Civ 5 AI Only Timelapse: Legend of Two Corridors 

That comeback! I am stunned! After Attila went to war with Poland I was certain that Mongolia was going to win. There was no way that they could come back. They were fighting Mongolia with Gatlin Guns when Mongolia had anti-aircraft, artillery, Great War planes and infantry. I would have bet a decent part of my savings that it was no contest for Mongolia to win. Amazing battle, one of my favorites!

Remember kids... Even if your enemies have 11 cities and you have 2, there is still hope

On today's episode of AIBattle: Poland teaches us why it's important to secure your home region before expanding

Holy shit... I thought the huns botched the whole operation when they swallowed Poland, but Atilla with the absolutely crazy comeback...

Nice. Wasn't expecting that ending! Some interesting things of note: 0:28 - Zulus engaging in an exodus to flee the capital to the city of Umgungundlovu while the Mongols sacked and annexed Ulundi. The same happened to the Danish at 1:37, where they managed to survive another 40 turns 0:40 - Germany and Morocco leaving the Ottomans to fall by the Mongolian sword, then banding together to make a valiant stand against the Mongolians, delaying their expansion by a considerable amount (turns 95-130 Genghis did nothing to expand because of the war with the Germans and Moroccans) 1:25 - Germany and Morocco try to take advantage of the low amount of border units to seize Istanbul, but are overwhelmed by Mongolia in round 2. With no more threats to the core cities (at least until artillery), Genghis is free to pursue his expansionist agenda in the center strip, overwhelming individual cities and civilizations forced out of their capitals (Greece, Zulus, Denmark) 2:44 - Atilla, after breaking his alliance with Poland, strikes at the unprotected core of the Polish Empire, severing the head of the snake so to speak, and mopping up the empire from the North while the Mongols starved out the main Polish army in the South, peacing them out at Lodz. Stuff about Lodz, arguably the turning point of the campaign. 3:10 - Without much in the way of military, the last Polish stronghold, Lodz, is easily swept into the emerging Hunnic power. The Huns and the Mongols now have a direct land-border with each other. 3:17 - The brutal Battle of Lodz is one of the most crucial battles in the entire campaign; it had the same effect that the battle of Vienna had on the Ottoman advance into Europe - it checked the momentum of a previously thought unstoppable force in battle, and marked the beginning of the end of the empire. 3:40 - Battle of Lodz 2: Electric Boogaloo. Similar to the German/Moroccan wars, Genghis actually wins this time 4:30 - Lodz is taken, marking the first time a Mongolian city was successfully invaded and annexed by a foreign army 4:20 - The ability to attack across the central mountains becomes realized by Atilla's parachute droppers. Sadly, neither side sent an invasion force across here (across from Mongolian harassment with helicopters). I really want to see the AI just storm the enemy with parachute droppers, but it seems like that won't happen. 5:00 - The final decisive battle of the campaign; the giant death robots and more advanced infantry of Atilla would prove to be decisive in this confrontation. The hilly bottom bit that connected the two cores really helped make this game much more dynamic and less Genghis stomp! The Mongolian advance was slowed so much by a German/Moroccan coalition and by the hilly terrain that Poland was able to become dominant enough to challenge Mongolia, and the hilly terrain forced the Polish/Mongolian wars to progress at a snail's pace, with cities holding out at 0 health for upwards of 10-20 turns. Even though the Polish were outmatched and outnumbered, they still managed to hold on with an iron grip onto their frontier cities because of the terrain that reduced unit movement to 1 tile a turn, and the strategic placement of Lodz proved to be absolutely essential in the defense of the heartland! I also especially loved Atilla - he played tactfully to his advantages and weaknesses. After failing to get the Great Wall to secure his land from surrounding powers, Atilla allies himself with the emerging Polish Power and mops up nearby competition while Poland cleans the rest, biding his time and aiding in wars to secure their favor. After some point, Atilla builds up his army to a monstrous size that's on par with Genghis's army, and pulls ahead in research remarkably quickly after taking the northern cores. Well done Atilla! Really, good video! I enjoyed it, and the rocky terrain led to a really surprising and dynamic campaign!

This is literally the best comeback of all time. Oh, my, god.

Lodz=Stalingrad

Attila's comeback has been one of the most epic (if not the most) stories I've seen on this channel. All hail the Scourge of God!

I love how this battle consisted of arguably the most aggresive and warmongering nations of the game... And then there are fucking Ethiopia and Morroco, hidden away in their respective corners

The whole last minute I was just sitting and shouting "WHAT THE FUCK?!", no shit. It was almost impossible to win that round for Attila. Damn, it was SO good. Probably it is the first time I'm really amazed with that AI of Attila's.

