Do I need to download Bonus Content?

Is Bonus Content already in sdcentral's full pdate?

from GalCiv2 Forums
In the downloads page for the Collector's Edition stuff are two files. The file at the top of the page is a 25 Meg file that appears to have bonus content (though some/all of it is already in the sdcentral version of the updated game?). The second download changes a registry setting to enable all the extra content.

My question is... Do I need to install the 25 Meg of bonud content? If I do, do I install that first, or the smaller CE content only stuff?

Thanks for the help!

If you've installed off Stardock Central, you only need the smaller CE content update. If you've installed off the retail CD, then you can either update via Stardock Central or using that 25MB file; then you'd install the smaller update.

Could someone explain, what the Bonus-Content actually is? I am to lazy to enter another 28-Char-Serial to find out myself.
