Upcoming AU Course

"Power of Seafaring" should probably be the English, then, don't you think?

It would be fun to try out new stuff in C3C (like UUs), no?

Plus, as I recall, the "Island Hopping" AU used the English.

I have not done any reading about the new unit/civs or traits. So I have little to offer, until get the game. It all sounds like fun and I have faith in community to get something good put together.

Yes, so sorry. I tend to get a bit pissy this time of the morning. Excuse me.

Maybe - just maybe - y'all should consider modding the French to seafaring for this AU course. Although, this'll probably be the case in the Age of Discovery scenario.

[Rhothaerill]

I would like to have the next course similar to what Dom suggested...a "power of" with one of the new traits, new civs, and new UUs. The last several AU courses have all been "specialized" to some extent (total war, humongous map, no golden age, modified succession, and UN peacekeepers). A "standard" AU game with new Conquests stuff is just what the doctor ordered.

[Dominae]

Since none of the new stuff will be new to me, I offer to set up the map. Nothing too crazy, I promise!

If I get time to play, I'd vote for a random game with one of the new civs - preferably trying out one or both of the the new seafaring & agricultural traits.

Uh oh! Alert! Dominae setting up the map! Horses and iron available only after Navigation.

The 1.4.1 will allow the Dutch to defend themselves from the nearby Germans, Spanish, French and English while being able to go seize the Congo etc. in the meantime.

Well, actually the Congo never was ours. You have to look at Alva for that one...

[Tall Stranger]

Couple of thoughts:

1) YS: not much point in modding the game just so we can use the French. I'd also like to try out one of the new civs.

2) Agree with Rhothaerill that a standard game might be perfect as an intro to Conquests.

3) Dom: Thanks for volunteering to set up the map. I'll believe your claim of "nothing too crazy" when I see it!!

Excuse me, you're quite right. I feel like a total fool.

Hey... why didn't BELGIUM make the game?

Aaaagh, sorry, OT again.

So Byzantines then? Dominae if your going to set up this AU course could I tell you some things I want to implement in it?

I will respect peoples decision here. We already have some new course ideas. Let's do the power of Seafaring first. Choose a civ.

for the first course we could just combine "the power of seafaring" and "the power of agriculture" by just being the dutch in an epic game.

[Tassadar500]

But it's not really what the AU is about. We can't combine the two lessons together.
