il mine is older 2004ish but its the best one to me so far.
So, you compared it to newest one and you prefer that old one?
That's sad, because i hope current team will be able to make something playable, near to original war2...
My impressions: new wargus looks more playable and stable than different old versions.
Would be great if you report your comparison between different versions.
At least current team still continue development. I hope maybe our feedback would be interesting for them.
Maybe even somebody of us can help them in development (as i understand, wargus is lua-scripting + war2 textures) for stratagus engine.
