** The Anti-Boer coalition, nicknamed by fans the OCP(Orange Containment Project, where several civs (Brazil, Ethiopia, Buccs, Inuit, Vietnam, Iceland) declared war against the Boers, ended in [[spoiler:Faliure due the complete death of Ethiopia]], but to Iceland fans it was a win,since [[spoiler:they ended the war by getting two capitals]].

** In part 107, [[spoiler:Brazil reduces the Boers to a fraction of their former self, taking the entirety of North Africa all the way up to the Boer core, including important Future Worlds wonders such as the Nephilim Gene Template. Meanwhile in North America, the Blackfoot finally declare war on the Inuit, who promptly ''triple'' their military numbers and wipe the Blackfoot off the mainland in a single part]].

** Part 105. Starts of with Brazil peacing out Sweden.[[spoiler:Finland gets eliminated by the Kimberleys, who then procced to get invaded by Vietnam and Brazil ending with the Kimberleys getting eliminated. Then the entire world declares war on Hawaii for no reason, ending with them being eliminated as well. All in all an eventfull part.]]

** And of course [[spoiler:Part 120, the series finale of MK II. Brazil slowly eliminates the last traces of global resistance, killing Vietnam, Korea, the Inuit and Sibir in a single part. After this, Brazil starts a ruthless war for the Australian mainland, leaving large parts of Australia and the Pacific completely depopulated. Australia survives, but only in a few cities in New Zealand and Melanesia, leaving them to watch helplessly as Brazil captures Sydney and ends the game.]]

The first iteration of the Battle Royale featured 42 civs, but due to technical problems it had to be abandoned after 19 parts. The current iteration features 61 civilization on an even larger map. To give you an idea of the scale of this project, Australia's turns currently take no less than [[https://twitter.com/TPangolin/status/744919679647395840 2 hours]] to process.

** Brazil wears a regal crown, [[spoiler: fitting for their position as #1 in the power rankings]].

* AllPowerfulBystander: Both in the physical game and the lore around it, [=TPangolin=] (playing as Nebuchadnezzar), through the use of the In-Game Editor mod; technically, [=TPangolin=] could do anything he wants with the game, but for the sake of the battle just takes screenshots and fixes bugs. [=TPangolin's=] role was later taken over by ReonMonterus from the Blue Cassette team.

The project is the brainchild of the popular ''{{Civilization}}'' modder [=TPangolin=]. For the uninitiated, the goal of ''[[{{VideoGame/Civilization}} Civilization V]]'' is to build a civilization to stand the test of time, and in this game that means annihilating everyone else. The current state of the Battle Royale is shared through albums on the official website with screenshots, known simply as "parts".

** Oh Yakutia, poor Yakutia... They previously reached the number one spot in all of the CBR! but now, they are reduced to a crappy city in a isolated spot, just waiting to someone to put a end on their misery.

** Part 27, titled [[spoiler: MULTIKILL!]] saw three civs being eliminated: [[spoiler:Poland, Sioux, and Kongo.]]

* ArtificialBrilliance: Some civs (including Finland, Korea, Vietnam, and the Buccaneers) have been lauded for making intelligent tactical moves...

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Buccaneers love creating aircraft carriers. Unfortunately, they aren't as eager to actually put planes on them. This bites them hard in the ass once [[spoiler: Australia declared war]].
* BackFromTheDead: So far, the Sioux, America, and Israel have all (temporarily, in the first two cases) been brought back by another nation liberating a city another nation conquered long ago. A number of other nations have ceased to exist for a turn when their last city was flipped then soon returned.

* CoolHelmet: The icon of the late-game Power Armor Infantry.

** Ethiopia's destruction of Arabia.

** And overshadowing all other curb stomps, [[spoiler: Brazil's total conquest of Boer Africa]].

** Brazil is currently the pinnacle of this, having grown from the most potentially powerful civ in the infamously sleepy South America to [[spoiler: a civ with total dominion of ''two continents'', one of which used to belong to the ''Boers'']].

** In part 108, [[Pretoria has fallen.]] That is all.

* AnyoneCanDie: Even mid-tier nations get destroyed utterly if the superpowers put their minds to it.
