There are videos and some screenshots at the .com. They've figured out an overhand spear formation finally, but no two-handed phalangites. The Makedonian phalangites shown in a few screens have transformer shoulder pads or something...oh, and there's some crazy looking unit with a giant hook/sword and a hoplon.

Indian naked female archers heh, guess that's their main selling argument ;)
Still, I don't expect anything much from this. It probably won't even get us a new patch for RTW (and we all know the vanilla campaign quality).
If you want to know what I think, it's highly probable that this is some old content one or two of CA's guys made in the beginning and didn't finish which SEGA took and wants to make a bit of money with now.

well, IMO really unless they plan to overwrite vanilla RTW with 4 factions, the expansion pack may well introduce new ways of developing a mod, so that will be fairly promising....
