Also the AI in the original will keep building infrastructure regardless of whether he has money (or hasn't). Last but not least the player can't manually pillage or disband in the original - these are not options - while in WE they are just like in MTW. I personally find that these make a significant impact in the game.
Hello,

I had forgotten these changes also. Yes it's true, the building costs were halved in the MI/WE Edition. It's also true that the AI clans no longer get infinite money and disband/raze was introduced.

STW/MI introduced many features that the AI simply can't use. This continued in MTW, with the addition of many more non AI features and probably to a lesser extent the newer games.
