Could anyone give me the list of differences between floppy and CD versions in LotR? So far I got

_Germany map
_Voice acting
_Movie

Is there anything else? Are there any gameplay differences? Would there be a reason to play floppy version if you've got the CD too (I got the GOG version which includes both).

Thanks

PS, if you know the release dates (or at least months) of these versions, check my other thread.

Gameplay-wise, the only difference I could find is the NPC never accepts when I offer yield in the CD version. Whereas in the floppy version, they'll always accept an yield when outnumbered 3:1 in open battle. As a bonus, the yield troops sometimes end up as immigrants to the county.

Thank you. With no further replies, I'll mark this as solution.
The Install Guide on replacement docs lists a few other changes.
_Improved multiplayer
_Army movement: and army that has already moved during a turn will now be displayed with a still flag instead of a waving one. An army that has not yet been moved will flash on the Overview map.
