By the way, enjoy this fellas, but I'm gonna sit it out. Huge maps just aren't for me (or my computer). Plus, I'll be on vacation next week.

Come on, Arrian... this AU course is gonna last longer than a week... we'll be playing another one at the same time... this is just a "background" game...

Right, everyone?

Like maybe when Civ 4 comes out?

We'll see Yahweh. Maybe I'll try it out. No promises, though.

My vacation is in RL, not a self-imposed vacation from civ (hah, like that would work!). I won't have access to civ in the Caribbean, and if I did, and I played, I should probably be shot.

Yes, I think even the biggest civ-freak would have to agree with that analysis.

Still, I'd be very grateful if you'd join in the game, even if you spread your gaming experience over literally months.

I mean, I do think that should be the plan... we all have more pressing civ games to attend to after all... I'm still trying to win as every civ on a huge map, a commitment that I do not take lightly, but should for the sake of my job, my GF, and my health.

I think the huge map AU course is something that we can all look to from time to time... if it's stressing anyone out, it's sort of beyond the point.

Especially if the total war/despotism only/archipelageo/whatever AU course goes up around the same time! I want in on that one, too.

I've just finished the scenario. All I need now are the updated AU mod files and we should be ready to go.

The following civs are avaible to play in the stock Civ3 version: Egyptians, Russians, French and Aztecs.

For the Play the World version, the above civs are still available, and the Carthaginians and Spanish are added in.

I hope this is satisfactory. Each of these should make for an interesting game, not to worry.

I've attached a screenshot of the start location (which gets better once a bit of the darkness is revealed...).

Is that a hint that we move from the starting location at our own risk?

Edit: Let's leave the spoiler/hints stuff for another thread.

Dominae

What, do we not get a worker (and a scout as the Russians) in this mod?

[Yahweh Sabaoth]

Also, Dominae, does this mean we should (gulp) download your mod and start playing this AU course?

I've never done this before, so forgive my idiocy. I have a hard time even finding my way to the D/Ls section here at Apolyton...

EDIT: Catt's thoughts on building in place or moving a tile from the start location edited out - to reappear later in a future spoiler thread

EDIT: Ditto.

[Dominae]

Double-post.

[Dominae]

Yahweh, any mod rules (if you wish to use them) will be included in the files I upload, so there is no need to download anything extra. You will also be able to play unmodded versions of the scenario, too. The AU mod we're using does not do anything drastic like remove Workers or Scouts, not to worry. I was just asking a hypothetical question.

Catt, I did not think about it in terms of not popping the Hut...good thinking! Maybe this should go in the spoiler/hints thread?

Good point. I edited mine - perhaps you can do the same for yours?
