Winner: Mansa
Runner Up: Zara First To Die: Sury Survivors: 5 Victory: Culture, T310 Sury is competing for land with two different Imperial AIs and probably won't win. He'll just end up annoying his neighbors with culture with bad consequences. Lizzy(Starts with Fishing for that Lake)/Mansa/Justin should found the first 3 religions. Zara will get swayed by either Lizzy/Mansa. Because the land is pretty much wide expanses of flat grassland, Mansa Musa will basically OP his way to Space/Culture. His AI will go culture first because he'll land most of the religions of the world. Zara doesn't have the traits to challenge him and Justinian won't be able to leverage his grassland even if he out expands Sury. It also doesn't help that he has 2 rivers unlike the other AIs. GG WP.

Winner: Sury
Runner Up: Justinian First To Die: Suleiman Survivors: 3 Victory: Domination, T318
too sleepy to sign
Winner: Mansa Musa
Runner up: Suleiman First to die: Suryavarman Leaders surviving: 4 Victory: Space T317 Normally I would like Suryavarman's chances, but with the two Imperialistic leaders bracketing him he will get squeezed for land. He may be able to force expansion through war, but this will slow him down and put him too far behind the tech leaders. Most likely he dies early after making too many enemies. Elizabeth will help Mansa push the tech pace for a while, but her low military focus and a poorly-timed switch to free religion will lead to her destruction. Zara's religious extremism catches up to him finally and he spends too much time fighting, but he does survive to the end. Justinian will also fight too much to truly compete, and will suffer some poor luck with the spoils of war being claimed by others after he does much of the dying. Suleiman will have a lot of land but will not really be a threat to catch Mansa the Magnificent before the Mali go to space.
Winner: Mansa Musa (I should have never bet against Mansa!)
Runner Up: Suryavarman II First to Die: Justinian I Leaders Surviving: 5 Victory Type and Victory Date: Space Racep, T282 I was very tempted to go for NONE eliminated, but Justinian's religious nuttery will probably get him killed, it is a bit of a bold and odd prediction...I'm not necessarily saying there will be a huge lack of wars, but I do not feel there will be many compared to most games and there will be few eliminations. Sury expands his way ahead but Mansa does what Mansa does to take the win. If I had to take a guess I'd say Zara also has a very good shot but only 2 peeps to pick for winner/runner up.
Let's go wild for the end:
Winner: Sulieman - bridesmaid no longer! Runner up: Justinian First to die: Mansa - Justinian will get a separate religion and Skirmishers won't help against caraphracts. Civs left: 2 Victory: Domination, t310

Just a reminder that the championship match is closing tomorrow at noon my time, that's a little over 16 hours from the time of this post. If you've been holding off on submitting a prediction, now is the time to do so.
Going from the sheet Sullla posted up-thread
![[Image: bracket0.png]](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19563179/bracket0.png) I believe this is a correct representation of who is rooting for whom: Outright wins: Mansa / Zara: Ceiliazul Sury / Zara: Ituralde Mansa / Sury: Pindicator Sury / Mansa: Regoarrarr Zara / Sury: Sian Zara / Mansa: Timmy827 Elizabeth / anyone: Refsteel Ties: Nobody picked Justinian or Suleiman to win or be runner up, so if either of them win or are runner up, we will have some big ties. Similarly Elizabeth only shows up as the winning pick by Refsteel (see above). Sury winning with Suleiman, Justinian or Elizabeth - Ituralde, regoarrarr, von Adlercreutz Mansa winning with Suleiman, Justinian or Elizabeth - Ceiliazul, pindicator Zara winning with Suleiman, Justinian or Elizabeth - Sian, timmy827 Justinian or Suleiman/ Sury - Bobchillingworth, Pindicator, Sian, Superjm Justinian or Suleiman / Zara - Ceiliazul, dazedroyalty, Dp101, Ituralde Justinian or Suleiman / Mansa - Katon, regoarrarr, timmy827 Justinian or Suleiman / Elizabeth - Bobchilingworth, Ceiliazul, dazedroyalty, dp101, Ituralde, Katon, pindiator, regoarrarr, sian, superjm, timmy827, von Adlercreutz Justinian / Suleiman - Bobchilingworth, Ceiliazul, dazedroyalty, dp101, Ituralde, Katon, pindiator, regoarrarr, sian, superjm, timmy827, von Adlercreutz Suleiman / Justinian - Bobchilingworth, Ceiliazul, dazedroyalty, dp101, Ituralde, Katon, pindiator, regoarrarr, sian, superjm, timmy827, von Adlercreutz So basically if you don't already have 40 points (or are named Refsteel), you're not going to win  It was unclear to me how ties were going to be broken, so I will leave that up to our benevolent tournament director... |
