History
The mod was originally started by gogo_t on the M1TW platform, but as M2TW was released, it eventually moved to the latter. The team grew gradually, with people eventually coming and leaving, but progress went along steady in BGTW's own forum. The first version was released in April 2007 and featured only one campaign, set in the year of 1072, representing the newly added Bulgarian faction at the times of Georgi Voiteh's insurrection against the Byzantines. In July 2008, the second version came to be released, featuring a new second campaign, set in 1220 and featuring many new additions, including the new faction of the Latin Empire and the inclusion of several other mods. Work is currently being done on the third version of the mod, which aims to completely change it with a whole new map covering the Balkans and Asia Minor and whole new 7 factions from the year 700, including the Avars, the Khazars, the Slavs, the all-time favourite Byzantines, the rising Arabs and, naturally, Danubian Bulgaria and Kuber's Bulgars.
