GAMEPLAY
Options on your Cities
While in the map view, when you click on your city there is a new button called "Stratagem" that allows you to use different items. They appear to be defensive spell-like items you can use; basically it can alter what the enemy see on scouting reports, etc. If anyone has had any experience with these please post!

Options on other Cities
There is once again a stratagem button. Only this time the "spell" like items are offensive. More to come.. If anyone has had any experience with these please post!

There is also a champions button. Not sure what it does yet, but it looks like you can choose you own "champions".
There is also a declare war button now. If you want to fight a player one on one (e.g. your alliance is not at war with that player's alliance) You cannot attack him/her (only scout) UNLESS you first declare war on them. After declaring war you have to wait 8 hours before you can attack the person (also their city turns red to help you find it more easily on the map). War will last for 48 hours and only during this time can you attack the player. You will have to declare war again after the 48 hours is up.
Thanks to whoever left the comment
Suzerain
When you click on a city (yours or another player's) you'll see a Suzerain now as well. If a city is colonized by someone the suzerain shows you who the colonizing lord is.
Workshop Options
Now when you click on your workshop (or there is an easy access button on the interface) you can upgrade different gear (weaponry, mount training, ring craftin, etc.). What you can do with this gear is arm it on your hero. Each item add different benefits to your hero.

Forge Options
There are now two options in the forge. Advanced Blacksmithing and Advanced Gems Smelting. Advanced blacksmithing allows you to embed different level gems to different gear that adds additional attributes to it.
Gems & Forge Details
Advanced gem smelting allows you to combine two of the same level gems to form an even higher level gem. However there is a chance that the smelting fails in which case you get back a gem of the same level. For example smelting two level 1 rubies yields one level 2 ruby.

Rally Spot -> March: Colonize
You can choose to colonize as an operation now. Not sure what it does yet.
Rally Spot -> March: Preset Troops
You can now save 3 troop settings and recall it later on instead of having to manually type it in each time. This is great for farming, have a setting set to 500 ballistas and 400 transporters and you can easily use it later on! There is also an option to choose "last setting".
Rally Spot: Fugitive Camp
When you run out of food, instead of your military running away completely they now go to the "fugitive camp". This is like the medic camp where you have to "persuade" them before they leave permanently.
Rally Spot -> Medic Camp: Automatically Heal
There is a checkbox in the "Medic Camp" pop up called "Automatically Heal". Instead of having to remember to go back to your medic camp to heal your wounded soldiers, with this box checked it should do it by itself.
Feasting Hall: Hero Ransom
Now when you run out of gold in your city, instead of your hero running away he/she will be in the "Hero Ransom" tab. This allows you a certain amount of time to use medals/gold to lure him/her to return. Loyalty decreases over time though and when it reaches zero you can no longer get the hero back.
Inn: Folk Hearsay
You need your inn to be at level 5 to use this. You can pay 10 game cents to get the location of a historical figure, which is a hero with very high stats. Most of the ones available are located in lvl 10 NPC cities. Prices for various actions are as follows:
+ Refreshing the list costs 100 gold
+ Searching for heroes costs 1000 gold
+ Accepting the quest is free
+ Getting the coords costs 10 cents
Thanks to ~Shadowfire Omega~ for this information!
More City Slots
There are now 13 city slots. Whether you can actually have 13 cities is still to be confirmed.
QUESTS
Added Routine Quests
There are now four new categories of quests called "Queen/King", "Stratagem", "Achievement Accomplish", and "Uprising". More to come on these as we have more information.
Hero Quests
These quests involve donating allied forces (your military units), military material (resources), and military feat (medals). The reward for accomplishing these goals include a significant amount of prestige as well as good items (Mich scripts, truce agreements, adv city teleporters, etc).
Commission Quests
This is the last tab in the "Quests" page. Basically if lets you put up a reward (in game cents) for someone to act upon a city. Thus far only "anti-colonization" (i.e. attack/destroy) is available. You can also accept commissions issued by other players. You must accept a commission within 3 hours of it being issued.

MISC
Look & Feel
Look and feel has definitely been improved. Graphics are pretty good and are much smoother than in the original Evony game.
Zoom in Town/City Views
In the town and city views you can zoom in and out with your mouse wheel to see the nice details on the graphics. The town view has little people walking around in it.
