Differences between BUG and BAT?

[Voltage]

I only just saw this mod forum last week and im using BAT 1.2 and Blue Marble, Its really rejuvenated my passion for this game. Ive browed this forum for couple hours recently and cant find answers to my questions.

Q. What are the differences between BUG and BAT?

Q. As i search i see most people typing BUG as what they use instead of BAT. Any reason for this?

Q. Do latest versions of BUG and BAT work with 3.19 on Vista?

Q. Are there any other great MODs like Blue Marble and BUG/BAT that make the game better?


Thanks.

A: Not much. BAT includes BUG but with additional unit graphics. The actual version of BUG in BAT might not line up sometimes as they have different release cycles.
A: People are confused - easy to do
A: The svn version of BUG - yes. All others - no, but the changes to the underlying files from v317 to v319 that BUG / BAT mod are very very minor. You shouldn't have a problem running them under v319.
A: I think all other mods change the game mechanics (range bombard, new great people, etc).
