We have discussed this issue in the CCCAC forums with the thought that the Aug CCC should likely be cancelled and that the mid Sept CCC would be our next one. It is a complicated issue, BtS comes out 24th July(later than that out side NA) and the Aug CCC is in the first week of Aug.
We could simply run the Aug CCC as our last Warlords CCC, but that could be complicated as well, for those that buy and install BTS it will also update WL's and Civ4.....they will not be compatible with 2.08 after that. I can't say more on that right now. I'm not sure at this point if the stand alone patches for WL and Civ4 will be released concurrently with BtS as that is a marketing decision.
But I also know that some people do build there schedules around the CCC, so please take your chance for a vote.

let's do a bts ccc.... most clans will be on an equal footing and those that aren't well who cares it's not like they're losing anything, it's just a game

just depends on whether all other countrie get the expansion pack by the time the aug ccc comes around, also i doubt it will be a very good ccc especially for those people who get it late and dont have a clue for what is involved. make this the last warlords, and give the expansion pack some breathing space without rushing into it...

Not everyone is going to go out and buy the expansion pack " if this is just a game" they would rather enjoy it before getting involved in so much drama.

Why not delay the CCC by 2 weeks. that would solve it.

It's the best idea I think. Don't forget that some players won't get BTS before the CCC... And for the planning, how the admins can do it in one week if lots of things change with BTS? They might change lots of options (map, turn, civ prohibited, if MOD (UQC) work with BTS and more)!

just a problem, if you download the bts on your computer, you wont be able to play warlords anymore as mp player. So, i'd say forget warlords and maybe skip a ccc and do bts in 12 weeks.

Don't you think it will exactly the same as now? You can play Civ4 Vanilla even if you have Warlords installed, so why will they change this system?

Definitely the next CCC should be BTW, alot of people at GOD were unable to get it up for Warlords one last time, never mind doing it all over again when BTW is available. A delay of 2 weeks would also be good as we've had alot of events recently and I know I could do with not having a CCC or Nations Cup for a while!

Because I dont think warlords patched civ4 from the start. With BTS as CS states it will patch vanilla and warlords so for eg you wont be able to play vanilla or warlords with someone who has not installed BTS

Hum I don't see why it should be a problem It's simple you make a copy of your's warlord directory before BTS installation and you can play with the warlord as actually or with the patched warlord version Uh! Don't you think it will exactly the same as now? You can play Civ4 Vanilla even if you have Warlords installed, so why will they change this system? Because I dont think warlords patched civ4 from the start.

I think it will be very interesting to play with BTS. With the holidays and the new add-on it should be a very interesting and surprising CCC!

Stilgars Solution makes the most sence why not just play it as it is on Warlords but Copy youre Warlords folder as if you was beta testing or something

Well viewing the results so far, it is interesting, people seem to be tired of Warlords and want to play BTS....but one week after it's released in NA is far too soon for us to be able to plan a CCC and take into account all the rule/option changes. And I for one don't want to spend all weekend making snap decisions about controversial uses of BTS mechanics.
The next scheduled CCC after Aug is Sept 15th, if people want a BTS CCC before that, I can look at a dates sooner but I want to stay away from the labour/may day long weekend as well, as many people take thier families on one last vacation then.

CS You should stop hosting CCC's in June during the midsummer festival celebration weekend too then, like last CCC was