How is Attila able to build so many giant death robot without access to Uranium. Or is it that every capital come with uranium under.

Mongolia: I'm gonna destroy you HAHA! Huns: *no u*

2:15 Mongols: 10 cities Poland: 8 cities Huns: 2 cities Huns win the game

Poor poland, getting crushed from two sides. History repeats itself over and over.

This has to be my favorite ai battle of all time. The way Atilla played this game is art.

Most ridiculous comeback I've ever seen, I love it! :D

2:45 Attila this is Ghengis speaking Execute order 66

A soldier to Attila: "My Lord, the Mongols have conquered Lodz! They are marching down the valley! What do we do?!" Attila takes a drink and tosses it. "Fool! Gather the scientists and engineers! Hold down and keep fighting for Lodz! If they bring in the cavalry... We unleash the Scourge."

That's it, guys. We'll never see greater comeback in any civilization game ever.

I think Attila had about five comebacks just now, haha, that’s nuts!

After playing it rather safe, the Huns decide at the 2:45 mark that it's now or never to rise up. They believe they are the only ones who are capable enough to stop the Mongol Terror. They throw off their oppressive Polish overlords, who are stretched thin by their failed war with Mongolia, and Poland succumbs to the Huns in a few short decades. But many think it's too late to stop the legendary Genghis Khan. At 4:11, all hope seems lost. Yet, like many times in our timeline, the Mongols stop, thinking they've won. Whether through corrupt leadership, overconfidence, an unhappy populace, or all three, Mongolia stagnates scientifically and economically. Meanwhile, the Huns, seeing an opportunity, and the potential of uranium in the form of a giant mech-suit, gather their strength, and hope beyond hope, that they can launch the greatest comeback of all time. To the Huns surprise and delight, the underfed, ill-prepared Mongol soldiers are no match for the Huns technological and numerical superiority. In a conquest not seen since Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, the Huns take over the Mongol Empire and declare themselves sole global hegemon. A new era of peace, stability, and innovation begins.

are you sure that the huns weren't played by a human? that was really something else as the age-old 4x adage says: start tall, end wide

I think the reason why the Huns won was because they were able to do a "300" like last stand in a narrow path in front of Wroklaw and Krakow while the Mongols lead their army into that narrow path trashing their forces and dwindling their numbers until the Huns was able to regain their own numbers and deliver a decisive blow. (Sorry for bad english)

Holy comeback Atila. And with the traditional Hun battle unit: High tech war mechs and laser guided missile artilery xD

top 10 anime comebacks

That GDR push at the end was nuts!

The huns were completely blocked in with little to no chance of winning, they'd be set behind by their lack of cities and land and strangled out by what I assumed would be Polish domination. What a game!

The Giant Robot technology helped the huns win this comeback.

I thibk there were two things that allowed the Huns to win: 1. When Attila blitzed the Poles, they continued to fight against the Mongolians, preventing them from gaining access to the Eastern cooridor via Lotz. 2. Aircraft. I think this whole game came down to aircraft. The Poles barely had enough to hold out against Genghis before Attila killed them off and Genghis nearly took out Attila about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way through the video. After the peace treaty, Attila managed to build up his airforce and in turn didn't need ground unit supremacy. Overall, I thought it was an amazing game. I thought it was hopeless, but everytime someone rose up to challenge him I was on the edge of my seat hoping against hope. Great game!

I thought the Huns were like a tumor in Poland's side, wasn't expecting them to totally destroy Poland that quickly, and I thought they were done for when the Mongols reached the Eastern valley. 10/10

When an unstoppable forces meets... another unstoppable force.

The Mongols and the Huns Let them fight

I did not expect that comeback. Thought they were finished when Lodz first fell to the Mongols. Then, giant robots and...

2:46 Poland vs Mongolia Atilla: It's free real estate

That was certainly unexpected.

mfw mongolia spends everything on AA instead of an actual army

Top 10 anime betrayals by Attila 2:40

Gotta love Attila's strategy! As soon as paratroops are available, he immediately drops small units of them across the ridge into main base of the Mongos, forcing them to retreat a large amount of forces to deal with paratroops, while the Huns regain position in the frontline. He did it probably 5-6 times until GDR comes out and Mongolians finally collapsed. Brilliantly played!

2:27 choose a winner. I guarantee no one would get this right :D

How did this happen? Comeback are pretty rare.

That Hunnic backstab on Poland should have been expected... but yikes, their main cities managed to outbuild Mongolia's many initial units. This was quite the reversal.

Wow what a comeback! The battle for Lodz will live forever in my heart.

I bet for Poland in the middle of video, founding Lodz and take control of east corridor has been an excellent move, greatest polish error: never let Attila to survive...

From zero to hero

Science is important mmkay

Wait for it... What? Not the Mongols?

