Do we have the CAU forum saved from the original? There was so much to pull from.

We should have the CAU from the old forums. It will be transferred over here eventually.

The amount of time and effort you guys have put into this new forum and the design of a 2.0 game is incredible. Thank you to everyone involved.r

Also, didn't Mithrandir used to do CAU awards for the best ideas? That should probably be the first place we look.

Would rather the remaining and interested community develop for this. We don't have any base units, so all the previous are off in that sense anyways. We are doing a new game, new units new board. Not supplemental for TAO.

I just meant for inspiration. There was a lot of creativity and thought put into some of those units, surely we can pull some of the more fun and interesting mechanics from some of the CAU units and retrofit them to the new game?

[Hulky]

Sure, but the forum transfer isn't done yet. People can create their own unique thoughts and not hold up everything trying to get inspiration from decade old ideas. A handful of people have asked to reboot CAU anyways, so this is basically that except this stuff can become reality eventually.

Since this is a new game everything can be explored and discussed as well.

[Aristocatt]

Lets make a CAU sub forum and let's have a few people moderate that forum so we can get them to consolidate the most popular ideas. Once the old CAU is uploaded, we can have a thread dedicated to discussing old unit ideas.

[Hulky]

That's essentially what this board is. I don't know what the difference would be.
