Sounds good overall, but still hints that battles will be a bit too short for certain tastes. It was mentioned somewhere there that "you will be lucky if units rout within 30 seconds of engaging in melee, and if they do...". Seems overall battles still won't last too long, but I suppose such things can be modded.

Also, I kind of didn't mind the difficulty levels giving the AI attack bonuses, as it was the only way to kind of even out casualties in RTW. Maybe they should have some small defense bonuses or something? Well, in any case, I suppose we'll see how it all plays out in a few weeks, then modding will take care of the rest.