Can you do a map filled with barbarians? Let's see them win for once

Mongols lost their momentum, they don't have any bonuses that could stimulate their economy in peace time, so they need to carry their victories as far as possible as fast as possible. The Huns were able to stall them so long they lost the ability to fund a sufficient army, and it was just a matter of mopping up.

Huns vs Mongols Hmm

After falling behind early game, Atilla did almost everything right at every stage of the game. Every time I was like "he should take this opportunity," almost instantly he took it. He pushed Poland while Poland's forces were completely distracted with the Mongols and he held onto Lodz as long as he could, then retook it as soon as he could when he lost it (holding onto Lodz as long as he could was absolutely essential). Excellent play by Atilla, he deserved that win.

The Mongols seem pretty good at early rapid expansion and then fall apart, it just seems like their cup of tea

SO unexpected one of the best ai videos i have seen to date thank you for this upload

I am speechless at what I believe is the greatest AI comeback thus far. Held out like a champ and swept real quick!

How!?!

The mongols just stopped making units at the end for some reason. Probably a bug.

Nomadic eastern horsemen vs nomadic eastern horsemen. And of course Poland continues its trend of getting partitioned. I’m impressed that the hubs were able to pull that comeback.

Amazing that Mongols lost the final after the great conquer by Keshik cavalry.

that moment you see a death machine spawn O___O GG

This once again shows that size of cities matters more than quantity

Woah didn't expect that at all

I love these stupid battles

Mongol would have won if they had closed the passage, there 0:17

Cant beat giant death robots

Oh ok Mongol Horde vs Polish Hussars. Should be OH WHAT THE FUCK. They had ancient era battering rams like a second ago. Now they have riflemen and lancers!?

That Hun victory came out of nowhere (of course Walkers always help, but still)

Mongolia get rekt by Attila GUNDAMs

Mongolia had the momentum to press into the second room but didn't. They had a medium army with almost full complement left after taking Lodz and sat on it instead of pressing their advantage and gave the huns long enough to rebuild and once it swung back to their momentum they pressed HARD. Mongolia should have won but played far to cautious right when aggression was heavily needed. To be honest i was expecting them to both go out way earlier when they lost their unique's advantage especially attila not even using the battering ram once for super early land grabbing.

Can you run scenerio "fall of rome" with only AI players?

Mongols: Man this war is just too easy, we're the winners Attila: I'M GONNA END THIS MAN'S WHOLE CARREER

I think for this map the loser will always be the one who controls the bottom of the map - too many low yield cities giving penalties. It meant the mongols had to rebuild all the way back home then cross the whole map to reinforce while the Huns only had to go like 5 tiles (4:30 you see a horde at Berlin then cross the map). Even so damn that was fun to watch

Poland could have easilly stop Atilla, but let him live. but Mongols... to losesuch advantage, that`s something

Unbeliveble victory

That's what happens when you go down the wrong path in tech tree!

Ok but like how the fuck did Mongolia stay ahead in science

Damn the way this game played out reminded me of another video on this channel called “Battle of Biome”. The backstabber kept safe by a more powerful empire eventually won the game. Also can’t help but notice at one point Mongolia just went for ultra historical accuracy of “I’ve got all of da Middle Kingdom! TIME FOR ME TO TRASH MY MILITARY AND DIE!” xD

AIBattle should redit this video by adding "You'll Never See Me Coming" from Personna 5 to the Hun victory moment.

Loved the comeback by the Huns. Poland was doing so well, sniping Ethiopia with the Great Wall, something I didn't think would happen for a while. They just severely underestimated Attila and his wrath.

And i was going to drop a Winged Hussar meme comment Damn those GDRs

Poland should have beaten Hun before they capture Aarhus

Best comeback I ever saw. WOW.

Mongols UU takes great advantage in this territory

WTF :O :O :O :O

Atilla vs Gengis Khan thats a war i want to see

This is why I love playing against players who focus gold... Always gunna eclipse their tech in the end and wipe them out

Mongolia: *FOR THE HORDE!*

I came

Hunns and Mongols armed with GDR...The only more terrifying thing i can think of is a huge comet on a collision course with Earth.

Wow that was impressive.

Can’t believe the Huns won that

Haven't seen anyone screwed up as bad as Mongolia since George Lucas created Jar Jar Binks!

AKA Attila reminds the Mongol horde who's boss

It's confirmed. The avatar was Mongolian

Poland AI? WTF? xD

On this episode of Avatar the last Airbender.......

I would love to know what the two religions were set up as, I wonder if that had anything to do with the comeback.

Wut… I’m speechless

Atilla was genius

O_o

It's pretty much just a race to see who gets robots first

Hi,good videos.
