Part 58: You Wouldn‘t Download a Warship

1

Good day Lords, Ladies, and other assorted Gentry! I am your host for today, /u/lungora and today is the day we embark on another portion of the journey of bloodshed, ruin, and death we call the MK.II Civ Battle Royale. I tend to make maps for civ on the side, cheer heavily for Champa revival, and bother you great people on our official discord server. I’ve got less than a day (since the last guy loljk’d out of narration ) and 77 slides of AI shenanigans, wars, and plotting that will never come to fruition, let’s get to this! Titlecard by /u/ Rupder

2

Lacsirax and Malssistra have, like every other part, put together this wonderful map of the Battle Royale world! Take a good look at it because it will never be the same again.

3

The boers are on top of the rankings again, in other news gravity is still in effect

4

Mazerlaser is back with another integral relationship part! Keep this open on the side of the screen so as to fully comprehend the world we‘re living in.

5

We leap right into this part with a shot of the Mediterranean where a small but decently advanced Moroccan fleet fights a smaller but just as advanced Spartan one (who while having many more reinforcements decide to keep them far from the fighting). In the bottom right corner a Hawaiian Engineer, lost and far from his homeland which he probably does not know is long shattered, inspects the citadel construction techniques of the Ethiopians. These will surely help should other civilisations ever dream of invading his prosperous home islands!

6

The camera pans eastwards to the Sparta-Armenia front where Leonidas the Younger, battle hardened from millennia of warfare, personally commands his phalanxes of Great Legday Infantry out of the Holy City of Jerusalem and into the plains towards Hebron. The distinct lack of shirts on Spartan soldiers is no weakness against the machine guns that pitter-patter onto their formation, as glorious Abs of steel are better than any other form of protection. Carthage is seen to fall (again) to the Spartan navy in the floaty text at the top of the screen, this city is no Bilma but it’s done this a fair amount.

7

Oooooooh shit boys. (and girls). (and anyone else). It’s happening! Henry Morgan, on a recent holiday to Lisbon decided to glance south, just an arbitrary look but one that revealed so much. Standing there, erect in the old port of Marrakech stood (and stands) a gleaming lighthouse, one as great as they come. The Pirate King became jealous, called up his Finnish buddy in the north who would always be happy for another exclave, and decided to get himself some booty. The Buccaneers have a tremendous Atlantic fleet and a not so shabby land military either. While a vast amount of black flagged vessels are Carriers with no planes, even more are dangerously powerful advanced destroyers, long range battleships, and fleet-ending amounts of submarines. Ahmed of Morocco however has but a small navy and even less ground troops. This should be a stomp if the Pirates manage their units even marginally well.

08

Sale, the largest city of Morroco fed by near-endless amounts of mutated fish from its waters that come, irradiated, from the post-Mali coastline has been knocked all the way to black by the formidable 28 bombers Morgan (Buccaneers) stores in his African colonies. There’s still a bit of a carpet between any pirate units and the city, but this is a show of what’s to come. Casablanca has also dropped in health, falling into the lower yellows. Vietnamese peace keeping forces in the region stand in the way however.

09

An Armenian GW Infantry has managed to push past the Spartan offensive and retake Jerusalem for the pink-ish banners of his people. While not a cavalry unit, he feels bolstered by the prophet-general by his side and feels invincible as Spartans put pressure on the city yet again. Our friend the Hawaiian Engineer seems to have disappeared; maybe he heard of the fate of home?

10

Brave Canadian mobile SAM units storm into the Inuit city of Ikaluktutiak and batter at the walls of Hamilton following the declaration of war called into play by the Icy Walkers. They know their initial victories may and surely will probably not continue versing the power armoured mechanised artillery-backed invasion force of Ekeuhnick. I anticipate a long drawn out war with a lot of flips here, but with this fight and the invasion of Morocco only one thing is for sure: there will be a fair bit less red on the minimap by the end of the part.

