All MechCommander 1 / Gold Versions:

As this seems to be not clear - or easy to misinterpret here a clear sight on my version mess...

v1.0 - MechCommander 1 - Original campaign - The original campaign is v1.8 content
v1.8 - MechCommander Gold - Desperate Measures Expansion (+ three different customermade campaign standalones with six additional campaigns to play on the original built)
v2.0 - MechCommander Gold - Ultimate campaign merge Update (prior Darkest Hours built)
v3.0 - first MechCommander Gold - Darkest Hours Full Version Standalone release
v4.2 - MCG Darkest Hours final
v4.3 - MechCommander Gold - Prometheus v0.2beta (actually v4.3)
(v5.0 - MCG Prometheus) - The game is under ongoing development until it's finished!

Legend:
Strikethrough = Those versions are outdatet, not supported or don't exist anymore! Their content remains in the existent builts that are available as freeware download content here on modDB or other places and gaming sites in the web.

MCG P.R.O.M.E.T.H.E.U.S. - is the future...

... v5.0 is the total version number for MechCommander in general. Only Prometheus will be evolved up to that level. Reason is that i took new paths during the creation process of the new standalone. The further development of the game content is obsolete for the existent versions. They are finished products and their version numbers won't change anymore. The Version number of the Prometheus Beta built will change to 4.x above when v1.0 beta is released. This v4.x built will be further developed until it can be considered as complete (v5.0 then).
During the creation process of Prometheus i'm limitbreaking many things that where untouched before. Such like unit limits become obsolete in my built. I managed to create scenarios with more than 200 enemy units for example. I created the biggest convoy ever seen ingame on screen for the next example. All of those mentioned details are already part/content of the current Beta release that weighs 33 missions !!! - a demo release for testing that offers more content than the original game had even with it's expansion content altogether!
