| Description: |
Originally created by Dominae Play with the Apolyton University mod! In order to enrich the AU experience, the AU community has created the AU mod, whose main purpose is to challenge the player with a need for deeper strategy. In order to accomplish that goal, the mod tries to improve the AI and present the player with more strategic decisions, while changing as little as possible from the stock game. The mod can be used to play this course, and in case you really like it (we think you will!), it's also available to download for other epic games you might wish to play. For those of you who dislike mods, fret not: AU501 is also available in a stock rules version. Editor's Note: The AU Mod version is downloadable using the "Second File." AU501: The Power of Seafaring. The theme for the first Conquests AU course is the Seafaring trait. Your goal therefore is to determine the ins and outs of this wonderful new trait. Here are some game variables that might want to know before you begin: Civ: Byzantines Rules: Default Victory Conditions: All Rivals: ? Difficulty: Any World Size: Large Land Form: ? Climate and Temperature: Standard Age: 3 billion Barbarians: ? The amount of map "tweaking" by the scenario creator is ~5-10%. This means that you can expect a pretty standard game of Civ3, but if you're very familiar with the map generator some things may strike you as fishy. Hopefully this will not detract from your enjoyment. Let's Play! Here is what you need to do to play this scenario: Make sure you own and have installed Civ3: Conquests. You must also download the Conquests official beta patch v1.15. We're sorry to require this from all of you, but it's much simpler to organize this way. The patch is very good, as it fixes many problems with the retail version of the game. You can always uninstall it after you finish playing this scenario. Next, download one of the zip archives provided below. The main download is for the Stock version of the scenario, the "second file" the Mod version. Inside the archives you'll find a 4000BC savegame file for each difficulty from Regent to Deity. Simply extract the desired one to your Conquests "Saves" folder, run Conquests and fire up the game using the Load Game option. Simple! Actually, if you're planning on playing the AU mod version, it's a bit more complicated (just a bit). You will need the file "AU mod graphics" if you want the Industrial era tech tree to display correctly. The file can be found in the directory under AU Mod C3C version. Extract the file (along with the path - just use "Extract to...") to your Conquests "Scenarios" folder. Doing so will create an "AU Mod" folder where the game will look for any special graphics the mod may need. We're sorry if this is an inconvenience. Finally, as you play the game, remember to report back here periodically in the various DAR ("During Action Report") threads. This is where you'll post your exploits and strategy comments for all to see, and read those of others. However, keep in mind that these are spoiler threads, so try to finish playing each block before reading the corresponding thread. Enjoy, and may your Byzantine civilization stand the test of time! |
