Better and more varied graphics (no more "clone" units). Slightly improved AI. Multiple unit recruitment from the same settlement per turn. Permanent forts (could be used to represent lesser cities or towns). The ability to mod unbreakable alliances. Economic warfare using merchants to control resources.

MTW2 is good. It could have been better had CA concentrated more on the improvement of the AI than just the graphics. Even so it is better than RTW-BI. Not as much as it could have, but enough to make it preferable to BI.

However if there was no room for improvement in MTW2 we wouldn't need the EB team to make it better. Thank god it's not perfect. With the team "tinkering" on it. I have no doubt EB2 will be suberb.

To get the full experience I'm afraid most of us with an older computer will seriously have to consider upgrading. And unfortunately there is no working background script to add the $$, ££ or €€ to your bankaccount.
