 * Soundtrack from historic thematic movies and games (Alexander, Gladiator, Europa Universalis, Rome Total War, Sparta etc.) may be included, recreating the specific atmosphere of the period.
 * Major factions will no longer have "generic" heroes. Minor ones are to keep them, but they will also have at least one historical personality.
 * Campaigns will most likely start with Philip's invasion in Thrace and Hellas and will end with Marcus Aurelius' Vindobonna campaign (approximately 350BC - 180AD) for maximum historical accuracy. There may be some additional battles before and after the selected period.
 * New formations and special abilities - pilum throw for most Roman infantry, syntagma (phalanx) for all phalangites, testudo for legionary infantry. Also cuneal formation (normal and reverse) is featured.
