I'm wondering what this means:

JR: We no longer have the AI controlling any of the player's units--your own reinforcements come onto the battlefield one by one (with up to 20 at any one time), and you control all of them. Allied AI nations who reinforce the player always remain under AI control.

So uhm that means only one army of 20 units on the battlefield max or up to 40 units total?

Prolly the former

20 units on the battlefield max, with reinforcement units coming in as you lose units. Much like how it worked in Medieval.

Yeah it does not sound like an improvement to me. Then we risk having to play very long battles killing off one stack at a time just like MTW...

It also means the AI can probably use its superior numbers to crush our armies and then take out the reinforcements as they enter one by one.

If the A.I is so much improved in ETW then why can't the A.I control our units for us if we want it to?

That's one thing I really loved about Medieval. You had these epic battles where you actually had to regroup after fending of the first wave of attackers. You could also use your reinforcements more strategically, for example send tired units or those that are out of ammo to retreat and have fresh reinforcements join you.

I took the comment to mean that the old system will come back, so I'm really hoping for it.

I hope that we've misunderstood that would be rubbish (and a step backwards)
