Suggestion for AU Course Creators

I was over in the Conquests forum and noticed the thread on the Civ3 ini file.

Quote:

WorldSeed=0
The seed used to generate the last map played. If 0, the last game played was not a SP random map game. This is provided for players who like a map that was generated and would like to make a map in the editor that looks the same.

So when you're playing a random/epic game and think "Wow, this would make a great AU course," you could open up your INI file and grab the WorldSeed in order to recreate the geography, if not necessarily the exact series of events that led to your current situation.

Just a thought, not sure exactly how folks are creating the course games, but maybe this will help a little.

Wow, that's cool.

Good idea!

Great! Does it work the same in PtW too or is it just in Conquests...?

I vaguely recall seeing something about it even in Vanilla, but it ought to be easy to test.

This is a feature to be implemented with the beta patch next week, so it would be surprising if it worked for PtW. However, perhaps if another PtW patch came out for some reason it would be included.

EDIT: just checked the C3C ini file and it is already there...

AND in the PtW one too!
