Hi, can anyone please tell me if there is any difference in content between MTW gold edition and MTW battle colection?

Thanks

Good question. Isn't there anything at the CA website?

Hi Pharnakes,
As far as I know, there is no difference in content - I think the only significant difference is who the publisher is. SEGA for the Gold Edition and Activision for the Battle Collection.
Hope this helps you, good luck, cheers!

The "Battle Collection" is just the original MTW/VI disks packaged in 1 box, if I remember right.

The newer "Gold Edition" installs MTW/VI from 1 disk, fully patched.

I'm sorry to disagree, yet I'm sure there was an outrage a while ago about the 2.01 patch not being available for Gold Edition users.

My (UK) MTW "Gold Edition" is v2.01 installed.

Edit: Your referring to www.totalwar.com

The exe file that comes with the Sega Medieval Gold edition is version 2.0. This patch will update it to version 2.01. This isn't necessary for those of you who have purchased the Eras pack as this already comes patched to 2.01.

Apologies, I assumed all MTW "Gold Editions" were identical.
