Depending on how much rebalancing has happened, the game could be very different. Late Era is supposed to have more emphasis on national units, so I quess Barbarian Kings will be there, Return of Raptors, probably Ulm (maybe Iron Faith?)... all of these are regarded as weaker nations. I hope that means that there will be more nations in total, AND more nations that are viable to play (in their own era, at least).

Random map generator could also be a big thing, depending on how good maps it makes. We haven't seen any results from that, though, so it's hard to say anything about that.

There's at least one other thread that was started on the same ground (Feeling a bit... so so), you might want to read that.
