The module was originally designed for second edition and was first created by xhrit.com was but abandoned. Later RimCiv further developed the modules and adapted it to the new version of Vassal and third edition. Due to a lack of time Caluin took over the module. It was then taken over by DarkScipio. The latest version is 3.4 and is designed for the fourth edition.
