Which civilization was history's greatest?
Here's how it'll work. Using the Quot Capita - Majesty mod, dozens of civilizations will battle it out, 10 at a time.
Essentially, I'll go through the list, pick out the most famous leaders, and put them up against each other 10 at a time.
The winner will be chosen via the Mastery victory condition - a points system that awards civilizations based on their achievements overall, rather than just getting really, really good at one thing.
But I won't just select the winner to go through to the next round, because that's leaving too much to chance. Instead, the civilizations will battle it out over three games. Any civilizations who win a game will go to the next round. If a civilization wins more than once, a runner-up will also be chosen, based on the highest Mastery score they achieved in a single game.
Revolutions will be turned off in round one to speed up the process.
The maps will be small, at least in this first round, to speed things up. They'll also be random and quick. How the second round works, we'll see when we get there.
It's a question historians have long debated, generally using facts and stuff. But since it's 2016, it's about time we let a computer settle it once and for all!
But not a supercomputer - mine. Running Civilization IV.
