It's my destiny to make the game playable for all others interrested in this game, so that the people can get a real-life experience of the beta stages of the game.
version: 00.97.09.07.0222
language: Russian
Description: These are the bulk of the files necessary for the beta version of AoK. The graphics files are in the second part, and these are mainly the files one would need to make the game playable, which it is. The language files are in Russian, however that is easily fixed.
You will be needing WinRAR to decompress it, and it can all be extracted to any folder you like.

This version has still the command button functions, and units from the beta's, but all icons, many graphics are nearly complete.
Availability:
Very Rare (Currently no download link available)
Improved Beta:
this version looks like the older beta's, but there are still many objects that look like the same as the normal AoK. many icons, and interface controls have a better look, that older beta's.
Availability:
extremly rare (Currently no download link available)
This version is the only version available for download above here.
The game has a very cheap interface buttons set, and the complete source code looks like the one of the older age of empires 1. Almost every object has it's beta look.
Walls, gates, villagers, many trees, bamboo, fishes, and some other things look still like the current versions of AoK.
---
The older versions are unknown for us.
if all people on AoK heaven support this research in search for the lost beta's, we will get a much bigger chance to get a new beta.
I suggest people to search not only with google, but with other searching machines to, because the width of the search action will be more effective.
