CivBattleRoyale Season 4 (CBR X4)

[Blake00]

Hey guys, I recently stumbled across the Civ 5 Battle Royale (CBR) discord and after speaking to some of the guys there and some of our staff here I figured why not cover their stuff in a thread here as they do some pretty darn cool stuff. They have a pretty big following and anything that keeps the flame of Civ5 alive and strong as newer Civ games come out is always a good thing! Each of their seasons lasts quite a long time so it's rather fortuitous timing that I bumped into them right before the new season 4 kicks off.

About:​

Their operation is huge but the concept of the show is pretty simple! On a massive world map, 61 AI Civilizations got at it to see which one can be the last one standing. All Civilizations are chosen by the audience of the civbattleroyale reddit group and part of the fun is helping narrate the story collectively along with original content and putting your support behind one of the competitors. No human intervention in the show as a several months long game is recorded and then curated into episodes across the action. Episodes are narrated by members of their 10k+ sized community cheering on the AIs on their unpredictable route to victory.

Their subreddit sidebar has most of the key information people need to have access to, but below are several good places to start and participate with the show.

Note that some starting locations are up for adjustment depending on which other civs get picked as long as its somewhat ambiguous and/or there are other choices. For example, if Gujarat got picked, Pakistan would be moved to Islamabad and Pratihara to Kannauj."

"CBRX Returns Wednesday the 20th

Hello ladies and lads, after much testing and pulling of hair out with mysterious bugs, recording for Season 4 has begun
Because in two weeks of recording half the game is covered, we are now going to prepare for the release of episodes starting March 20th
Last season was the best yet, despite several bugs and annoyances propping up to slow us down. This time around we did a deep dive to all our code and addressed just about everything that can possibly be addressed
The result is a game that runs even better than what we were already capable of achieving last year, and we hope we can once again deliver a show that defies expectation
Join us in two weeks for the start of a new season of Civilization Battle Royale!"
