Civ 5 AI Only Timelapse: Crossroads of History
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.พ. 2019
- Center of this map is open to attack from four directions making snowball strategy a lot harder, but also center contains colossal amounts of strategic resources of all types, so with huge risks whoever controlling it gaining significant production bonuses as well as the opportunity to choose the direction for his own attack. Needless to say, when someone conquers his home region, it is only the beginning of a thorny path to victory, which is formed by combining of diplomacy, science, economics and the military strength in right proportions. All the final superpowers will have a great history behind them, but which empire will be the greatest and stand the ultimate test of time will be decided only in the battle of crossroads.
I used Community Patch (global modification of AI and bug fix) forums.civfana... and Terrain Texture Enhancement 2k forums.civfana... for this battle.
Music: Michiel van den Bos - Colossus, Ender Guney - Team
Never in control of its own destiny, but always the gatekeeper to the world. The center of the world, the little pivotal pawn everyone wanted, Osaka.
Osakans: I for one welcome our new -Chinese- -Incan -French- Mayan overlords.
Osaka actually had it worse than real life Strasbourg.
3:23
yeah it's definitely Maya who everybody predicted to win at this stage, totally not France which had four times higher population and seven times more cities
This is the first time I've seen a nation get invaded by one of the major powers (Maya v China @ 5:15) and begin to lose momentum, but somehow push the major power out and maintain a stalemate, going on to win the game.
Really, well done Maya.
The West had an enjoyable and quick early-game. England and Germany formed an early alliance; with both nations have 2 cities each, they were the favorites to win, and any nation competing against them would have a tough time. China took the challenge, and managed to hold out against the alliance in several wars, drawing them out to a stalemate that forced a temporary peace. That is, until Akkad was besieged and taken @ 1:33 during a brief interm peace with the alliance. This ended up tipping the scales in China's favor, as neither of the individual nations that made up the alliance had 3 cities (Germany had failed to conquer Thebes since they didn't have English help, that likely is what could have turned this around). With the widening technological gap between the two sides (China and England had muskets while Germany had medieval infantry still), and the greater production that China enjoyed over England with their 3 cities, Hamburg was taken @ 2:10. From there, it's just a matter of cleaning up the remains of the England-Germany alliance as the technological and military gap only grows. (Note, Osininka is taken @ 2:50. This is what ends up causing the future French-Chinese wars)
The North was fairly straightforward in the rise of France - they got that early expansion around Warsaw and aggressively expanded over their side, securing more land than the Aztecs and beating them.
The South was a bit of a surprise; Russia, with their land coverage and Persian alliance, was looking to become top dog, but with the Inca sneaking under the mountains and sniping Persia @ 3:48, along with Japan helping the Inca against Russia @ 4:15 & 4:50 (not to mention the Inca's edge in the quality of their units vs Russia's and their highly developed cities compared to Russia's) ended up proving too much for the Russian Empire to bear. This sector really was an underdog story, and without Japan's help, Russia would likely have eventually overrun the Inca's defense.
The East, just like the South, was slow in their unification; The Mayans were the obvious favorite to secure their side, since they had the technological edge, plus their centralised location at the top of their sector with the large amount of land they already had meant they could easily defeat their northern neighbors. The other local powers - Japan and Brazil - were either too spread out to effectively coordinate their troops (Japan), or just too idle to bother doing anything (Brazil, though they helped Japan out in a few wars in the early game, they didn't join war any other wars). The defining conflict of the East was when the Mayans declared war on the joint Japanese-Brazilian alliance, though the vulnerability of Kyoto and Tokyo, along with the wars in Osaka, spread the Japanese army thin and left their core cities defenseless, while the Brazilian army, though briefly able to push the Mayans back, just wasn't able to cope with the rapid technological advancements the Mayans enjoyed.
Taking a look at the big picture, there were 2 major things that played key roles in deciding the winner of this game: The constant wars between France and China (the earliest victors of their respective arenas), which distracted their militaries and bought extra, valuable time for the other half of the map to consolidate, and, more importantly, the fact that the Japanese settled their 3rd city right smack dab on the Uranium deposit in the center of the map @ 0:30. This city became THE most crucial strategic point to control in the entire game; it was, quite literally, the gateway to the rest of the world. Nobody could move past their sector until they took that city, and it wasn't until 5:00 (nearly 700 turns into the game) that China finally annexed it, immediately moving into the East @ 5:13 to rack up momentum and win the game, but by this point, the city held out for so long that the East was already unified under the Mayans; while the Chinese were constantly trying to besiege and move past Osaka, the Mayans and Inca were slowly conquering their sides, and by the time the city fell, and the gates were open, and the Chinese war machine rolled on through the ruins and resources, the East had become unified under a technologically advanced civilization who not only managed to check and contain the Chinese invasion, securing Tokyo from the initial attack, and preventing the outbreak @ 5:22 from reaching the core capitals, but also managed to retake Pasargadae as the Inca joined the fight and distracted the Chinese army.
