differences between 1st and 3rd edition rules?

[zedmango]

I can't find this anywhere - what are the differences between the 1st and 3rd edition rulesets?

Surprised this hasn't been answered yet.

AFAIK the difference between first and third editions is not the "how to play" rules/mechanics, but changes to some of the dogma actions.

Here are a couple of examples:
Oars:

• First edition: I demand you transfer a card with a <crown> from your hand to my score pile! If you do, draw a [1]!
• Third edition: I demand you transfer a card with a <crown> from your hand to my score pile. If you do, draw a [1] and repeat this dogma effect!

Fermentation:

• First edition: Draw a [2] for every two <leaf> on your board.
• Third edition: Draw a [2] for every color on your board with one or more <leaf>.

BGG has a thread with instructions and a link for first edition owners to stick on top of first edition cards to turn them into third edition.

For the base game this is not ONLY oars and fermentation.
"industrialization" is now based on number of colors with factory symbol, not numbers of symbol
"Society" works only for higher value cards with crowns
"Combustion" for each 4 crowns

Here are the changes extract from the post of Bill Koens on BGG
