I am considering purchasing this game, but I wanted to know whether there was an "Attack Move" ability like that found in Blizzard RTS games.
The lack of this feature was my single biggest gripe with the "Age of Empires" series, and I seriously hope that Ensemble has caught on by now.
Please let me know if this feature is included. Thanks.

Yes there is. It's 'a' plus right click.

There is an attack-move command. Works the same. In fact, the plain-vanilla "move" command sucks more than it does in WarIII, as your units take a longer time before reacting to enemy fire than they do in the other game.
There's a bug with the attack-move though (or maybe it's just me), if you go attack-move and click on a thing instead of a location, the units will ignore the thing (except if they were attacking it already) and treat the command as attack-move location. That is, they just stay and attack random things.

I found one problem though, you can not attack-move on mini-map,I hope a patch will fix this bug.

This is excellent news!
Thank god they finally got on the ball and realized this wa necessary, especially for games with large amounts of melee combat.
