What are the differences between the gold version and the 2.4?
There are a lot of differences:
-All the units are new (323 + officers, standard bearers, generals, historic characters, horses, elephants)and now have a more historical look.
-A complete new 2D art to menus, faction's interfaces, loading screen...
-The factions are different, some of them were delete (boii, allobroges) and some others are new (cenomanic, oscan, corsico-sardinian).
-Faction's symbols were changed.
-Trait's system was remake, now is more complex and extended.
-Ancillaires were changed to personal items, and are related with the trait's system.
-Campaing map's textures were changed.
-Provincial campaigns added, and this is the most important change. Now you can play the Italy's invasion step by step...by now there are the first campaings (Alps' crossing, Ticinus and Trebia's battle) but there are more to come out (Cannae, Trasimenus' lake, Tarentum and Croton, Capua's take, Zama...).
-Imperial campaign (main campaign) is non playable by now, there is a placeholder until i finish to made all the changes to do it playable (is a lot of work).
-Building's tree have a more complex and extended system.
And many more minor changes...
I have version 2.4, I will need to uninstall it and leave this new one, or it works as a "patch", you don't need to delete the other one?
You need to delete the old version if you want to try this new one.
Anyway, if you are playing the old version, you can wait a few time to play this new one, because there are some patches to update this version in a short time...
work in rome steam?
