Zip the time up all the way and it takes a few minutes. If you're playing a MTW Campaign, don't talk about how you don't have time to do stuff. It's a time consuming game and you knew that when you started it.
Hiding on the edge of the map can be cheesy and might not be cheesy - its hard to tell. The AI is incapable of attacking head on it seems and will always flank you so the player ends up shifting his troops around to meet up with the AI's flankers and they try and REFLANK you again and again all the while your missile troops are massacring his men. So I don't think thats cheesy. Plus, it seems like all the good hills are at the edges of the maps. I don't know why. Didn't seem to be the case in SHogun.
"Pruning" your royal family by killing off older heirs isn't cheesy either. I have read a lot in history that kings did pick a favorite heir and made sure he was set up to be King, sometimes making something unfortunate happen to the oldest son. Killing your own king though is kind of cheesy.----------------
---------------Reloading is still the all-out cheesiest tactic. Even if you only reload victories, the game is still gonna be a lot easier if you have 1000 troops survive the battle instead of 500. Having only 500 may lead you to a DEFEAT the next turn.
