Ah, that's where I got confused. The standing guy you're referring to is technically a part of the monk scene (individually it's called Cathedral Abbey, it's really it's own show scene) so I wasn't equating it to the right side of the vehicle, which is Jewish/Islamic empire. Both the AAs in Cathedral Abbey are still there.
And aha, you're right about the table. It wasn't something I initially recognized as new, but when you had said that it was something I'd doubted.
And I don't think the distant ship will return. I know on more than one occasion I would hear people talk about not being happy with it because there was no way to light it that made it seem realistic enough, it would always cast the shadow which wouldn't really appear there.
Really disappointed the ship is gone, and the Egyptian making the hieroglyphics, and the theater scene (details add depth and character to the story), but happy you answered my question. Thanks for solving my curiosity!
