I've managed to acquire two betas from the Internet and am trying to run the earlier one of the two.

Has anyone of you folks had any luck getting this to run? It just quits on me with error messages and I can't quite tell what it needs to run. I've more or less wrecked my Windows 95 installation in a vain attempt to get it to work but nope.

All I'm aware of is the AoE2 00.09.07.0222 alpha. Where did you get these two?

I got them from a private FTP, but I thought they'd be well-known and easily available on the Internet. Is that not so?

Oh cool, I randomly found the solution. Apparently, it just needs WinG installed; even though that's meant for 3.1, it does seem to work fine on 95 (and apparently any subsequent Windows).

I'm trying the first build and it's definitely very early, the icons are different and the pathfinding is really iffy and keeps breaking causing the villagers to get stuck or just stand still.

Are you talking about AoE1 or 2?
I have played AoE2 more than I can remember and I will be really happy to listen about the beta

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
