I find the game quite fun. Much more strategic and tactical then previous versions. I'm playing a Co-OP MP game with Joe. I am the Iceni and control the UK/Ireland landmass and am starting an invasion against some of the Gallic Tribes that declared war on us. Joe is playing as the Ungknot Wrex tribe - a Germanic Tribe that has virtually no cavalry units. We've got quite expansive Kingdoms right now and are sending Spies south, to see what the Romans are doing. I'm probably going to do one of my AARs for this as well, as Rome, if people would be interested in it (like some of my OLD AAR's from previous Total War game).
