No new techs.

There are 2 new Units that everyone can build. The swordsmen upgrade: Midieval Infantry 4-2-1 cost 40 require iron (Feodalism). Upgrades to the Guerilla. And the Guerilla 6-6-1 cost 90, reuires no resources (Replaceable Parts).

All old units upgrades to the Guerilla.


And there are 3 new city improvements,

The Commercial Dock. Works like Collosus.
The Civil Defense, increase bombardment defense (If I'm not wrong)
Stock Exchange (Additional Commercial building, 5 required for Wall Street now instead of banks)

and 1 new wonder

The Internet, gives you a Golden Age if you havn't had one. And puts Research Centers in every city.

There are also new stuff in the editor, which the Mongol's Keshik uses. It has greater movement on Mountains. (Which I think means it treats mountains like flat ground).

and a Modmanagment system. Where each mod can have their own graphics folder etc...

And there are also new unit graphics:
- 17 Japanese units.
- 24 World War 2 units
- 12 Dinosaurs.

And the Cannon and Catapult now has small guys standing by them.

2 new terrain sets, plus the Watercolor terrain set.
- European Terrain
- Winter Terrain

There is a debug mode, where you can play through your scenario to try it out. Includes cheats.

And the new Victory types.
- Elimination: Lose one city and you lost
- Regicide: Your leader becomes a unit in game, loose him and you have lost
- Mass Regicide: You have 7 kings, loose them all, and you loose.
- Capture the Princess: There is a princess in every capital, capture her and bring her to your capital for points.
- Victory Points - You can have Locations and Capture as victory points, that means Locations are positions on the map which you get points for holding. And capture are that you get points each time you capture an enemy unit.

All of the new Victory types can be combined aswell.

Bars? I'm sure there are those who consider them an essential feature of a well-built city. Somehow, I haven't seen the option to build one yet. Seems some folks spend too much time there, as it is.
I was a bit disappointed myself to see only one new Wonder. As yet, I haven't thought of any others, though, or how they would benefit the builder.
All those other goodies have made it a nice expansion. But where are the Dinos?!?!?!? ((right, why would I care?))
.
I've seen the units, and they are pretty nice. There is only one scenario that uses them, and only two, at that, as barbarians. I guess I'll have to knuckle down and learn how to build a scenario myself, then.:)
.
Thanks, GreyFox, for listing all the improvements.
