I don't have a problem with the cease fire delay - experienced units stop firing smartly, less experienced don't. That's pretty normal, really.

One thing I didn't see - the Wonder bonus dropping off after 4 turns.

Friendly fire is no longer a problem. You have to give the order to fire at an engaged enemy unit.

You mean, say archers will not fire at an engaged unit unless directly ordered?
That would be good too, probably.

Yes they automatically stop. Even if giving the order to do it, some men might not shoot if they are too close to a friendly soldier that blocks the view. It can still give lots of friendly fire so you still have to be careful.

One example: If you have several javelin armed units standing behind a friendly unit the unit right behind it might not shoot at all while those standing further back will shoot (and hit friendlies too)
