First impression: is the slogan altered? And I'd say I liked the old 0.7.4 loading screen, that with Europa Barbarorum Quisqe est etc. more. But maybe, probably, it's just getting used to it.

Second - I'm back to standard monitor settings. That's not so nice if you just find out, but hey I can alter that soon enough. It has also a side effect, it's rather quicker to load which is nice.

Third new campaign map - whoa: it's just so much better.
Fourth new loading screens - hey I can't read them! They're gone before I actually realise what the first few signs mean. So I really must work out how to speed up reading the loading screens properly, and still enjoying them. It's nice to see new ones though!

Fifth - the game, the battles, the unit's themself. Well, I can't say anything for now as I haven't tried them out yet.
