Overall I think this is a major step forward in expansion creation. I am a little sketchy about flamethrowers, but the Romans do look more interesting. I think this idea of small maps with focused conflicts is the right path to take as it has been a success in the past (STW, and VI). Besides I think it is more realistic for a final goal to be control of Britain, the baltic or the holy land, not all of europe. anyways it looks good, and I look forward to playing the Romans, and the Teutons.
