty results.

1) Catherine
2) Stalin
3) Victoria
4) Saladin
5) Charlemagne
6) Gandhi

Domination victory on Turn 332, only the two Russians surviving. This one gets bloody.

Wow, I got everything right but victory type/date and # of civs left! Mother Russia was strong in this, except where Stalin got his ass kicked...but then STALIN RISING! Gandhi being eliminated was like 90% picked. But such war! This was a true bloodbath. Must have been because Gandhi was in the game.

[Commodore]

That. Was. Awesome.

[Bobchillingworth]

Mad props (does anyone say that anymore?) to Stalin. I'm genuinely impressed with the two survivors, luck and AI idiocy notwithstanding.

[Lord Parkin]

Wow, what an intense game! Certainly no holds were barred in this one.

How will you be dealing with the wildcard in this one, given third place didn't survive?

#1 - Catherine ✓
#2 - Saladin x
#3 - Charlemagne x
#4 - Victoria x
#5 - Stalin x
#6 - Gandhi ✓

Darn, Saladin was doing quite well until he got triple-teamed. Oh well, still got first and last place right.
