Awesome work, people!

Can I resume my saved games on this one, or do I have to start over? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Need to start over, I'm afraid. You could try using your old savegame, but I don't recommend it.
By the default the game prevents you from loading your previous savegames with Patch 2 installed, but you can override this if you want to try.
