Attack move fixed?

The new PUP update contains a lot of fixes to bugs like attack move and travois or settlers not building Trading posts. I'm interested in the results. Whats your experience with A-move? Does it work properly like in Starcraft 2 or Warcraft 3? I haven't played any RTS where A-move wasn't working properly, so the fact that this has been an issue for so long prevents me from enjoying the game.

Also, hopefully we get much needed balance changes. There are none in the new update. I would have preferred to be able to test balance changes. There are many RTS games which give players the option to test out balance changes before they go live. For some reason Aoe3 doesn't seem to use this option.
