I'm very excited, personally. This patch is huge, and promises to make R:TW the game it should have been from the beginning (not that it wasn't already outstanding, of course ).
And the changelist , of course!

Ah ha, good news

"Fixed multiple groups converging on a single point when ordered to move"
"Allowed troops defending a city with no walls to leave the wall boundary"


all yay.

All yay, indeed

The official download link was being hammered when I tried it, so I'm getting it through the torrent here at nice speeds.

Wow, this has been a long time coming! Well done to the Rome team for an amazing update

Some very nice AI improvements in this. I tested by setting up a formation of phalanx like so -

 _________
/         \

and instead of running straight into the front line, they split up their forces and sent a few units to the front, and the remainder to flank my sides. Very impressive.

I'm in love with this patch. Best bit is the new UI. Open preferences.txt and change MINIMAL_UI to TRUE.
