ok, just had to point out that this game rules. I just got my hands on it recently, and its just awesome. You can have huge battles, siege castles, etc, units are controlled in battalions, you can really use strategy. One really cool thing is that it actually takes factors like weather, fatigue, morale, etc, and changes battles accordingly. Units become less effective if they get the runaround for too long, feel safer if their flanks are protected, get demoralized and eventually run when things look bad enough, etc. I'm hooked on this for the time being, its all I'm playing. It's great!
Anyone else played it? And has played Rome: Total War or Shogun: Total war (other two games in the series)? I'm curious how they compare.
