Version 0.500 is now the latest version. The installer for some reason uploaded as Battle for Sicily 3, but I'm not sure why.

Python code is also on rapidshare:
Screenshots are from 0.40x -- Byzantine forces surging through a village, another of Byzantine cavalry charging, and a third of the villages around Qasryanna (formerly Enna):
New features for 0.5xx:
* More complicated economic system
New features for 0.4xx
* Two Greek factions are now playable -- Catania and Taorminum -- thanks to blindfaithnogod's excellent models
* The player character has nine different reputation traits, which are changed by his actions in the game and affect his interaction with other characters
* Each main party on the map is led by a named vassal, who has a randomly generated personality. This affects their relationship with their liege and other players. When the political system is fully developed, the player character will be able to manipulate the relationship between NPCs to his or her advantage.
* A larger and more detailed game map, containing major cities, smaller market villages, castles, and estates. To the best of my ability, every significant village (several hundred people or more) that was likely to have existed in medieval Sicily exists on the map.
* A bunch of new villages to attack. However, both village and city scenes are very much works in progress.
* A more complicated system of fief management, whereby players can raise a feudal levy, collect rents, and settle new soldiers on their estates. The player also competes with other lords of the same faction for lands.
