DE offers 4K support, a new single player campaign called The Last Khans, and four new civilisations: Bulgarians, Cumans, Lithuanians and Tatars.
It provides players the ability to zoom in and out on the map, and the possibility to choose from 3 AI's: that of the original game, the improved AI from the HD Edition, and an AI developed for this edition.