11

Pulling up TA_Knight’s wonderful guide to Futureworld units for info in another tab so I can talk about these Biodrones, here we see a unit that seems to be aptly described by the quote “These will wreck your stuff up to high heavens.” Faster, stronger, longer long, march, and terrain bonuses the inuit have apparently taken the beloved Canadian Loony and turned it into a weapon of mass maple annihilation.

12

Sale has become vastly more undefended as they send their fleet against the seemingly near-invincible walls of Buccaneer Bamako. The Vietnamese desperately try to stab in the way of battleship rounds and pirate tanks to no avail, this war is going somewhere and going fast. To the south on Ivory coast a pirate ship lays into the defenses of Kumasi with most likely the help on no small airforce in Gao. This city too is ready to flip.

13

A field of red, green, white, and black (including those Icelandic troops heading somewhere) takes up the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Northern africa. There actually seems to be more Moroccan than Buccaneer units, but they are also more hurt and may have forgotten to leave the frigate behind in the museum. Should the red fleet win this confrontation I can see them holding off the pirates and maintaining their homeland. With Vietnamese help, of course.

14

Itazipcho, the latest stronghold of the Sioux before recent annexation by Canadian re-killers, has been captured by Inuit forces. There’s some brick-shaped boats, an awesome looking hovering thing, and a just overall a lot of intimidating icey units in this shot, I feel scared for Canada. Both the Vietnamese and Australians are here too partaking in their hobby of being annoying blokes that stand in the way of conflict and and the rest of the fun stuff that it brings.

15

Boston (post-American, south), Toronto (Canadian in Michigan), Granville (Frozen town, north), and Regina (Flip central) have all fallen in the first Inuit push, turning from nice legible red and light gold into the hard to read slightly-eyebleeding colours of Ekeuhnick. The Canadian defense of all of these cities (or at least the two we can see) looks feeble at best.

16

The Battle in the Eastern Atlantic rages on, but here comes the ARR’s invasion force! Embarked troops and advanced destroyers surge across the ocean towards the conflict (and loot). Morocco‘s (normal) destroyer fleet still stands in their way however, though it seems they are having a hard enough time beating the pirate ships already engaged. We’ll see I guess.

17

Inuit Kamchaka, home to a few to many thousand Vietnamese soldiers is only out-peacekeeper’d by Yakutian Kamchatka where the Finns come in droves mostly because there’s nowhere else they can fit.

18

Casablanca and Kumasi are plundered as Henry Morgan’s troops shove well-meaning Vietnamese out of the way. Kumasi is a capital too, if anyone at this point can remember the Ashanti still it was theirs. It’s now flying a skull and crossbones however, and host to a large conquest party involving lots of rum. We can see also in this shot that Raba-20 and Quar-20ate are heavily bombed, taking both down to hit points that just invite conquest. Alongside Tombouc-10 we can really see that the Cylinder is getting into this whole ‘future’ thing with their city names.

19

I’ve already talked about Kumasi briefly so we’re going to focus on the more interesting portion of this slide anyways: the fact that Vietnam and Finland have made peace. What started as a waay too hyped up war involving a trio of khans, two sisters, and an old guy in a sauna is now completely retired to the history books with Vietnam in possession of what was Findia and the Mughal ‘Empire’ before that. Who is next on Vietnam’s annex list? We can only wait and see.

20

High tech submarines under the ice, Champa-named cities in the far Inuit north, and I think Charlottetown has flipped. I’m not exactly sure what the agents of Nebby are tryingh to point out to us here by focusing their gaze on a Vertol, maybe they are hoping for a pun? I am not sure. The Canadians have way too many embarked units hiding from the Inuit and not enough defending, especially as Sarnia and Victoria‘s health bars drop down to dangerously low. I’m going to vertell you now, this will be a bloody war.

