It contradicts Arneson's campaign and also conveys a very different atmosphere than what other sources suggest about the City. Also, there is no reason why the DA3 scenario would not work with the City having been there much longer, as the crew could easily have been sleeping in stasis, as was Captain Riesling's order anyway...

Stasis would make a lot more sense and that's a good idea. My sense of it (particularly given Stephen Rochefords account) is that the city of the gods was not originally connected to "Saint Stephen" (I'm pretty sure it predates the TotF storyline). Stephens ship was a small scout ship the crash landed, seemingly in the swamp. City of the Gods was a much older and bigger thing.
