The original had a mod that gave it more depth and granularity. The gold version iirc.

Will. That perchance be bundled in the baseline game as grand campaign?

I think you mean the "Grand Strategy" GS mod? It was very good and most people who played the game PBEM played with that, I hope its changes are bundled into the base game too.
