What is exactly in GalCiv II :Ultimate Edition

from GalCiv2 Forums

My title should explain it all. What I want to know is. What is exactly in GalCiv II :Ultimate Edition? I actually looked at the package in the store this weekend. I saw that it is to come with a music CD which is kinda cool but what I want to know is

1)What Version of each game comes with it (what the actual version number for each game is without patching)?

2)Does it come with an updated printed manual and maybe a reference card (it did feel heavy for its size)?

3)Please list what else comes in the package.

1.53, 1.80g, 1.97 (1.96).  I think.

The manual is a pdf and has been updated for TA with version 2.0, which is a free update via Impulse.  Don't know if it has a print manual, or why it feels heavy, sorry.

UE is DL + DA + TA.  Apart from the music CD, which I personally wasn't aware of until someone pointed it out, there's no real difference compared to buying the bundle package or buying the games separately (apart from cost, anyway).

Could somebody who has purchased the Ultimate Edition please respond.

Just bought in USA at Best Buy for $39.99

Post #1 said it. I would just add that my Ulimate Edition was TA 2.02 right away. I was not aware of any update occuring to grab the patch.

New to the game and loving it!! Not sure that I find the music that catchy to bring the CD anywhere...

Thanks guys. Since there's no printed manual i'll just get the CD version of TOA, especially since stardock just dropped the price to $20. Since I already have the Gold Edition it's less hassel that way.
