The game looks astonishing, but I'm also very pleased with some of the gameplay changes they've made.
Even more encouragingly, the Eurogamer preview states that the micromanagement of individual troops at the Province level is now gone, which is a great relief. I'd love to see management of fort garrisons at that kind of detail, but perhaps that's best left to a mod.

That really annoyed me about the first game (although I realise that it was certainly technically unavoidable then). Armies are also now specific Legions with their own group histories, to which presumably auxiliaries can be added - perhaps also the slaves and servants of the soldiers?
