I plan to investigate the victory conditions in my curios ci player series, but it is a bit of a bigger investigation

Sulla has likely already decided on a special game for this Friday, but in case he's still shopping for suggestions:
* Bull Baiting: a game with 6 Sitting Bulls + Julius Caesar
* The Championship Everyone Would Prefer: Mansa, Gandhi, JC, HC, Stalin, Wang Kon
* Only War: Monty, Shaka, Genghis, Catherine, Isabella, Napoleon

You guessed it! I'm planning to do a version of this idea (although not these exact leaders), the people that everyone wanted to see in the championship but didn't get. "Bull Baiting" is hilarious as a concept but I'm not sure watching six Sitting Bulls would be that entertaining in practice.

Bull Baiting actually sounds like a nightmare. JC FTD. Even praetorians aren't hacking through those walled-protective-totem-poled archers early on and then it's just a reverse Ghandi game where JC is everyone's worst enemy. Remember Bull's unit build preference is 35/40.
My picks for Sullla's picks are, if it's the BEST AIs: HC, Justinian, Mansa Musa, JC.... and then it drops off a bit. Stalin? Pacal? KK? Gilgamesh? And I think a lot would argue with Mansa at this point but c'mon that guy is dominant. EDIT: After after a quick brain fart I realized this would just be HC, Justinian, Stalin, Mansa Musa, and JC. All EXTREMELY solid and obviously the current top 6. Of course knowing Sullla's disdain for BK I wouldn't be surprised if he tossed this charlemagnatain into that mix to be humiliated.
Or the championship we wanted where people didn't throw their games, we get JC instead of Asoka, HC instead of Mehmed, Pacal and Louise instead of Washington and BK?

Looks like the roster for our current championship game.

This is the most serious I've ever been. Right now, Sitting Bull and Sitting Bull (again) are neck-in-neck for the lead!
If you're a Charlemange fan, now's time to get your vote in. Sullla is contractually obligated to consider including one of these options in the All Star Game.

And here was I thinking it'd be "A Medley of Monties". See how crazy the world would get.
Of course we'd still be at chariots on turn 500.

This does appear to be real. Maybe this happened when the observer civ was added. Mehmed's stone spot is missing the fish also.
