Civ 5 AI Only Timelapse: Battle of Biomes

No one can choose where to be born, but almost everyone has an opportunity to achieve something bigger, and even the slightest chance is a chance. What do 20 civilizations from different biome-types have in common? Goal. Only having captured all the other empires, conquered the desert, tundra, plains, and grassland you might say you hadn't missed your opportunity.
For this battle, I used Community Patch forums.civfanatics.com/thread... and Terrain Texture Enhancement 2k forums.civfanatics.com/thread...

America with the artillery first. Swept across the map like a plague. It's usually France, but they got taken out early. Looked like China was in the lead, but... Damn. China got flanked hardcore while the armies were away. Bad luck.

They had oil

[@Lee-ww6jp]

Key moment was 4:25 because USA took their only chance to fight against China while they are busy with war against the Netherlands and India. Without that I guess China would have won the game

[@xXRazorbacksXx]

It also just so happened to be the time USA hit their Minutemen units. The revolution could not be stopped.

Do not underestimate China, India, Iran, Russia etc.

[@JD-jl4yy]

Induktio1984 Not at all. The US would get nuked to hell if they tried something that stupid.

[@AeonQuasar]

I thought England, Assyria, America or Denmark would win due to their ideal locations, but Denmark had problems with aggressive civilization early on, England had problem getting enough space to build units that could capture towns and Assyria had a good start, but found no more expansion posibilities. America won due to Chinas hopeless war against Gandhi. China should have destroyed America before moving on against Gandhi or other civ.

[@conhero200]

Agreed. I think China slipped it's fingers or sth. :lul:

[@theyoshi202]

I find it funny that the first chance they got, america blitzed the desert (and the oil)

[@AlbertoSantosDumont819]

[@nothing7333]

[@xXRazorbacksXx]

Open your borders. Stop having them be closed.

[@Illianor123]

America made a big comeback. It looked like the minutemen weren’t going to be enough to stop China but India declaring war on China allowed them to peace out, rebuild and then defeat a China that had been worn down fighting India and then they snowballed by eating the weaker right side of the map and the quality of their tiles really made its presence felt with higher tech and production.

[@gregsavitt7176]

The problem with this timelapse is that the civs on the right side of the map were doomed from the beginning. The tiles on the right side of the map were better in every possible way. This is evident when you look at the capital cities. at 5:53 in the video, Delhi had a population of 20, Washington had a population of 19, and Amersterdam had a population of 24. Then you look at cities on the right side such as Gao, which had a population of 13. Note that this city had not been captured yet in the video so losing population due to that was not a factor. This population means that the civs on the left have a higher production, science, and culture rate that those on the right. Overall, this was a one-sided match. Not that it wasn't good. It was fun to watch, but I wasnt surprised by the outcome.

[@gigastrike2]

Greg Savitt The grassland nations had the largest population by a long shot the entire time, but they didn't expand. I'd assume the higher population actually prevented each of them from conquering the others, leading to the more vulnerable nations being the ones who began to snowball and overpower them.

[@malluk7064]

Yeah it was clear one of the ones on the left would win from the get go. Glad it was america though.

[@javierpowell4705]

American Victory was assured once they won the first American-Chinese war which had given it access to another Biome sector, eventually leading to the capture of cities in said area, Allowing America to have enough resources to combat the Chinese again, uniting their own Biome sector, sealing their win for the most part. America snowballed pretty hard after that.

[@superresistant8041]

China was already at war so that was an easy fight

[@Ensivion]

@@superresistant8041 it does help that they quick teched to artillery.

[@zurabsiradze7822]

[@LEFT4BASS]

America: comes out of nowhere, defeats a superpower, becomes a superpower, gets involves in other nation's wars, large, powerful military. Sounds about right.

[@braintumor4194]

I don't think USA ever defeated a superpower in real life did it?

[@godogs89]

Britain, Spain, Germany twice, Japan

[@LEFT4BASS]

Brain Tumor we came into existence fighting the British empire, which i think would qualify in those days

[@braintumor4194]

Well, yes but you didn't completely wipe out the British and took over their cities like the US did in this video, you just kind of broke off from one of their colonies.

[@braintumor4194]

You didn't really defeat Japan, you just nuked a bunch of their cities and sunk some ships, plus Japan wasn't even near being a Superpower. As for Spain, I can't even recall a single battle between you unless you mean some colonial skirmishes which I wouldn't call a "Clash of Superpowers". Germany... ehhh... World War 2, yes you managed to reach Berlin but by the time you reached it, most of Germany's armies were wiped out by the USSR and harsh weather during operation Barbarossa, and when you reached Berlin, France, UK and the USSR were invading the city at the same time, hence Germany was split into four by those nations. In WW1 USA provided the allies with natural resources which, yes, were very much needed at the time, so their contribution was quite big, just like in WW2, not saying it was not, however, the defeat of Germany ended without the intervention of USA. I'm not daying it was not helpful, because the trade deals definitely helped the allies. The US troops that fought in Germany during WW1 were also armed with French weaponry and there wasn't many of them. They were actually referred to as "morale support" rather than actual help by the French. I already explained the British part in my other comment.

[@cuviosuleusebiu6321]

Netherlands had huge army and probably a lead in tech for a long time in this game but failed to declare war. They literally had to walk into Brazil's capital many times over.

[@adithyaraajkumar7406]

You should have put oceans, not snow, between the biomes

[@cuviosuleusebiu6321]

How England or Netherland didn't win this with such a huge early population growth compared to the others is weird. But it's AI so, not high expectations...

[@TheSpl1ce]

England was happy just vibing.

[@INWMI]

i wonder how the ia manages having so many troops with only 3 cities i remember having 5 archers with 3 cities and struggling in money

[@okebel3280]

AI can't go bankrupt. They can be in infinite deficit and not have to dismiss units. AIs are so dumb the developpers made them this way.

[@PyroShark_]

AI in most turn based AND real time strategy games are given artificial bonuses in an effort to “increase difficulty” instead of actually making different AI for each difficulty, in Civ 5 they cant go bankrupt, dont have to dismiss troops and have bonus happiness and yields

[@INWMI]

What was the reason for America's success? It looked like they spent thousands of years in stalemate, then wooooooshshsh - conquered the world like walk in the park! Was it some unique unit time or what?

[@VindicatorAalun]

looked like minutemen and golden age helped a lot for them. not to mention they striked when china was allready engaged wich certainly was a game changer for Washington.

[@TheSkyShaft]

Having atleast one tech level higher units than everyone seemed to help aswell. After they broke through china, everything to their right had much weaker units, but what probaly broke it was when they hit artillery, Askia and Catherine just couldn't compete at that point.

[@TheDanzomanzo]

The key is to go to war when it suits your Civ. Renaissance, then modern era for Washington. Nice to see a smart AI that could easily have been overcome early-game.
