taken from the article ShadesWolf posted:

you can expect similar changes in the high-level risk-style stretegy section too. Primarily, that it's no longer a risk-style section built out of chuncks. Instead, it's something considerably more ambitious. Rome: Total War features a continuous 3d map covering the whole of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and you can zoom down at any point on the map to the battlefield. In theory you could walk your army across the 3d terrain all the way from France to Egypt. This means ythat you can expect to meet on approximetely 10,000 battlefields...

Also mentioned in the article are day/night cycles, different climates for different regions, each side has totally unique units, flaming pigs(against elephants), digging under castle walls, seasons change, build forts to guard mountain passes, place units in the woods for ambushes, ford rivers, and move your army through different more difficult or easy routs

Also noted is the ability to threaten other factions and demand tribute.

Looks like CA has been listening to us, and looks like it's paid off.
