Windows: no console window behind the game. Started from a terminal, the
program still prints there (--version, errors, the crash report's
location).
The Windows version's soundtrack plays: every CD from August 1996
carries it (C2WIN95/RAW/), the 1998 US disc has nothing else. It is
different music, not the DOS score re-recorded — Keith Zizza wrote it in
1996 for the Windows release, where the 1995 game is Jeremy A. Bell's
and Jason P. Rinaldi's. Choose in the launcher, in the web page's
Settings → Game data → Music, or with --music dos|windows; the DOS
music, which follows your city's mood, stays the default. Either place
says which of the two the game data has.
The web page's Settings tab "Assets" is "Game data", as the launcher
and the front page already said.
The five full-screen movies the Windows version ships at 500x240
(battle won/lost, promotion, victory, defeat) play from those files
instead of the 320x152 DOS ones.
Launcher: the game data's version and release note each get a line of
their own (no more left-truncated "...rsion 1.02"), and the status line
no longer draws over the media note.
Launcher: a disc without music files is told so, instead of "they
stayed on the CD", which is only true of an installed folder.
Launcher: accented letters in a localized version line ("Version
Française") are shown without the accent instead of as "?": C2.ENG is
CP437, not Latin-1.
The helmet is the icon everywhere: the game and launcher windows
(taskbar, Alt-Tab), the Windows executable (with a version block), the
AppImage, the macOS disk image's volume, and a 256 px icon on Linux
desktops without SVG support.