21

Mexicans fall from the sky into the streets of Aamsskaapipikani, a city I intend to never have to type again (despite inevitable flipping). Deep in the Blackfoot mountains and surrounded by Blackfeet (Blackfoots?) I can’t say I think Benito [Mexico] will hold this one long but it’s a good sign for things to come. Aaninin, a city I much prefer to type, to the south is also ready to be captured but Australian and Vietnamese forces in the region say different, blockading even the port with large floating siege pieces.

22

Hamilton, an Inuit exclave, has been captured by Lester’s [Canadian] SAMs, who seem to have replaced infantry in the Maple Ehrmy. Regina has also flipped again (though it will quickly return to icy hands), and Toronto seems to have been bombed despite the lack of units that can retake it nearby. In the south we see the White Walkers surge through the Appalachians towards Albany and Washington. Many SAMs, entrenched in citadels, stand in their way ready for a bloody fight to maintain Canada’s independence.

23

Morocco makes a push back at captured cities. A destroyer sails into Kumasi retaking it from the Buccaneer occupiers. Spartans are forced back into the sea at Carthage. The Vietnamese cry out in terror as more civilians die and more war is fought, more than a little hypocritical but no one said they can’t be. After seeing dozens of other AI games, those Boer xcoms right in view scare me; though that is only if the sleeping Afrikaan decides to move again.

24

You could almost say the resolution on this world congress proposal seals the deal on another source of Inuit happiness and trade. Inuit clubbing now will have to be confined to venues with loud music and strobe lights and may not happen on Arctic waters.

25

Wine is also banned, and I will try hard to not include a pun here. The Swedes in this shot must feel like absolute jerks now, citadeling Ravenna for what now amounts to a whole load of useless grapes.I’m not sure if previous narrators have noted it before or not but we can see here that Swedish and Icelandic Europe is really being teched up as Futurey building cover the once more idyllic landscape.

26

Rabat, Sale, Quarzazate, Casablance. Marrakech is in the red, Fez in the black, Braga is under heavy assault. The Moroccan fleet is shattered, workers jump ship to try and save their lives only to be run into the waves by Buccaneer warships. War is chaos, and chaos is where the pirates thrive. In fitter news, Spartans have reconquered Carthage and are already planking over the ruins over the thousands of burnt homes.

27

On the island of Sicily, in the fields of grapes that feed Arrentium (since some idiots decided wine wasn’t bad for your liver or something) there lives a solitary Hunnish worker. His empire had died long ago, but he cannot remember it. His father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father might, but he does not. The Mediterranean, Leg Day, Hoo-rah, Grapes: these are his life and all that he’s ever known. It is a quaint and comfortable existence, if lacking a battering ram and the screams of women and children.

28

TPang in all of his wisdom has shown three slides here of Braga slowly ticking down a yellow health bar as it falls to the loot-crazed captains under Henry’s employ. This is the third slide and while it reveals nothing particularly new it’s a good spot to analyze the situation in the the mediterranean. Buccaneers are magic tricking Morocco out of existence, Sparta still has GWIs, and Vietnam’s top tourist destination is Iberia. Iceland seems to have his Eye of Sauron watching the whole thing from Hastings, and like usual Hawaiians are lost. Boer robots and xcoms to the south loom ominously in wait for a little sword clashing animation pitting a horn against anything on the right.

29

Jerusalem, the Holy City of Judaism (praise YWH) stays in Armenian hands, I’m not sure if it had ever flipped back to Spartan control despite the large force of gymgoers that had been surrounding the city last time we had seen it. In the desert between the holy city and Gaza we can notice that Leonidas [of Sparta] has procured himself some paratrupers, if a bit late to the airdrop party. While they won’t be capturing any cities without siege support, a couple strong lads like these behind enemies lines can do a lot.

30

That city with a lot of double letters and some accents has, against my initial assumptions, remained firmly in Mexican hands and even (I think) gain health while being so. Juárez [Mexico] has a lot more to fight and these mountains are not helping him but I think this war is definitely in his favour. I however am more interested in the northern front where pairs of paratroopers are parrying it out in the mists of Old Faithful.

