Welcome!
You have discovered the Apolyton University Forum!
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, a fast finish, or even winning the game. Participants are encouraged to share their strategy after the game, and even to try several attempts.
For single-player games we have developed the AU mod, whose main purpose is to challenge the player with a need for deeper strategy. 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.
In this forum you can share your strategy and experiences for the current AU game, and you can participate in ongoing discussions that shape the AU mod, as well as official patches and expansion packs! You can follow past courses and the history of Apolyton University in AU History 101.
Welcome!

I don't have anything to be moved, but the C3C AU mod thread could be topped. It's designed to have little discussion and many links, so it easily gets lost if not topped.
Oh yeah, add my thanks for the forum!

Excellent!!!!
Now all the threads in the History Thread are all in this forum! Makes it much easier for anyone to find any of the past AU courses and threads about the mod!
Great work gentlemen.

The link to this forum in the top bar on each forum page (Today on Apolyton - "AU FORUM") currently links to the old Civ 3 Strategy forum.
Other than that, it's good to have the AU threads in one place. It'll improve clarity in the regular strategy forum as well, I'm sure many users will appreciate this also.
