Apolyton University is a school of strategy, where students sharpen their Civ3 skills and share their experiences in a series of thematic games. When playing an Apolyton University game, gaining and sharing knowledge is more important than getting a high score, or even winning the game. Participants are encouraged to share their strategy after the game, and even to try several attempts.
There have been more than two dozen AU games to date, and the latest AU game is the first foray into multi-player Civ (see AU History 101 for an overview and links to all AU materials). AU 601 is a struggle between two human players playing as ancient Rome and ancient Greece in a play-by-email (PBEM) format on a standard size map, sharing their world with 6 AI civilizations. AU 601 also imposes unusual limitations on gameplay (individually agreed to by each pair of human competitors) that eliminates or severely restricts human aggression against the AI civs.
The discussion thread leading to the AU 601 format; the discussion thread leading to the selection of civs; and the discussion thread regarding how to share game reports without spoiling others’ games can all be found in AU 601: Collection of Links and DARs. Don’t read the DAR (“during action report”) threads if you don’t want prior knowledge of the AU 601 map and circumstances.
This thread offers the single-player (“SP”) version of AU 601. Play as Rome or play as Greece; play under standard rules** or play with the AU Mod (see Apolyton University Mod: C3C version); and play any difficulty level from Regent to Sid. Appropriate DAR threads will be created very soon for your own reporting of SP successes and failures.
Due to attachment file size limitations, the saved games for all possible combinations of available variables are broken into 4 separate posts below – be sure to choose the saved game that interests you.
Enjoy!
** In both the stock rules and AU Mod versions, one unique modification has been made by the scenario’s creator Sir Ralph – in place of the default German civ, AU 601 instead employs the Germanic Tribes, led by the Sovereign Hermann. The Germanic Tribes are a Militaristic and Agricultural civ with the Germanic Rider (3.1.2, available with Horseback Riding, replaces Horseman) as its UU.
