Many thanks to AlanH for hosting us here all this time



History Rewritten is an expansion and enhancement of Beyond the Sword designed for both Mac and Windows, single and multiplayer. It's philosophy is that new content and new mechanics are great, but only when they are designed and integrated well; carefully balanced, and using quality art. Many aspects of BTS have been rebalanced or redesigned to accomodate this, some quite extensively. The mod is actively developed; there've been 24 updates since release back in 2010, and more are planned.

History Rewritten values historical accuracy, but equally strives for historical diversity and to avoid determinism. After all, you are not recreating history - you are rewriting it!

Thanks to Xyth for all his hard work on this Mac-friendly mod, and to those who have contributed ideas and advice during its development.
