Real World Maps: These maps are based on geographical locations such as Italy, Britain and France.
More New Maps : 9 new maps to choose from including Scandinavia, Yucatan and more.
New Victory Condition: Now there's a “Last Man Standing” victory condition. Once you and your team members have defeated the enemy, you can turn on each other until one player remains.
Queuing Up Farms to Replant: Tried of replenishing your farms? Now from your granary, you can queue up farms so your villagers will automatically start replanting once the farm has run out.
Ship Formation: Similar to the military land formation, ships can now sail in formation.
Ram garrisoning: You can now place your military units inside battering, capped and siege rams for additional protection. Garrisoning units inside will also increase the ram's speed and attack.
Smart Villagers: Villagers are now much more productive. After you tell a villager to complete a building, they will follow through with another work task. For example, when you tell a villager to build a lumber mill, upon completion, the villager will start chopping down trees.
Smart siege weapons: Siege weapons such as mangonels, onagers, and siege onagers, will not attack if they can harm friendly units.
Improved trading tributes: You can now buy, sell and tribute in lots of 500. You can also tribute everything in your stockpile.
Enhanced chatting: When you send a message to other players, your message will be displayed in your color.
Improved Diplomacy UI: You can see other players' stances towards you.
Friend or foe colors: Change player colors to see enemies in one color, allies in another color.
Command allied computer players: Use chat commands to order allied computer players to attack, tribute resources, and build an economy, military, or a Wonder.
Return to previous view: Wish you could view your last location? You can when you press BACKSPACE; it moves the screen to your previous location on the map. For example, if you are currently viewing a battle and you switch back to start mining some more gold, pressing BACKSPACE will bring you back to the battle view. Press the key multiple times to display the last 10 locations.
Random team options: When playing team games, instead of assigning yourself to a number, you can select a question mark (?) as the team setting. So when the game starts, the computer will randomly assign you to one of the teams. If all players select (?), then two teams will be created.
Improved game recording: Record chat text and insert chapter markers so you can easily play back important battles.
Full-size map screenshots: Choose the reduction radio and create a screenshot of the entire game world.
Improved map editor: New scenario triggers, including the ability to change unit names and attributes.
Customizable random maps: You can create your own random map scripts that tell the computer what terrain, elevation, and resources to play when creating random maps.
