Crap, didn't do very well that time around. Looks like only Ceil was mostly on-target.

Mansa Musa is so good, he steals wonders from games he's not even in!

Well, I always knew it was a long shot sticking with my pre-map guess. I still maintain Boudica would have had a good chance of winning if she hadn't landed such an awful start.

Getting the right winner, runner up, first to die, and victory condition isn't mostly on target?!

I'm pretty sure that someone else would point that out I just wanted to be first...

Stalin, you were the chosen one! You were meant to defeat the Celts, not be defeated by them!

Sullla, the link from the front page to playoff game 3 points at the report for playoff game 2.

Thanks for doing this series, it's been awesome.

Shame that ASM beat you to it mischief

Incredibly poor performance by Stalin, especially with that start. Tons of food, river commerce, quite decent amounts of land to expand into...and he just couldn't do anything with it.

Overall not too bad on the picks. I got the two to move on correct, although in the wrong order, and the first to die. Close on the finish date as well, although I was thinking space. From Sullla's report Zara's ship was getting close to launch. So I am pretty happy with my picks on this one.

Now to think about the final game. It is interesting to look at the traits of the final AIs. Not really surprising that there is a lack of protective, charismatic, or aggressive leaders. Two imperialistic AIs surprises me a bit, but we have seen over this series that the AI seems to get very solid value from the trait. The presence of financial, creative, philosophical, organized is to be expected. No industrial? Well, as we just saw with Pericles too much wonder chasing can be detrimental to AI survival.

Who to pick? Have to wait and see the map, but I am leaning towards Mansa and Zara.
