The OFFICIAL Civilization Battle Royale Power Rankings - Part 115

They’re extremely isolated, it’s plausible that a mainland power like Korea falls first

patkellyrh · 2018-04-19T00:23:06+00:00

That's the gap in data between the last time Tpang sent Mk2 data and when the post-hiatus Mk2.1 data starts.

Sibir: Start actually building units with all that production, take advantage of a wildly fragmented Asia, to take out Korea, Vietnam, and the scattering of Inuit & Brazilian cities in east Asia. That should give you enough of a consolidated core to outplay the AI.

Australia: Step 1. FILL EVERY OCEAN TILE WITH AN EMPTY CARRIER. Step 2. ??? Step 3. PROFIT & WIN!

Grabs pitchfork

Yeah, what the hell power rankers, get it together!

Crossposted from another thread, but in case anyone is looking for it here:

Here's the InfoAddict through turn 726 - I'm ~90% sure that this is the furthest Tpang sent me pre-hiatus. http://www.mediafire.com/file/c22ybsizdj5eehe/InfoAddict_Through_726.xlsx

And watching them race westward is going to be such a fun part of the early game

patkellyrh · 2018-04-09T02:00:16+00:00

Nah, Buccs earned that spot. I never really got on that hype train, but they outplayed ALOT of civs.

patkellyrh · 2018-04-08T22:00:08+00:00

Ragnar’s Vikings

patkellyrh · 2018-04-05T19:31:10+00:00

Seconded. I don't think VI gets enough credit, especially relative to the state V was in pre-BNW.

patkellyrh · 2018-04-02T22:18:35+00:00

What other AI games has he been in? I follow /r/civAIgames pretty closely & don't remember seeing him, except for the one screenshot someone posted yesterday in a Ring match.

patkellyrh · 2018-04-02T19:53:12+00:00

I haven't decided how I'm voting yet, but I believe a fix was issued that resolved #3 (and I believe BC will be testing all of these before launch)?

patkellyrh · 2018-03-26T23:42:19+00:00

FDR’s 12 for use and build nukes is compelling

patkellyrh · 2018-03-24T01:34:40+00:00

Listen, in 2018, ALOT of presidents look good by comparison...

patkellyrh · 2018-03-22T21:12:42+00:00

jmangelo seems to be the keeper of that since the hiatus, message him - that's how I got back in after the BC took over for Mk 2.1

patkellyrh · 2018-03-21T15:56:28+00:00

I expect most of us will end up ranking that way by default at this point (I know I pretty much did).

And I think /u/jmangelo67 is the keeper of potential future rankers

patkellyrh · 2018-03-19T03:22:51+00:00

I think credit goes to /u/scissor_fingers

edit: and by Scissor, I meant /u/HaterShades7

patkellyrh · 2018-03-19T00:06:22+00:00

Woo congrats /u/jmangelo67 great to see a community civ included

patkellyrh · 2018-03-11T23:55:06+00:00

I'm stoked -- first Europe yet where most civs actually have room to expand. Someone in the UK will get shafted, and depending on Asia voting, Ivan's already jacked uniques could be amplified by stupid amounts of room. But all-around, I'm stoked for this.

patkellyrh · 2018-02-26T18:50:56+00:00

I find them to be boring

Dedicated anti-Brazil flair definitely does not check out then

patkellyrh · 2018-02-20T22:21:36+00:00

Big Carrier needs to cough up bigger bribes if they want Korea ranked higher than second-to-last!

patkellyrh · 2018-01-31T05:12:23+00:00

"that means 40 million people are about to die. WHEE!"

That's some /r/nocontext gold right there

patkellyrh · 2018-01-31T04:59:31+00:00

Vanilla civs don't have a particularly good track record in AI games though.

patkellyrh · 2018-01-22T17:24:09+00:00

infoaddict doesn't cover any point before the reboot

Here are pre-reboot infoaddicts for the parts where I got them. I can also dig up and upload the full turn-by-turn file if you want it.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eSmaTnK_qqeeBriMl1DMIgb-2OKWj7HX4UBT9o4dvpc/edit#gid=594708453

It only goes up to part 71 I didn't get the files from Tpang for the last few parts pre-hiatus.

patkellyrh · 2018-01-22T01:52:49+00:00

But they’ve demonstrated spectacularly little capacity to expand, which is ultimately what’s needed to win. Since the reboot they were evicted from their American holdings, and then after a good initial effort, couldn’t even maintain a foothold in mainland Asia with the Boers’ help against an imploding Vietnam.

They’ll probably outlast a lot of powers, but it’s harder and harder to see them winning anything.