31

I did a bit of Google-Fu to try and locate any information on this elusive “Avro Arrow” which seems to neither have any solid stats located anywhere and is not one of Canada’s Unique Components. Nothing turned up besides the fact that it’s phased out from the most recent version of the Canada mod (which we are on an older one) and that it replaces the Fighter. Canada, perhaps with the help of this ‘Avro’ fella has retaken Boston to the south and Granville here in shot.

32

I am actually legitimately surprised. Canada is holding the Inuit off and bloody well at that. The icy tide is slowly moving forward but valiant SAMs and… are those Great War Infantry. You know what fuck this, Inuit have Power Armour. It’s against the rules to talk down the AI so let’s look elsewhere eh? See those Mexican units spilling eastwards into Inuit Territory? Crazy huh, I’d like to get a shot of their core to see that carpet that just won‘t fit more units. In Lake Ontario we can also see an Icelandic scout, it’s kinda funny thinking of just how weak these guys are compared to modern units.

33

Someone is bombing Arabia. I think I missed a war, and there’s no ground invasion to guess from. Ethiopia would have stormed in already, and I can’t see anything else around. I happen to be thoroughly confused. I have looked forward and backwards into this part and THERE IS NO CLUES ON WHO IS BOMBING MECCA AND MEDINA. I blame #Wollongate.

34

It seems heroic Berbers have retaken most of their empire and are whittling the Buccaneer assault. Rabat, Casablanca, and Sale are all in christmas decor again. Somehow the Moroccans have distracted the majority of the visible pirate fleet to fight far north in Portobello, and have cleared all but a single paratrooper (waiting to take Fes when the turn rolls around) from their African land borders. Good stuff Ahmed! Any Moroccan fans in the crowd should pat themselves on the back for picking a team that can fight back so well.

35

Did somebody say pointless plotting? Here we can see that our spies are absolute rubbish and deserve to be doing something better, like saving this game from the inevitable return of Bolivar or something.

36

And another capital is down. I do not take back my words earlier, as the Moroccans have infantry and artillery in place to flip their capital and Rabat back, but the Buccaneers, now tasting the glorious extra naval movement of the Great Lighthouse in Marrakech won’t stop here. Paratroopers are at the gates of Casablanca and if Ahmed holds on to the end of this part, I can definitely say with confidence he won’t be here past the next. Burt now is no time for eulogies! No one is dead yet (except for all the countless civilian and military lives) and we’ve got more war to watch!

37

Tpang man, help me out here. We’ve got mysterious bombers reducing the defenses of Arabia’s two core cities and no clues where from.Did I miss a war? Are the boers long range attacking but not mobilizing troops? Is there a glitch in the game doing this? On another befuddling note, Sparta is still unable to retake the Holy City.

38

This is definitely the same turn with no changes from early, but we get a look at what remains of the Moroccans. Casablanca is ready to fall to eyepatch’d fighters, Tangier the new capital has no terrain defenses and little defense; and Utique, a former Carthaginian city, hosts planes, hills, a mountain, and should let Morocco hang around a fair bit longer even if/when they lose everything else. Unless Ethiopia declares war, of course. Oh! Braga has fallen, I missed that. Good stuff Henry!

39

Playing a string note on his Sintir, Morocco’s greatest and last (probably) musician floats off into the Atlantic southwards with his troop of bodyguards. They are in search of Asylum in Brazil, and failing that: Chile. Workers man a fleet of ships as a wall to save their fleeing idol. A pointless attempt really, as pirate ambushers get to the instrumentalist anyways. His ship would be sunk by noon that day. Despite the will of the Vietnamese African Peacekeeping forces, the day has been won here for the Buccaneers and lost tragically for their foes.

