Well I finally broke down and got the game and I must say Im impressed. Once my Saxon game is over I'll probably try one of the Hordes or perhaps even the Eastern Empire, we'll see. I miss the power of the solid mass of the phalanx which helped me greatly. The AI has been greatly improved in my opinion, they seem more up for a fight now, even feigning retreats to break my battle lines. If they wish to settle in lands won through Saxon blood and steel they shall find they are most unwelcome. Bah, they are numerous but they shall die easily. Ugly, dirty creatures who seem to enjoy the presence of their horses over their women folk. I've also had my first encounter with the Sarmatian hordes. Many brave warriors sacrificed their lives to buy me time to bring my main army over from the Rhineland.

First thought was the Western Romans were pansies, they hid behind their stone walls with little garrisons like cowards and allowed me to capture pretty much all of France and push them back to the Alps but as my supply lies are stretched, theirs is shortened and I'm now beginning to see sizable stacks, An elite Saxon army of 900 warrior braves was defending a crossing of the river Elbe and was smashed by 2 Roman armies of equal size, although they was able to severely damage one of the Roman stacks. Got it on the day it came out (UK) been playing it to death, still in my first game as the honourable Saxons.
