Where do you win your campaigns?

[Rhyfelwyr]

Is it on the battlefield or on the campaign map?

In the past I tended to face enemy armies in the field with fairly even odds. But as I've got a little more experienced I find that I can't help becoming an economic powerhouse, and overwhelming an entire faction with swarms of full stack armies.

This is a little bit annoying since I am having less epic battles, and more and more autoresolving. The AI simply can't cope when you flood their lands with 8 full armies on turn 40. Its possible to storm by their filed armies so quickly you can basically rush all their settlements in a single turn.

Does anyone else find this? The game is about medieval warfare, it should be about feudal levies meeting chivalrously at a agreed location. But I seem to be using tactics more appropriate for WWII, where I blitz the weaker factions, and fight a strategic war of attrition against the stronger ones, with nearly everything happening on the campaign map.

Maybe it would help if the number of troops you could maintain was limited by more than money?
