Who will win the AI Battle Royale?

[Deja Vu]

This is assuming they let the AI game play all the way to the end.

 

[Siptah]

Spain will win with an early religious victory.

 

[MistroPain]

I kinda think Rome will win just cause of the free-culture building perk. Thats massive, especially since I would assume most AI will have weird build orders.

 

[King William I]

I gotta give it to Montezuma and his Luxurious War Machine

 

[Eramas]

#TeamMonty

 

[WillowBrook]

Culture win for Gorgo!

 

[wiggawuu]

No reason to play the game anymore when you can just be a spectator. lol

 

[Alphons Rodulfo]

Gorgo will win on points

 

[Staler87]

Rome will win conquest because it's Rome.

 

[ThomasClark]

I think Rome, they have easy bonuses to leverage. If they build warriors at the start and actually upgrade their units to Legions, it should be lights out.

Would be somewhat impressed to see Aztecs return their stolen workers and use them to speed up districts or hook up new expand luxuries, but not counting on it.

 

[Stilgar08]

Rome -Legions - 'nuff said.

 

[Atlas627]

Rome has the most straightforward bonuses, so the AI should do best as them.

 

[Mort_Q]

Does Japan get a Start Bias towards islands, or just coasts?

 

[nitedemon]

Rome. Just because it seems like the AI is good at settling new cities based on most recently Ed Beach streaming and Rome can really take advantage of that.

 

[rpgalon]

Can't wait to see the AI fail hard by ignoring every bonus the CIV have.

Like Brazil building encampment district in the midle of the jungle and campus on hills.

Don't even know why they chose Brazil for this, unless they are confident in their AI or just don't care about what they are showing.


EDIT: Anyway, if they go Victory by Score after X turns. My bet is on Rome.
If anything else, my bet is a Spain religious victory.

Spain will win with an early religious victory.

Not a chance. From the streams/youtube videos I've seen, Scythia has a higher probability of spamming the map with missionaries than Spain does. Even then, I don't see an AI actually winning this way, unless for some reason everyone but one civ fails to found a religion. It would just stalemate in constant spam.

As to who really wins... it will depend on the map. If Brazil starts with a lot of rainforest, Brazilian science victory, hands down.
It would be interesting to see how many cities change hands (by actual conquest, not just lopsided peace deals). I'm curious if the AI can even do that.

Of course, the randomness of barbarians can really through this off, as the AI seems to love throwing civilians in front of the swarms.

 

[King Jason]

Greece or Japan. Voted Greece.

 

[cakes]

monte because he doesn't have to upgrade his warriors

 

[redwings1340]

I'm going with Rome because wide AIs generally did better than tall AIs in V. Hopefully we get to see some more detail on how the AI plays here, this should be fun!

I wonder if this is going to be a game mode we can choose, I'd definitely consider writing up some stories of AI only games here if that's an option.

Do you know if youll have the tools to run a AI only game ?

Edit Nevermind its a developer announced game.