40

Back to Canada we see that nothing has flipped or been captured. Several more cities are at lower health and Inuit forces on the screen appear slightly more fatigued, but otherwise this war grinds on. Lester Pearson smiles on behind the scenes thinking that I have forgotten he’s fighting with Great War Infantry tech; this is wrong, I do not forget.

41

I know I vertold you this war would be bloody, but I think I sit corrected. It’s just going to be slow and my lack of creative narrative (in the way of story, i like to think I’m at least making the facts interesting) will sadly slow it down further maybe. Ekeuhnick has more units in position to slowly extend his fronts forward, but it’s a war against a turtle and I think the icy team is sleeping.

42

How do they keep doing it? Well, I say that but then we can look at the less than satisfactory amount of pirate troops in the region and realise that Al Mansur [Morocco] even without the endless reinforcements, has them outnumbered on the home front. I THINK the boers are increasing their xcomn density in this region, but they’ve always go so many units it is hard to tell.

43

A paratrooper, Spartan and proud (Hoo-rah!), stands at the gates of Jerusalem, parachute fastened into a makeshift yet epic cape that blows in the wind behind. Bombers and batteries have opened up the city‘s (lack of) walls to his entrance, all it takes is another step and a short massacre and the city will be his, and his king’s, Leonidas’. His brothers to the north at Hebron are engaging in the glorious act of siege too, flexing and squatting while their support helicopters slowly rocket down the walls (that do exist here) of the city down. They also have awesome parachute capes and this makes the GW Infantry jealous.

44

Holy bombers batman. The Finns it seems are preparing for round two and have brought backup, the Paratruupers this time around will fall from the sky from the wings of devastating and hard to see aircraft, rather than slings like traditionally. EDIT: UPDATE: URGENT: BREAKING NEWS: I have gained news from our lord and saviour Nebby the all powerful and all seeing that these are what are attacking the Arabians. The Finns are the ones attacking. This makes so much sense. Now for a ground invasion?

45

The Blackfoot seem to have reengaged their defense drives and are aiming to take back Aamssk+. Historians should call this moment the Fiesta Offensive, and while not as successful as OTL’s Tet Offensive (and somewhere completely different) it’s still doing something, I think. Inuit Mdewakantonwan seems to be the central battlefield for this war, with both sides having open borders to duel it out on the cold windswept plains. Bombers float overhead here in runs to destroy buildings in Hunkpapa, but it will be a long time, if ever, for the Blackfoot troops to push all the way down there in an organised fashion.

46

And the most bloody war of the CBR yet has come to a close. After a long, grueling. and rather terrifying if I do say so myself, offensive, defensive, and all the other -fensives we can finally call it quits. Ethiopia has made peace with Korea. Thank Akatt-U that is over. Reevaluating the Arabian scenario with the knowledge they’re fighting Finland, we can see that the few planes Al Rashid has, in Najran, are bombing Batticalosomething slowly but the lack of units fighting on either side will just leave us hurt cities and nothing more.

47

Here we see a nice shot of the Armenian core and have plenty of space and time to wonder how they continue to not lose and why Sparta literally cannot even. Maybe Leonidas III is a teenage girl?* I can’t say. What I can say is that at least Armenia built some units at all, they used to be only civilians and a couple artillery now we’ve at least got an army now even if half of it is in the Black Sea next to the Last Legion. Talking dead civs and their units we can also see the remainders of the French, and an Indonesian scout chilling in frame. *(Senshi‘s note: I want this fanart!)

48

We return to Morocco for a pleasant view of what remains of the once rather large green-on-red empire: citadels and sand. A settler tries to go somewhere, but it is surrounded on all from by now-Buccaneer cities. Carriers block the strait of Gibraltar but they are being bitten into by submarines. I know how I talked about a final musician earlier, but I at that point I had assumed that the other two here would be dead already. Assuming is bad kids, don’t do it and stay in school.

