in M2TW i would fight maybe 1 full stack usually in a castle battle and that was it. while taking over a factions entire empire.

cheers knoddy
Also, economy was much, much harder. That would be a big pain in the butt, when you have said 15-20 stacks right beside your border.
As for M2:TW, in full stack siege battles, the AI would just wait outside the walls if you have withdrawn your troops to the second or third line of defence...
