Hello everyone,
I've just finished playing the AEO Expansion demo and love it. Are there differences in between the original and the expansion? Does the expansion just contains extra scenarios?
Anyhow, I would appreciate any help. Please e-mail your response, because I'm not sure when I'll come back to this board.
thanks,

If anyone else can think of something I've missed please add

There are several other features that were introduced with the expansion:
- double-clicking a unit automatically selects all units of that type on screen (great for hotkeying) - pressing the HOME key or middle mouse key takes you to the location of the last alert - all technologies now provide an alert when they are finished - Assyrian and Yamato villager speeds are reduced - Phoenician woodcutting speed is reduced - shorefishing speed is reduced - fish are more plentiful overall - Persian farm penalty is removed - Ballistics is tamed - last and least, there's now a smoother edge to the fog of war
