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. 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 Well, thats exactly what i meant.

Well this is a rather interesting Poll - one of the BEST! ;-)
Perhaps there are more than one issue here?
First of all it makes little sense to have the next CCC be based on "Beyond the Sword" since it will not even be available to everyone then - right? IF it is ... Forcing the issue to rush bye and play a potentially buggy multiplayer version is risky no?
Secondly I agree with a few posters saying to postpone (read: the use of BTS) for the next CCC. For all the reasons Mookie detailed already - I have to agree. I may not *hate* RaY but they are a clan to beat ;-). Healthy Rivalry hehe!
Thirdly perhaps there is a notion of postponing the CCC due to August which also tends to be a Vacation month?
Fourthly? *smile* Ok if the next CCC is going to be on schedule why not add vote not listed: "Have one or two introductory BTS events and have the next CCC primarily Warlords." (assuming it is available to all clans around the world)
If Beyond the Sword is available *and* there is a CCC there should be at least one event for it! Perhaps a non teamer event? In September hopefully by then the memory leaks and performance issues in MP will have been addressed and the CCC can be primarily Warlords.
Note: In society those in the know tend to make the best decision despite it's popularity. Since the "Yes, but with warlords" could mean very little BTS I would not jump to the conclusion that the AYEs have the winning vote either ;-).

I agree with Arcvan, It must be Warlords. But people have tendency to vote for everything with word BtS. No matter what is it. We are for BtS, give it right now!

Maybe just the ironman and future/modern (indu/ren?) should be moved to BTS. Sure RaY will have a big advantage, but I'm just ready for a new game and some new stuff--it's been longer between the first and second exp than between the original release and the first exp. I just think it would be more fun

It's just a f**king game, let's use BtS... and euros can just download the game from any american site ffs. Who cares if RaY wins by a landslide, it'll still be fun.
I play this game to have fun, not win every CCC and game I ever play, give me a break sore losers.
I suspect several of the naysayers are tightwads that want to get the game for free because the cracked version won't be immediately available.
I wouldn't mind a 75% warlords 25% BtS game. Let's do that instead for all the people that for some reason can't get the game.

Have you reached a decision CS? Or do you know at which date the decision will be given? Whatever the decision, it will help players to organize their schedules chris.

I should be posting an official date anyway, within the next couple days, a precise schedule probably won't be finalized until closer to that weekend.

The CCC will officially be the weekend of the 17-19 Aug and will be a hybrid CCC. Further details will follow, but I do have UQC and Vanilla mods for BTS ready for it's release so there will be a fair mix of Warlords and BTS events, to test BTS and keep Warlords events were we simply don't have the experience to run them as BTS. This should also maximize rosters for clans as not every clan member will buy BTS right away, and they can still be employed this CCC in warlords events.
More to follow as BTS rolls out...

If there is always mix WL / BTS, is it possible to know early which BTS events and which WL events ?

There are new maps, new systems(espionage, corporations etc) that we would have to make new rules/settings, and we just don't know enough about these in a competitive MP environment to decide that now.

I'm afraid that since we are really only at the spot were BTS games are exceeding Warlords games, I hope to get a draft by next weekend after a week of BTS playing by the majority of the ladder. But if you have suggestions please have your CCCAC rep, post them in the CCCAC forums, they are not really being used to there potential yet, and I'd like to see that changed as that is were I should be getting advice from on these sorta issues.

I don't think they are playing. Of course I haven't talked to them in a month. But if they do play it will be with an extremely small roster.
