AU History 101

[Arrian]

Like Catt, I spent some time (a lot of it, actually) re-reading the Minitourney spoilers, and at times it was pretty amusing to see how much people have changed their playstyle.

I doubt that your quote, Catt, is the worst one in there. I'm sure I said something equally silly.

badams:




You are awesome!!

Thanks for getting this up, and in such excellent fashion as well.

It's great that this got topped, too!

I *absolutely* enourage newer players / posters to not only read the threads, but play these games... a great, great learning experience.

Once I get done catching up on a) AU games myself ( ) and b) posting a full page worth of thread responses ( again), I'll go back and start reading some of these... should be funny. I'm sure I'll feel and about my own play and commentary!!

Again, great job.

/me thinks: COOL!!

I am always amazed at the fine work put in by some of the good people on this board.

Thanks vxma1

Thanks Theseus,

Often when playing the AU courses I had wanted to go back and play some of the earlier ones since I've loved the later ones so much, but it was an effort to find them. So I thought I'd help myself and everyone else out by creating an index to all the games.

When it came time to posting it to the board, I actually modelled the style from your "must read" thread, which I thought was excellently designed for ease in finding links.

Hopefully AU won't end with 302 and it seems that there is still lots of interest in the AU games. I think the screenshots and AARs really help spark interest as well.

thanks for the summary, it was a great help (i finally understood what AU is all about) and i looked at a lot of spoiler threads... fascinating abilities to be seen!

but i still have some questions:
- how often does a new AU appear?
- what's the logic behind the numbers 101-107, 201-208, 302, 401?
- when is the next game due?

thanks again!

[vmxa1]

I am not sure I have the answers to those questions, but will toss out my understanding, until we get an "offical" word.
They are talking about the next one now and discussing how often they should be in the future.

I think 100's were the starting ones and use the pre PTW. They were working on the AU mod during that phase.
I think the 200's are the one that are since PTW came out.
The 300's I forget why and 401 is from MZO.
Not sure what they will do when the addon hit the stores.

[sabrewolf]

and i was busy trying to find some logic like e.g.
1xx is for training your warmongering abilities
2xx is for builders
3xx for other special stuff (max. your GA, sons of aeson, etc.)

or something like that. it wasn't

does it need a new number group when C3C comes out? can't there just be 3 versions to download?

It will probably need a new number 5xx or 1xxx.

I have not looked at anything to do with Conquest, so I do not know what features it will contain.
If they make AI changes and enhancement to graphics and such, I would expect them to not incorporate them into PTW or CivIII.
That would mean you would have to be careful about making maps that could play on all.
At the start, if they are incompatible, they would need one for at least PTW and Conquest. This is because Conquest will likely not be available world wide day 1.
Or as I said, not use any of the new features in the map.

Whoa! Nice work badams.

Now is there any time to try one of these before the new AU...? Do we have ideas ready for the patch?

Recent games will have a series of threads for posting at specific points in the game.

Something like AU502 DAR1 4000BC........

[vulture]

BINYO - STOP POSTIN IN THIS THREAD. This is just a library to point to all the threads for AU courses. Look at the first post to find the thread you should be posting in.

I suspect he's doing AU101, which was Japan, and would explain why he's posting in this thread (which has 101 in the title after all).

Cut them from here and paste them in the above thread please, if this game is from AU101.

[Theseus]

Good job getting IW, though, binyo!
