Most battles in RTW and M2TW follow the same pattern:

- Infantry clash in the middle of the field.
- The first one who make a cavalry charge in the rear of said infantry see the whole opposing army breaking and fleeing.

Believe me when I say I vaslty prefered STW and MTW fights. The graphics weren't nearly as fancy, but it felt much better nonetheless. Not to mention the AI was IMO vastly better.

Now, I couldn't play ETW demo on my laptop thanks to the crazy requirements, so I can't really say how I liked the battles into it. I'm still hoping that ETW will prove to be as challenging as MTW or STW, but I fear that CA decided to water-down everything to cater to casual gaming.
I know it isn't much, but having played the demo it didn't give me the impression being watered down for the masses. It seemed much more intelligent than Med2 for instance.
