Well, the cities are different. And you have an Alexander unit in the
game, a general, instead of a no name general unit like in the
previous games. It's different as in you have to finish the game in
100 turns or else Alexander dies and you lose. So it's quite a blitz
throughout the map. I had hoped they had covered India as well in the
map, but the map ends right at India's borders...

I played it and uninstalled it. I am looking more forward to the
strategy map and the strategy game. As for the battles, well, lets
just say I expected the graphics to look a little "cleaner". All over
the net I've heard people raving about the clean graphics but I
thought Rome's graphics were much cleaner.
As far as better goes, yes, I think Medieval's graphics are better.
There's a lot of mess on the battlefield and lots of chaos...
One thing which bugged me was the minor change to the way the camera
moved though...it just drove me nuts and after playing Rome for so
long, I couldn't stand it.

I am eagerly waiting for the launch of the game...I am sure it'll be
amazing..