From here on, it's pretty straightforward - everyone makes a dash for Osaka, with France being the one leading the charge. At 6:00 shit starts to hit the fan for France; with a crippled air force, and a capital that was constantly under attack from bombers (compared to the Mayan capital untouched by the war), along with an army that gets immediately sent to the front lines to die instead of building reserves, the French are left with a timer on their survival, and by this point it becomes a desperate struggle to hold the lines with nothing but a small force, holding against the endless onslaught brought on by the combined might of the other 3 powers, constantly spread thin and slowly being worn down until someone strikes the decisive blow. As the Mayans military production continuously ramps up and the worn out French army gets destroyed in Osaka @ 6:18 with their desperate fallback line to halt the Mayan advance @ 6:22 being easily swept aside, the game gets their winner; the Mayans mop up the rest of the French Empire, move onto the Inca (who finally got around to killing Persia in turn 814), and, after a peace that lasts almost a millennium, launch a decisive invasion of China using Death Robots.
If France would have kept out of Osaka, and let China and the Mayans war each other over the city like they had been doing, they likely would've stood a better chance of winning, but who knows.
Great game, and an enjoyable af timelapse!
The war for Osaka was incredible.
That was the most intense battle between Civs for one city I've seen in a while
Didn't expect the inca to beat russia, didn't expect china to go so far, didn't expect france to sit on their future tech for half the game, and certainly didn't expect the maya to handily clutch out that win.
End of the world did not come as Mayans predicted, so they brought it themselves.
The few people left in osaka were all quilingual at the end of the wars
I can't believe how Napoleon just ignored his technological advantage and left the Chinese doing whatever they wanted.
Kinda like the western world IRL
The instant Japan settled Osaka, I knew it’s future would be a horrible, bloody one, but... yow.
Osaka by the end was a wasteland of craters and fortresses. The citizens long fled underground for their shelter, living in the metros. And when they were eventually seen again, they were surprisingly cultured
I dont think osaka havent have a Colosseum at all.
Glad to see you still manage to do these brawls interesting :)
French could of stomped everyone but decided to let them catch up technologically and chine decided to discover tanks and then stop all science advancements after that. Honestly the weirdest fight yet
Damn, Osaka went through the hands of 4 great empires after being captured. Constant Mecha battle for the city, Godzilla wouldn't stand a chance.
1800 turns!!! Thank you a lot for another grate show
Imagine living in Osaka during that war
Better start learning Portuguese, Chinese, French etc.
F for all humans who ever lived in Osaka
Is it weird if I get super pumped for these videos? Lol
The moment I saw Osaka planted I just knew this would be a great game.
Honestly though, the Mayans jumping into the war against the Incas (who were messing up China), while also declaring war on Russia was glorious
*"INCA!* Earth to Inca! Learn to use your great people."
You can't sit around with three great writers chilling out.
china in the end was like:"Screw this peace, im done,yolo"
Osaka, the most acceptive CEMETERY of the world.
Osaka flipped a total of 18 times jesus
No one can blow a lead quite like France.
I liked that Japan, Brazil, Maya alliance in the early game locking down the center from both France and China. That is until Maya took it's corner and decided it didn't need Brazil or Japan anymore, they had served their purpose.
Poor Unfortunate Osaka
In Pain, In Need
Japan settled it
in such a strategically located place
And did have bad consequences?
Yes indeed.
Damn, can't unhear the song now.
@@deeros100 Hehe!
Osaka essentially became Jerusalem for a good portion of that battle. Congrats to the Mayans on their victory.
japan. your combat bonus would make you a prime contender for the way these ai battles work. unfortunately i can never seem to see you pull your shit together as your ai causes you to make terrible decisions ultimately screwing you over time and time again. i would love to see you win one of these at some point.
I for one welcome our new mayan robot overlords.
Why did not France attacked Japan ???
France with GDR while Russia with lancers - the power of AI. And then France flushes it all down the toilet not zergrushing everyone else while it still can! The power of AI indeed.
France screw this up... unbelievable
That was a great game, undecied for very long.Can you do a special episode where only civs that have NOT won compete against each other?
Turn 1,816 this must have taken days!
5:55 - oh, poor Osaka...
AI's stupidity in a nutshell: Russia's trying to conquer the Incas instead of taking Persepolis. Well played.
The most stupid nation in this game is Britain.
All these random civs that dont even exist today are way too OP.
