A friend always appreciated the ability to install updates without needing an internet connection, but you no longer give instructions on how to do this since the Unity update.  My friend is a bit eccentric and worries about the ability to back up his data and programs and refuses to connect to the internet for many things (like game updates).  I try to remind him that a world without internet is most likely a world without electricity, but he wont hear it.  Although, I can respect his appreciation for non-intrusive DRM and games which don't require online activation.

I'm guessing you could just zip up the AIWar folder to archive the game at any particular beta version, but is there another way I should be aware of?  Thanks.

Sure thing. If you go to the updates list fetch URL (which I think is in one of the topics intechnical support stickies, iirc), then it has a list of all the updates. Simply download the ones you don't have, and stick them all somewhere. Then take those to the machine without the Internet connection, and Indio them all, one by one, in ascending order of their numbering (older ones first, in other words).

That's it! Let me know I'd you can't find the URL. :)

That's the one, thanks.  This specifically: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,7657.msg67798.html#msg67798

I was on my phone before, and couldn't easily reference it.
