"The Eternal War is a Civilization II save game posted on the social news aggregation site Reddit by the user Lycerius in 2012, which has attracted a significant amount of media attention. According to the post, the original player had been playing the game on and off for ten years. The game world, in the game year 3991 AD was a "hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation". The civilizations were locked in a perpetual war that lasted 1700 in-game years. All of the land on the map has been transformed into swampland because "ice caps melted 20 times... due primarily to the many nuclear wars". Reddit contributors have helped Lycerius come up with a "solution" to end the war. However, the “Eternal War” continues to live in fanfiction." - civilization.fandom.com
