Nowhere Near As Good As Original Rome Total War

I am finding this version is nowhere near as good at the orignal Rome Total War. The ecomics and building are much murkier and harder to get a grip on, the battle AI does not seem much improved, and as a whole far less enjoyable. Am about ready to abandon it after only a few hours of playing time when I found the original game instantly addictive, very intuitive and played it for many many hours.