49

New Ireland Lake is a nice little place, home to the raft-dwelling people that refer to themselves as “Scouts”; some type of long lost tradesman class perhaps? They make Ahahpitape a popular tourist attraction at least, even if North America and the world may have forgotten what they are and were. From the Blackfoot borders around Aamsk+ I have to say it’s flipping and has been flipped. At least it’s at 1 pop and no more people will die, right?

50

Canadian Sams (now with less uppercase letters to sound friendlier to the civilian population) surge uphill into Boston, taking it back from the Inuit. It’s a minor move however in the greater war, seeing Regina and now Victory are both frozen over and hard to read.

51

Here we pan on up to the domain of Canada’s foes and spectate that Granville has reflipped and Sarna has been taken. That Avro chap was in Sarna though, wasn’t he? (she?) well, RIP I guess. Last war the Canadians had a solid battery of artillery on this peninsula that kept the Ice Sheet Fleet at bay and Canada safe(-ish) from harm, this time it does not exist and instead we just get more SAMs.

52

A fresh break from Africa and North America we get to see the Icelandic Isles, home to an advanced army of Cybersubs, quick and long range murdertubes; Arsenal Ships, hailing from Holloway London; and the Advanced Destroyers we all know and love. Sweden’s navy and army is in tip top shape too, rivaling Iceland very well, even though I still do see a small amount of wooden boats.

53

Morocco is sticking to their Berber Traditions being an absolute pain to annex. Marrakech flips again back to the plucky West african almost-dead underdog. Henry Morgan’s [Buccaneer] land forces seem to have sat still in favour of either trying to defend current lands or just because they’re kinda lacking, and the Moroccans are still going. Rabat looks to fall as well, but the Pirate fleet is right there so I hope that AA gun doesn’t get too hopeful.

54

Saskatoon and Boston fall, as well as Regina. The Inuit have brought a strong force in from their Texan lands to bolster the fight and the Northern front is looking even more and more one sided too. The Canadian core becomes even more sparse.

55

Aamsk+ is retaken by Crowfoot, however while his Blackfooted paratroopers are fighting well there’s no denying that the Aussies and Viets happen to be the best defenders in this war, or A’aninin would have fallen a long, long time ago.

56

The Trung Sisters [Vietnam] don’t want their Northern neighbour to get it on with nobody else but them. Such a fight would be hilariously one sided, one side being a carpet of doom and the other the Boer-impeded Mongols. All that is required it the Sisters to make up their minds to fight, assuming they know themselves.

57

One AA gun remains as Morroco’s last melee unit. The rest is either civies or artillery and machine guns, and so few of those too. If only the Buccaneers had more than a 6th of the Troops Vietnam has in their new Moroccan territory. I think I see Sparta Hoo-Rahing towards Utique too, war drums beside them.

58

What can I say about Canada that I haven’t already? I despise the lack of normal Infantry, I laugh at all the SAMs, their tenacity is inspiring, the Inuit picked a slow fight to fight, and I could really do with some more bloodshed in the region. Also: Australians seriously go home there’s no shrimps, barbies, fosters, nor crikeys here - they are all in the outback (waiting to kill you I should presume).

59

The Boers in their transhumaness make some crazy sounding Gene Vault thing, I’ve got no idea what it does right now but in a couple of slides we all will! Honestly I’m surprised at how tame this carpet appears, sure we’ve got hovertanks and robots but most of it is just paratroopers. The city defenses are the actual terrifying part when I come to think about it, just compare these 150s with Ethiopia’s >100s above. Whoever ever takes on the boers needs some hella strong cannons.

60

I think this one is tentacles or something, I swiped forward to it’s description and it’s certainly scary. High tech Great Wall with added death trap improvements. Yay!

61

Just scanning over the map we get a glance at Persia with their hilariously low pop core (ignore Pasargadae please) and the Ethiopian carpet spread that accompanies it. Vietnam has already covered their Indian lands, and the once-Afghan cities have reached some decent sizes adding more much needed productive territory if the Watermelon Dragon ever has it in it’s future to take on the Oranje menace.

