[Civ4bug- Release] BUG 3.5.1 & BAT 1.1

[List f. N. R. <civ...@li...>]

We've released a new version of both BUG and BAT.

BUG 3.5.1 corrects the install error with BugPath which gave some users 
some troubles when updating from BUG 3.5.  Other then that, it is no 
different then the 3.5 release which was filled with changes.

BAT 1.1 on the other hand has some real goodies installed in it.  
Unfortunately we were not able to make this release work with Beyond the 
Sword version 3.13, so it's 3.17 only.  The additions we have made are:

Updated VD to version 4.0
Updated CityStyles to 1.3
Added Improved Graphics 2.0.  This is a HUGE addition, giving a new 
complexity to the look of the game.
Updated BUG Mod 3.5.1

Enjoy all our new features!  And remember, if you are updating BUG from 
a version prior to 3.5, you must uninstall and reinstall from scratch!

[Civ4bug- Release] The BUG Project New Release

[List f. N. R. <civ...@li...>]

New versions of both The BUG Mod and The BAT Mod have been released.  
All known bugs have been removed from The BUG Mod!  Way to go Ruff!  To 
download copy and paste this link into your web browser.  

http://civ4bug.sourceforge.net/

The BAT Mod is now working with Beyond the Sword 3.13 as well.  It's 
still in beta, and the mods contained are not updated, so you may get 
red blobs.  This will be resolved before we BAT goes to version 1.00  
The BAT Mod can only be ran from the Mods folder with this release.  

Enjoy!
