Garrison forces generally overhauled and a siege attack should be much more challenging now when attacking modified factions. Mobs should not be present anymore as Garrison troops.
Corruption effect expanded, as a parameter, whenever cities and factions develop.
Campaign difficulty settings and CAI settings updated, which should eliminate unwanted effects in the last version (including the CAI task management causing it to leave a city undefended).

Projectile stats tweaked based on feedback in the forum. Slingers now have longer range to make them more valuable while Archers are more deadly but with shorter range compared to slingers.
Melee weapon stats tweaked and with more diverse stats than before.
Shield stats tweaked and with more diverse stats than before.
Body armour stats tweaked and with more diverse stats than before. Units with more than one type of body armour now have an armour value that is less than the value of the best type of armour in the unit.
This should make the stats between the units more authentic and diverse compared to CAC 0.5.
Unit Stats UI (Battle and Campaign play) shows new entries such as shield armour and protection. Some of the existing entries are removed from the UI.
Pikemen significantly less deadly compared with CAC 0.5 (no more antique tanks on the battlefield) but still very deadly head-on. Pikes are also shown while the Pike units are stationary are walking.
Gates will burn a little bit sooner after torch attack compared with CAC 0.5, just to give the AI a chance.

Version 0.5 preview version (Alpha#1 release):
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Campaign changes included:
Continental Celtic Faction Unit roster(s) completed.
Carthaginian Faction Unit roster completed.
Roman Unit roster completed and is the most comprehensive so far with many interesting units. The Roman Auxiliary units are also heavily modified.
Iberian Factions Unit rosters completed.
Germanic Factions Unit rosters completed.
Briton and Eblani Factions Unit rosters completed.
Startpos Area of Recruitment (AoR) implemented for modified factions.
Startpos editing/modding implemented for modified factions including starting units and General units.
2 Turns Per calendar included with corresponding changes to building times, building growth bonus, building cost, research times, agent skill level vs. time, unit recruitment times (special units) and also unit recruitment cost.
Fictive Nova Carthago faction replaced by historical Bastetani faction.
The extinct Etruscans are replaced by the Celtic Boii faction. The existing playable Boii faction is renamed Boihaemum.
Starting regions changed for Carthage, Rome, Roxolani and Scythia.
Starting diplomacy settings modified to resemble the Rome II campaign starting date.
Many faction names and settlement names are modified for historical correctness. This also implies that some lesser factions (tribes) may be replaced by more important factions.
Technology effects are heavily modified for balancing and relevance.
Unit availability via researchable reforms are expanded with reference to vanilla Rome 2 for most rosters. As an example Rome will go through Cornelian reforms followed by Marian reforms and Augustean reforms. Even Auxiliary units are upgraded via researchable reform for more professional legions.
General diplomacy settings are heavily modified to hopefully allow for a more interesting campaign.
Building effects modified primarily to lower squalor and starvation influence on gameplay (including AI).
Character trait effects are reduced overall for balancing purposes.
Campaign map general attrition and siege attrition modified. Furthermore smaller ships will be exposed to attrition while not in littoral waters.
Onagers removed from all factions except Rome and Fire pot ships are also removed.
Campaign map zoom limits extended to get a closer look at your characters and also to provide a better strategic view of the campaign map. Activate during campaign intro movie via the ESC key (also removes FoW temporarily for the first turn).
Many other CAI changes are included in order to hopefully improve the gameplay.
Battle changes included:
Battle aspects are completely modified and will hopefully not resemble vanilla.
Battles will last considerably longer and with far more casualties. Unit fatigue influences a unit’s ability to survive and prevail in combat. Therefore fresh reserves can actually tip the balance against better opponents if committed at the right place and the right time.
“Hammer and anvil” can effectively be used in battle to win a battle as flank and rear attacks will have an influence when attacking an opponent, but don’t expect the unit to rout right away!
Projectiles, armour and melee weapon stats are heavily modified for more historical correctness and are more diverse than vanilla. Fantasy projectiles such as flaming javelins and flaming arrows from horse archers are removed. Pilums and javelins can be fired from a standstill by a unit during defence.
More variables are included in the calculation of a particular unit’s hit-points compared with vanilla resulting in more diverse battle stats.
Siege engines and catapults are less effective against city walls so expect more casualties during siege battles.
Torch attack against gates are much less effective than vanilla. This is a placeholder implementation until those silly torches are removed by CA.
All units’ appearance (“uniform”) for each modified faction is reworked and is still an ongoing process. So far the western most factions are reworked. Campaign map Generals appearance is also modified.
All factions’ uniform colours are modified and less saturated compared to vanilla colours.
Most factions are playable in custom battle.
Units’ fantasy abilities are disabled and the effects of the remaining ones are modified.
Shield patterns modified for Romans, Italics, Hellenics and Carthage. Custom made wooden shield added to East Germanic units.
Naval battle stats and speed modified for more realism. Note that transport ships are very vulnerable when facing warships.
Many more minor changes to the battle play in the quest for the optimum game experience.