62

Lapis Lazuli and tea are banned from the world stage. The cries of pain from English ghosts and people who like to dye things blue can be heard from the moon (and Hitler up there on his moon base). Senshi‘s note: Lapises are kind just taking a break from the game atm A crippled Buccaneer stumbles into Quarzazate, and Morocco will not be able to take it back.

63

TPang obviously has some sort of Vertol fetish I think, maybe just the Inuit ones but it’s pretty undeniable. Winnpeg and Ikalukutiak are in the red and ready to flip, and Saskatoon to the north is Canadian again. Has anyone been counting Boston flips? I haven’t and I’m curiously now it’s like every time we return here that it’s got a new owner.

64

Ethiopia, a long stretch behind the future club has just entered the Information Era. Soon they will be using smartphones in place of human interaction and spending way too much time on reddit like the rest of us.

65

Now for these wonders the Boer built. This one seems to make a bunch of improvements better, though I doubt the Boers really need a little bit more gold, culture, or science with their current outputs. Eitherway, a nice grab.

66

This is the far better of the pair though. Late game Great wall is just superb as anyone that watches the AI at all knows they have the hardest time with rough terrain, and now the entirely of Boer land is rough terrain WITH BRAMBLES.

67

I mentioned that Mexico probably has a carpet earlier, this shot proves me wrong it seems. They have so few troops that I bet that second plotting is Sri Lanka also looking at this land with smiling eyes and a meekly-sized force of riflemen. Not that far, but you get what I mean. But look up there at A’aninin! There is no more Aussie UAV in the way and instead a Mexican tank rolled up at the doors.

68

That second plotting was not Sri Lanka sadly, instead an Inuit glare pointed at Osaka where the Japanese sit happily with their wooden ships and Canada-tier soldiers. “Oh no don’t kill us. We like ice and snow man. Kill Blackfoot instead” -Bad Haiku Poet.

69

Somewhere in the background Leonidas [Sparta] managed to get his tan fit hands on Jerusalem, and an army together to march northwards at Hebron. It’s a slow war but one for many many opportunities of shitposting. Sibir looks on, eye wide. (probably at those six packs ;) )

70

Sparta, on the other side of their empire, besieges Utique. Hills defend the city from naval bombardment but Leonidas has moved in a detachment of artillery that will surely enable Morocco’s mountain holding to be taken.

71

Boston flips again. Canada defends. Albany and Washington are waiting to be captured. Hebron falls to Spartan might. One of these is not like the other but more on that next week as now it’s time for the Info Addict Slides!

72

Boers and the rest of the club lead in population like normal. Nothing out of the ordinary here except maybe how high up Iceland is.

73

Morocco with their small clump of desert is dead last, followed by mountain hermit Tibet, one-island wonder Hawaii, and the city state of Texas.

74

Boers lead in military, shadowed by Vietnam and Australia. Korea’s military is interestingly strong.

75

Australia owns the most “land” even with it mostly water, Inuit are up there too, and the rest of the gang follows.

76

Smaller empires are now joined by Morocco who I’m pretty sure was above this one at the start of this part.

77

The Boers maintain a strong 10 tech lead over any of their competition. See Finland dropping behind and the Arabians in place 13.

78

Mimicking the last slide mostly. A few location changes. Be aware that while some civs may have higher science output they may also have more cities which drag down tech advancement.

79

Boers enjoy fine cheese and well aged wine, everyone else: not so much.

80

Catholicism enjoys it’s strong lead in the religion department, but Judaism hangs on strong too. Islam is still utter rubbish if you forgot.

81

And here’s your religion map! I’ve been /u/Lungora last-minute narrating and this has been the Civ Battle Royale! Thank you all for reading and I apologize for the lack of puns as well as the few I did include. Be sure to tune in next week for the next instalment.
