We've been hearing that the early game is difficult.
Today's update adds a new difficulty: Casual.
About Casual
The easiest difficulty, for players who just want to enjoy the flow of conquest. It is significantly easier than the current Easy.

Early-Game Tips
Rather than fully developing your domestic affairs before going to war, you will do better by recruiting early and marching early. Offense is the best defense.
You cannot send reinforcements from your own nation to another, so alliances matter. Allied nations will send reinforcements even from across the continent.
The mid-game becomes a back-and-forth struggle. This is normal. Keep attacking, build up a lead in national power, and you will push through.
