If anyone wants to play version 1.05 instead I'd be happy to torrent it for you guys to download

Monkey can you give a summary of the differences between the current version and 1.5? From what I gather from the forums this one should be more balanced?

Depends what you mean by 'balanced' I guess, and whether you think hotseat starting positions should be 'balanced'. If you play with fought battles there will be more of a level playing field. Whichever version you play, if it's AR then the Romans, Crusaders, Kypchaks and Rajputs will rule.

I have only limited experience of versions post 1.05 because I so disliked the changes they brought in with version 2.

The major problem for me is the very restrictive AOR (area of recruitment) which meant faction-specific units could only be recruited in a very small number of starting provinces. Just not fun in my opinion, it means if you lose your starting provinces you can only recruit crappy generic troops and have no chance of fighting back.

Maybe @Visorslash can fill in the gaps, he's probably played more BC hotseats in late versions than me.

alright thats cool im up for this i really can see this game being fun and enjoyable. was best to do the 2.02 or the 1.5 version. i only did the 2.3 version once and im pretty sure u didnt have an option to build forts. was just a few permanent ones so thats stupid. back in the days on the other forums we did game the 2.02 version a lot and i really liked this. the 1.5 version i only did with the original wotk so im somewhat clueless what the 1.5 version is really about. i favor the 2.02 version. if there aint any other option to download the 2.02 version i still have the 2.02 files. if we use the same rules as for cog we good. i already picture some good moments with this game. the whole scenario is unique and special. and generally i think of broken crescent as more advanced. stainless steel is alright but broken crescent is strategically more complex

aw yea i ll go with ghazni. never did them

OK so who will post the files up for downloading? I'm going to Hungary tomorrow and will be back at the end of the week, but I'd like us to have this up and running for September.
