Civ 5 AI Only Timelapse: Battle of Land and Sea

Civilizations in this battle can't afford to focus on one thing, they must build fleet to be prepared for attack from sea, they also need to train soldiers and to fortify the cities In order not to become an easy prey for hungry neighbors, and of course they all want to take a piece from two giant and rich islands but this is a very risky adventure. Change the balance and you lose, play too carefully and be eaten, put everything that you have and you will be torn to pieces. The only way to not drown here is to become a predator, patient, strong and wise, like a crocodile waiting for a prey in a dark river.

Considering how early in the game Austria lost its capital, they did really well. If the Songhai weren't so powerful, Austria probably could've won.

I was SO hoping Austria would return to the mainland and retake Vienna

[ondrejsaska]

Wow, Austria was great. First to colonize one of the islands, then they immediately lost Vienna with the colonists left to carry the Austrian flag. And then they stayed as one of the major contenders on that island almost to the end

[RhoninFire]

I must commend Austria. They lost their capital, but kept fighting. Not just stayed alive, but a major contender almost the whole game.

One day, I would like to see an AI make that full comeback. An AI that lost their homeland but somehow rebuilt, became a power anyways, reclaim their homeland, and win it all. But until then, Austria did great.

That's what I love about Askia. Either he gets wiped out early, or he totally dominates out of control if you choose to ignore him.

Austria really wanted Carthage to be in the game for some reason

[LEFTBASS]

Austrian settler 1: We've found this new land with an obscenely large amount of salt, what should we call it?

Austrian settler 2: How about Sal(t)zburg

Austria was doing pretty up there in the north

Until they decided to have a war on two fronts....

Austria is really just Germany in denial

@AIBattle
You have a talent for creating good scenarios for AI timelapses, which create very dynamic fun to watch replays

[MasterCoD]

The AI with that Carthaginian mountain city was hurting my brain

[Beastinvader]

Kudos to Austria for their staying power.

6:52 when your computer has weak specs so you have to turn down the graphics

Peak Salzburg. Finally living up to its name.

This is really different, I like it! Keep up the good work :)

EDIT: Of course the Austrians and Ottomans somehow find a way to get in a fight hahaha

[NominatusLP]

in 1 of 200 games is songhai strong and this is one of it.
no but srsly, i really didnt thought they would win.
always nice to see a civ winning who usually dont.

[Codexter]

We all just gonna ignore that Hippo Regius is on a mountain?!?

[falnica]

Highlights of the episode:

Viena lost it's capital early and still remained relevant
Snipping Portugal
Gao Snowballing

[nathanbailey]

Haha Carthage would settle over the mountains...

[PurpleHeros]

Pretty cool seeing Carthage settle Hippo Regius on a mountain. Funny watching Austria lose about 20 units trying to keep the city manned though.

[bobbuilder]

Wanted Songhai to win love the weird puppet thing at the end

[bramsteenhoek]

There is epic music playing but I'm just looking at colors fighting over the pizza slices
