Battle System

The battle system in Iberia: Total War has been changed radically from the vanilla Rome: Total War. The enemy AI is now harder to defeat and various tweaks to stats have changed how battles play out. Various weapons may be very deadly but slow to use while others can be quick to use yet not very deadly. Each piece of armour and each shield for each unit has been independently tweaked to provide a really polished affect to the gameplay. Units now behave like they would in real life. Heavy infantry has high defense, armour and attack but is slow to attack. Projectiles and ranged units now deal less damage but deal a higher morale affect. Speaking of morale, moral has been changed so units will rout quicker if put in a difficult position. One cavalry charge into the flank and that could be enough for them to rout. Battles are no longer won by who has the better units(although that helps) but by who uses the terrain to their advantage, uses the best formations and who has the best strategies.

Miscellaneous

The campaign map has been reworked with more settlements in Iberia. The campaign also only extends to the eastern tip of Italy.
The music has been reworked too.
New speeches for each faction have been added in.
There are four provincial campaigns and one "classical" imperial campaign.
All the models for generals, captains and fleets have been changed.
