Update from CraigCW

I'm actually very pleased with every response given in that Q&A. Good stuff, CA!

Not so much for me on some of them:

Now on to Craigie's comments:
1. The flying soldiers, over powered artillery will be tuned down "a bit" = I am calling BS right here as he puts so many qualifiers around his statements that we can all interpret this item the way we want to. I have seen this movie before - we think he means going from the present 11 down to 6. He actually means going from 11 down to 10 - sigh.

2. Control Points = Glad to read this and I am more than satisfied with the explanation - and like the penalty for forced marchers caught "on the hop".

3. Unit cards = Sorry they're awful - no matter how "useful" they may be and I'm guessing that they will be the first item modded. And that bit about the Romans copying the Greeks? Please. They didn't copy - or steal! - Cretian/Myceanan era pottery but the later more realistic stuff.

4. Fast battles = Yes, I can see CA speeding things up for the limited attention span crowd that makes up the gameing media. Hope they do slow things down tho'.

well I kind of like the cards i am also fine with the capture point (how would one expect to win a battle in a city without taking key points first? ie water supplies etc) so im fine with the game so far and i don't realy care how fast the battles are i just wanna have fun.

Just noticed the bit about cultural victory. It will be good to not have to steamroller large portions of the maps each time. (Though I do miss the days of MTW where you fling fifteen stacks in the direction of the Golden Horde.)
