Sounds cool! If you are updating the "personality" section, then one way I think it could be significantly improved is by removing irrelevant details such as: "asks for help", "demands" and "demand penalties". For example, under Cathy it says: "She has a unique change to her diplomacy in that...

I wish Mansa had just one more turn to force his way into 2nd place (I'd picked Liz for 2nd). ;) @Kaitzilla - it seems we are tied once again, this time at lucky 13th. Well lucky for me, it's EXACTLY where I finished last season too. :D Also, well done to @civac and @Saxo Grammaticus for their...

Many thanks for your feedback Thrasybulos, but I think that my idea bombed. ;) You must have responded at almost exactly the time I destroyed my post and poll. :D On the matter of my now deceased idea -- the reason I made as many categories as possible was to try to give maximum people a...

My question has been answered. @lymond: I don't know how to remove the thread, so please feel free to delete it on my behalf.

@Eauxps I. Fourgott: Extracted from your recently published Playoff Three Writeup: I have a simple theory for this – the AI just builds what it can. AI build decisions are basically coin flips (partially weighted to their personality). If an AI can only make warriors, scouts and settlers, then...

Sullla has posted the whole AH stream for this game on youtube now. Only 5 games were completed: If people don't want to watch, the results so far in spoiler:

In addition, I think CFC has had at least 3 winners this season with: Wildcard 1: 🥇Kaitzilla🥇 and: Game 7: 🥇Saxo Grammaticus🥇

Thanks Plains-Cow! Sorry I had to bet against the pasture for FTD, but paradoxically those 5 points secured a pasture win! Thanks Kaitzilla, I think we're currently 10th. It's a shame we can't combine our scores, it might have given us a chance of catching haphazard1 in the overall contest! :D...

I suspect by far the most likely scenario is that Justinian and Gandhi found the first two religions. Brennus starts with seafood, and we know how the AI prioritises Fishing in this situation. I also expect that peaceweight combined with the long river that stretches between Justinian's and...

I think culture is the correct victory condition for Liz because she has two culture traits, and a culture trait is worth 4 holy cities! I suspect the reason Liz didn't go for culture was due to a low dice roll for her capital location. Rolling a zero would mean 5 holy cities would be needed for...

At least Pacal might be able to afford some nonsense with that capital! My fear for Mansa is that he may try to race "double gold" Pacal to religions, or beat "marble stone" Elizabeth to wonders when he really needs to grab the western land. Even without the forests, Mansa has a weak commerce...

👍 I'm just happy Sullla distinguished our nearly indistinguishable pseudonyms. :D @Kaitzilla: Well that didn't go too well, I mean missing the victory date by a massive 8 turns! Seriously, has anyone scored more than 28 points in Survivor history?

It will be less easy for Plains-Cow to pick first place in game 6 as we have 4 potential winners (Stalin, Gandhi, Joao and Napoleon)!

I don't know about an article, but I think what you are referring to was discussed in S7 playoff G1 thread: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/sulllas-ai-survivor-season-seven-playoff-game-1-thread.684175/ I think Slashninja1467 made the relevant post (quoted below):

I even consider Master of Orion to be a distant relation of Civilization. It is remarkable that the long defunct Microprose created 3 amazing 4x franchises in as many years (that's excluding Railroad Tycoon and X-COM): 1991: Civilization 1993: Master of Orion 1994: Master of Magic The latter...
