- From Gunpowder Age every war ship has quite visible projectile trajectory.
- Spies dont bribe too easily like original game, and with modern ones while bribing you'll see bouncing Dollar, Euro, or Yen symbols instead of gold coins.
- The snipers can fire much more times and are more useful in battlefield.
- You will see the senators, regents, deputies, aristocrats, ministers and comissars ever with an appearance corresponding with the age that you are playing, no more ancient units in modern ages.

There are an alternate colors file that turn off the team colors. If you want to play without team colors you have to modify the rise2.ini file and change the value of UseAltColors from 0 to 1. This file is located in the AppData folder of the system, someone explained it before in "http://ron.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=10,4629,150,all".

This modification don't pretend to be historical or accurate with any other academic topic, its only an attempt to play Rise Of Nations with mostly of the units and buildings unique for each civilization. With this modification YOU CAN PLAY WITHOUT ANY TEAM COLOR.

To install this modification you have to replace completely the folders art, conquest, data, mapstyles, scenario, terrain art, and tribes CONTAINED INSIDE Thrones and Patriots FOLDER of the game with the new ones of the unzipped file.