The Saga of Osaka
Can we just take a moment to realise how long Persia stayed in this game?
tense game, with a 4-way battle at the end, osaka should be a pile of rubble tbh
Warning! Before going further in the comments, there might be spoilers. Anyways hope you find something that will make you smile in the lovely community here! Bye.
Poor citizens of Osaka
Quite the unexpected victor there, glad to see them win!
Napoleon has giant death robots while China only had modern armor. Instead of attacking China they go after the Maya, who also has giant death robots.
The AI makes no sense.
I'd say it makes sense to me. When France declared war on Maya in 2172, there were no Incan GDRs (the first one appears in 2177) and Maya was losing ground in a bloody war with China. On paper, it looks like a winnable fight. The problem is, the Incas jumped in at the same time and pushed China out, leaving France fighting Maya alone. And by then Maya had total air superiority and far better resources than any other single civ.
What France *should* have done was go on the offensive 2160 when China did, if not a half century earlier when they had technological advantage. Then they could have snagged Tokyo and some strategic resources before the Mayan Air Force was a thing, and before the Incas were ready to help.
Poor Osaka. ⚰⚰
How is that Japan has such great military bonuses but they still manage to never do anything?
I love watching these especially when you see the AI repeatedly squander leads and opportunituies to expand. France had so much power so quickly then it turned peaceful and lost it all.
No one else notice that Persia came back to life in the end?
The Aztecs too. The Inca decided to liberate cities instead of annexing them.
Damn! 1800 turns, thats a long one!
Wtf were Incans doing? They were constantly replacing Terrace Farms with forts and vice versa...
yeah. and they liberated two cities of the Aztecs and the Persians only to retake them later
Those Japanese were so bold with Osaka, also holy shit Orleans was so big with 40 at the peak.
Osaka is like my ex girlfriend, there's no certainty of who gets in and gets out
Rip bro, same tho
At first, I really thought China would win.
I really don´t want to live in Osaka
I bet it had 2 pop. Left in the end
Both Osaka and Kyoto got sacked so many times.
France had a good shot at winning if they bothered to use their Giant Death Robots, but they just mainly watched Osaka while other countries like China teched up.
I did find it funny that the Incas liberated Persepolis to bring the Persians back into the game but conquered it later anyway.
The Maya never do well in AI games, this is a huge shock- I was watching France and China most of the video
also rip Osaka
What a *wonderful* map AIBattles ;)
what pasports would they have in osaka, must be insane
At some point I'd just assume they'd say "You really want to live hear ? just remember at night crawl into your state provided body bag but in order to get you must this paper work so sign hear hear annnnd full signature hear."
Inca, you saved Maya from Chinese annihilation, costing you the game and that’s why you’re tonight’s biggest loser.
Also the stalemate game was real, giant death robos everywhere
I like how Osaka is getting screwed up multiple times
is like a distopian future, the city switching sides every month, big battlemechs everywhere
3:15 London has fallen!
love the videos, nice job
Jesus that bombardment of Paris
1:55 On the verge of death, but who knows it will stand to the end
What a Greatest battle
stalemate at the end lasted 1000 turns lmao
Everyone wants Osaka!
RIP Osaka citizens
Instant thumbs up for UT music!
Osaka had conquered many nations
Mass effect mod! Madd effect mod! we want Mass Effect mod!
500 years peace
#TEAM MAYA. Finally a win
maya vs france vs inka vs china
make maze map with coast and grass
than turtleship plays well
Beautiful game, thanks for the video
Poor moscow couldn't establish a city :(
Osaka:???
France could had science victory if that was turned on..
Brazil was pretty close
Why do the Aztecs never win? Possibly because there not good... nah
bruuuhhh
Aztecs are pretty solid early game, but fall flat late, unless they're constantly at war to make use of Sacrificial Captives.
The Ai is bad with them, but in the hands of a skilled player the Aztecs are powerful. You just need to crank out a lot of jaguar units when they're cheap to make. Then you can upgrade them to keep their unique abilities throughout the whole game.
Shoshone with insane amounth of giant death robots.
*maya
Map reminds me of Blood Bath from Starcraft :-)
It only took 1.800 turns :D
I need play this game
추석에 올라오네 기모리~
Best battle for real ! (Firts time I sais that for a ia battle) Osaka just in the perfect centre ... how manu time osaka got rape xd too many !
How do you build a map like that?
Theres a map editor in the library.
It randomly generate. Usually with custom settings it take like 20 try for that.
Future of Europe.
How does one set up a simulation like this?
I believe you turn on that you can survive with one unit then place mit somewhere safe get yourself the satelittestech and then just Spam Text turn
You can automate the last part somehow but i dont know how
you have to use the mod IGE (in game editor) then you can design maps and set up ai battles
wow, russia liberated persia
No Washington I dont watch
America is awful
