Moats added around castles
Special Abilities for the historical persons in the 4 campaigns
- Richard I of England can collect fleeing troops
- Emperor Manuel of Byzantine can "confuse" enemy units, that they hit them self.
The campaigns have different targets and a different way of playing it. In the Eastern, the religion plays a big role (because of unrest and unit development -> you can only build Teutonic knights in a Catholic area) in the New World if you play the Spanish have only few Units and you have to look for alliances and trading routes.
More Units on a battlefield.
Forts with water around it.... keep their position and which you also can conquer and use for yourself.
More + Different Mission Targets: A noble man appears and asks for your help in a combat. If you are successful, your reward will depend to how you won (how many you killed).
In the Britain Scenario you can make as enemy of England an alliance with renegade English aristocrats. They ask for your help, to conquer a town. If you give them the town after the victory, they will found a new anti-English fraction "Allianz der Barone"!
