Excellent choice for the next game! There are so few games dealing with Ancient Rome [Rome: Total War being the only other one that I know of].
But I agree that the title should be changed to something like "Crossing the Rubicon". I've forgotton what little Latin I learned in school, so I don't know what the title means.
Or perhaps a famous quote from Shakespear's Julius Caesar? Like "Beware the Ides of March!"

oh come on, its one of the most falsely stated quotes of the world....
Gaius Iulius Caesar is supposed to have it spoken, when HE crossed the Rubicon
they are closer to your idea then you think

where can we vote?
seriously, its tempting, however, seeing the many detailed units, set the priority on
1.) game/ fresh money
2.) DLC/fresh money
x.) sprites/figures/fun
we will need your company longer than we play AIE, unless it has an impact close to AACW (i never stopped playing and really wish it will be such a success).
thus get it to the market and we are going to ask you for it...

For those who forget the latin there will be this version...

if you look up "Noli turbare circulos meos" you will figure out, the legend goes as the romans did not like math neither, nor mechanics, not physics...
As you see on page one, its the old system of Wars in America, as well for supply as for battles. thus for many players it will be a "cooled down" situation to run into the game.
the rest is learning by drag and drop action. three to four games and you will fall in love to it.

I'm not worried about me, I found strength to read the manual and really more concerned about intuitive interface but I understand it's hard to do and many people already used to current one. But tutorial is what this game really needs to get new players. It's at least possible to make decent videotutorial - the best AGEOD tutorial I've seen yet was on Rise of Prussia and it was text and screens and it still was much better than usual tutorial with walls of text and no context help.
Or, f.e. new Paradox games use those popups that appear every time you get your first specific screen. Easy to implement, I think. First unit selection - get help on bottom bar, first unit statistics screen - get help on statistics, first battle - info on battle system, 10th battle - advanced info on battles, first invasion into enemy territory - info on territory capture, first siege - help on that, selected unit with cavalry or artillery - help on those matters etc. As there's much info in manual, you have to play and read it simultaniously, it would be much easier if info would fall on you gradually, not big wall of text in tutorial and silence, but additional info as you play your first scenario.

yes... so far i am allowed to say...
you might derive from the screenshots, that there areas as well as nationality restrictions, like certain troops only be levied on allied ground or regional restrictions.

where you can make the educated guess that Auxiliares as well as Legions have to be raised in different Theaters of war, since they are at hand in multiple variations

Thanks for the answer. Looks like I haven't been paying attention, also managed to typo a few times.

they want to make you appetite, not spoiling your hunger...
but if you go back in the screenshots, you find local units, tribal units and specialties like warchariots already...
EDIT:
- whenever you see the alpha-screen shot the building screen you could enlarge it and find units like archers of "Rhodus and Crete" (more i cannot tell, but more are in game)
- they have shown you the Galatian units, with love for details even down to different swords and chainmail
- as you already saw, one picture shows a great many of Pontian troops (there is the war chariot)
if they feel its time, then they might show you a Parthian empires maybe...

Can you point me there. I just scanned the 12 pages and I only saw War Chariots of Pontus.
Edit: I demand a view purely of the East!
Also, is there gonna be a Fall of Rome DLC so I can go Sassanid on those Greeks?

its not about if they can, but if its desirable for their business/ROI... first most probable added content is announced on page one anyway, the earlier time span comes first.
BTW: i know many players of Ageods games from this forum, who would not even touch total war, but maybe their first Shogun or so

I am very glad to see Ageod going back to where its strength lies...very detailed (not to mention pretty) campaigns/scenarios as opposed to grand/long-term strategy. They would need another engine for that, I believe.
I want to see more games like RoP, WIA, ACW, NCs, etc.. in the market and only Ageod seems to be making them. AJE seems to be right on spot so I will certainly be a customer.
Good luck Philippe(s) with the new enterprise.
