it seems to me this should be easy, but i cannot find it. Any ideas?
Two ways to do this. If you have an icon for the game on your desktop, right click on it, then click on properties, then click on "find target", then right click on the East India.exe target, and click on properties, then click on the version tab. Also, when you load the game, at the main menu, the version is listed in faint white letters in the far upper right corner. Good luck with a very slow game thanks to very little input into a good game language.
