Our final group in the competition's first round was between Julius Caesar, Chandragupta, Yongle, Elizabeth I, Abraham Lincoln, Victoria (Age of Empire), Harald Hardrada (Konge), Theodora, Tomyris, Kublai Khan (Chinese), Alexander and Saladin (Vizier).
Pocket Tactics' tier list put Abraham Lincoln in the driver's seat, while Game Rant agreed, with the addition of newcomer Yongle.
Let's see how their predictions went.
Match 1
Despite sitting atop the scoreboard relatively comfortably, Julius Caesar failed to turn his empire into a winning one - Tomyris snatching a space win.
A check of the score details showed the Roman leader spent too much time building wonders, but not trying to win - he hardly even bothered with the space race and was a distant second-place in the culture race. Weird.
Rounding out the top six were Abraham Lincoln, Theodora, Yongle and Elizabeth I.
Onto the second match.
Match 2
Now this was a pretty interesting outcome. Two civilizations attained a space victory - Yongle and Harald - while Tomyris got over the line with culture.
Kublai Khan topped the scoreboard, but his ship was just too far behind the others.
So based on the score, Yongle was the winner this time, followed by Tomyris and Harald.
Doing the calculations, it would appear this round's winner was Tomyris. Also going through to the next round were Yongle, Harald, Kublai Khan, Julius Caesar and Theodora.
Eliminated from the first round were Chandragupta, Elizabeth I, Abraham Lincoln, Harald Hardrada (Konge) Alexander and Saladin (Vizier).
Draw for Round 2
