The 42-player, AI-only Civilization game that’s currentlygoing down is already one of the most amazing things the Civilization community — no sloucheswhen it comes to weird and wonderful spins on the game — has come up with. In over 20 years playing the series I have never seen anything like this.
But it’s worth it. User tpang(the organiser of the war/event) has been documenting the great war, and this has proven to be the best way to keep up to date on what’s going on. His galleries, complete with commentary, have been breaking down the major shifts and turns in the conflict, as well as providing images that show the sheer scale of the game.
I mean, just look at this. And they’re still using bowmen and spears. God help them when the tanks start rolling.
To give you a big-picture idea of how things have been shaping up, here’s a gif showing the game’s progress so far:
