The second installment of the popular strategy game series 'Civilization', 'Civilization II' was released in 1996, and plunged into the 1700 war called 'Endless War', which has plagued players for over 10 years. A certain game that was being played was cleared at the end of the '58-year plan'.
How a fluke video game called the Eternal War became a cultural phenomenon—and changed its creator

It was James Moore who fell into the 'endless war'. This tragedy was discovered on June 12, 2012, when Moore posted to reddit with the ID Lycerius, 'I've been playing Civilization II for about 10 years. That's the result.' Was the trigger. This content is translated by Mr. Toru of the blog 'loving, thinking'.
I've been playing the same game of Civilization II for almost 10 years. This is the result.: Gaming

Civilization is the result of players becoming one of the leaders in a world of multiple civilizations, increasing population, developing culture and arming, and increasing military conquest of the world and technological capabilities. It is a game aiming for victory conditions such as the world's first space advance by.
According to an interview with The Daily Dot, Moore first encountered 'Civilization II' released in 2001 when he was 14 years old, and it was interesting that a number of different histories were born, so he should proceed with multiple save data at the same time. Was often the case. One of them caused an 'eternal war'. As a result of this data being played too far into the future, Moore has missed the opportunity to move on to the sequel 'Civilization III.'
Anyway, the data that Moore was playing was in the year 3991 at the time of posting in 2012. The game has a tentative deadline of 2020, but it was possible to continue playing beyond that. However, even if Moore played before 2020, most of them would either 'win' or be destroyed and 'lose' in their own civilization, even in the few exceptions. By that time, the number of units owned by each civilization became too large, and the time required for one turn became too long, and it fell into a situation where it was 'practically impossible to play'.
However, this data remained stuck with the exception in the exception. In addition to the Celtic played by Mr. Moore, the world is divided and controlled by three civilizations, the United States and the Vikings, and dozens of nuclear wars have already taken place, the land is almost polluted, and the remaining resources are scrambled. I was in a situation.
Hey guys, I've been playing the same game of civ 5 for almost 10 years now. It's really crazy and original. I hope you reedit likes it :)) --Album on Imgur

The 'front line' that has not moved for over 1000 years. Occasionally there is movement in the army, but an immediate nuclear attack. Sometimes nearby cities turn over to other civilizations, but they can't keep up. However, the ceasefire agreement was immediately broken, so it was said to have been the 'eternal war' mentioned above.
The land where the Greek, Japanese, and Sioux civilizations originally existed looks like this. The number next to the city icon indicates the population, and you can see that there are only small cities around here. Contaminated lands, swamps, and old unpaved roads stretch between the cities. The unnaturally vacant land is like the remains of a destroyed city.
The forefront border line shown by Mr. Moore. Celtic on the left, Vikings on the upper right, and America on the lower right. There are also some cities like enclaves.

Moore wasn't playing this game all the time, he was playing other games in between, but he decided to ask reddit for help because he was stuck too much. Was the above post.
At the time, Moore posted to reddit's 'gaming' category, but the response was so great that a subcategory called ' The Eternal War ' was soon created. Moore immediately released his save data, allowing anyone to take on this 'endless war.'
And it was the user 'stumpster' who ended the war, that is, cleared the game, not Mr. Moore.
Took 58 years in-game, but I pulled it off.: Theeternalwar

The day after Moore posted, stumpster posted some tips that could help him win, with the subject ' Some quick tips ... '. After releasing the save data, Mr. stumpster plans an invasion operation using the sea. Since the two-front operation is disadvantageous, we first aimed at the Vikings and carried out the 'Battle of Incheon'. The main force in the city capture was the artillery fire.
The last thing left after destroying the Vikings was the United States. Mr. stumpster succeeded in reducing the number of US military units from 430 to 250 in the first move by taking control of the aircraft with the 'plunging fire unit'. Although the air power was a considerable threat, the army was not so much, and the navy was at the level of 'still scared of the Vikings', so after that, he said that he maintained the railroad and sent troops to win.
In addition, sutmpster's 'capture' took 58 years in-game time, and it was only one day after Moore's post.
Knowing this news, Moore recalled his play, which was just trying to improve the terrain as if he was trying to push the waves back, 'maybe it was a waste of time,' and stumpster was the main force. He commented, 'I couldn't think of it' about the gun that I picked up. Finally, he concludes with 'Glory to Comrade stumpster's 58-year plan!', Which was the result of Congress's opposition to the war when the Celtic regime was democratic in the 1700 war. , It can be said that it is a comment like Mr. Moore who decided to shift to communism.
