Well they sure as hell fucked up the nuke.

The first set of differences are difficult to judge between because one of them is a woodland map, and the other is a tropical map - the trees are different, and all the grass is different, but they're in both games.

I bought the gold edition, loved it. I bought the Extended edition, loved it.

I love this game. Its my favourite RTS ever. Rise of Legends is brillaint too BTW.

I only ply the Extended Edition for the animations, they are a lot more smoother.

[OfficialMaiconi]

There's not really any differences as far as I can tell. All they did in terms of "HD" is smooth out the animations and made them a little prettier. The older version looks better in my opinion

[Xspy]

For some reason, the new graphics give me eye strain.
I'm going back to the old graphics.

[altitoasmoro]

You know, I still like the original over the improved ones. Graphics is the only different, while the gameplay stays the same.

i miss the trails on the arrows and shit..

[davidherron]

its a shame all these games are not made with the graphics seen in War game series that would be truly epic

[HllBaron]

The only good thing of extended is smooth movements of 3d models and animations. The optimization process cuts off original textures quality. Antialiasing, anisotropic filter, this is a 2d game, don't even requires those.
Original still the best!

Nothing in vanilla can beat Azangara's Flora and Fauna mod for Rise of Nations :(

[ukeyaoitrash]

I couldn;'t see which was the HD version and then guessed it was teh right one and thought it looked worse...

[WweUploadHDForYou]

ill stick with the orginal rise of nations

[jarynn]

Man, some parts of the new version actually look WORSE than the original. If you go into the text files and up the resolution to 1920x1080, RoN Gold Edition looks beautiful, especially for its age. I'll take my non-Steam edition.

[Nictalpe]

Here we can see how in Edinburg live better house painters than in Richmond.

[SuperShadowKin]

Does the extended version let you modify the data files. I need my 2000 population cap.

[Danieloteroambroa]

I recently bought extended edition, I am repentant of that.... Original versionis better
WHERE THE HELL IS THE NUKE EXPANSIVE WAVE

[sharadowasdr]

Is it possible to play t&P mods in extended edition ? I want to try out my Napoleonic mod there.

[bobheisenberg]

right lads, just an idea but what if they are both the same version of the game, but one is on the lowest settings, and the other on the highest. This may not be the case, but i compared it directly to my copy of extended edition, and it honestly looks ten times better than both of the comparisons.

difference:
extended edition: More Colorful and smooth animations with brighter textures and enhanced shadows
normal edition:Less Colorful and choppy/laggy animations with darker textures and good shadows
