Should the next AU course come before or after a patch?

[Dominae]

5CC is still playable (and OCC too, although the gpt bug is more annoying then).

I don't know if a mod could even be created to try to avoid running into massive corruption

Is it possible in the editor to finagle the OCN?
Could we just add 50% or even 100%?

Would that even have any affect?

I think a consensus could be reach for a pre-patch AU course if we think “small”.

I could put up with the GPT bug if corruption is minimized.

I could actually go for a 5CC AU game. (I've never played that before, and I've been thinking about trying it on my own anyway.) To be especially evil, why don't we play as an agricultural civ? That'll be a nice wasted trait. Maybe have the other one be industrious, which also should be pretty wasted on this set up (I would think). What would that make us, the Mayans? Great, all those workers we enslave will do us no good.

[Dominae]

Agricultural is still quite strong in a 5CC game. Just because you're not building more than 5 Settlers does not mean pop is less useful (or half-price Aqueducts).

I think a 5CC game is a great idea!!

Further, we can just agree to take 1/2 of gpt deals (that's not more restricting than say, oh, NO WAR or WAR 4EVER!!).

Tada... major issues resolved!!

[Tassadar500]

I would give permission if we agree to do a 5CC

[Dominae]

I want to play (meaning I'm not volunteering to make the scenario this time)!

5CC? Haven't tried it, but ANYTHING for an actual AU game.

Something is better than nothing, you naysayers.

[Tassadar500]

If you agree to play in Vanilla Civ 3 then I could design it

[donZappo]

If a new AU game is created would there be a temporary AU mod as well? Since this is my first time participating in the creation of an AU mod I don't know how its release relates to the release of courses. Some of the AU threads have reached a point of having workable changes so I can see the possibility of a temporary mod coming out. What's the precedent from the AU?

[Dominae]

Nuclear Master, I think we should make a Conquests AU course (bugs and all). That's the whole reason to restrict ourselves to 5CC.

I would like to have this course up and running in the next week or so...because I want to play! The AU mod is not likely to be ready before the holidays, so let's just go ahead a play a stock rules course.

I can design the scenario if Nuclear Master would prefer, since I'm not all that interested in playing a 5CC game.

Whoever designs it, the question of exact parameters needs addressed. What civ, map size and other parameters do you want? Also, do you want a relatively average starting position, or a "best 5CC starting position on the map" (starting from a randomly generated map) starting position?

As for the civs, does the new C3C civs plus one of the civs that's changed for C3C sound good, or would a more typical mix be better?

That's why I put the cute smiley there But you are right, the AU Mod won't be ready for quite some time.

Map size should be Standard; any smaller and 5CC gets much easier, any bigger and some players' computers cannot cope.

Everything else is up to the map maker. The starting position should be "strategically" interesting, yet as random as possible. Unlike the OCC scenario I designed, I do not think the map and starting location should be tailored for 5CC.

You mean opponents or playable civs? I much prefer everyone use the same civ, as IMO it makes the DARs much more interesting to read. I was thinking we could try Korea, in order to test out bombardment (and lethal ground bombardment). As for opponents, it makes no difference to me.
